Question 2004 Challenge Stradale or new 997 GT3?

I know these cars are not direct comparisons but just wondering what the masses would pick....

Of course the 360 costs more used than the GT3 new but one of our clients is selling his mint Stradale (red with the white stripe) and I'm very interested in the car.

I know both are track cars but would you rather have a new car with 4 year warranty from Porsche or a used Ferrari that is almost out of warranty?

Either way I already spec'd out my white GT3 so I will be taking delivery of that car in mid June/July. If I decide to buy the 360 Stradale, that means the GT3 will be up for sale the minute I take delivery of it. Car will be titled so no sales tax for next guy

what do you think I should do?

Still searching for my White Gallardo SE in 6-speed but so far that is not going so well so not keepin my hopes up for that car.

997 GT3- nicer, doesnt break down as much, newer, faster (maybe)

The GT3 is an amazing performer and newer, but the CS is just too cool to pass up. Better appearance and sound, more exclusivity, still fast and probably holds it value better.

CS, typical Italian trash - overstated power and LOUD for no reason. The 997GT3 will blow the CS away as quietly as the 996GT3 did.

I saw my first 997 GT3 in white today and it's absolutely spectacular!

Comparing an F car with a Porsche is so hard 'cause an F spends its time in the garage while you can actually drive a Porsche.

Well the reality (in just my opinion) is that one is an exotic, and one isnt. It is not the price or the number of car that make it an exotic in my opinion, it's what goes into it. Id go for the CS
