996TT v 550

Strongly disagree that the 550's interior is "as naff" as the 996TT, especially if the 550 is specced with Daytona seats.

The Daytonas are frankly superb - they look great and feel great. In combination with the metal-topped gear shift and drilled pedals, I don't think there's any comparison with the Porsche.

If I were you - i'd be looking at a TVR
Fast,exclusive,reliable and with fantastic interiors

I've had both (well the Ferrari was a 575, but pretty much the same). I just didn't like it at all...felt too fragile and 'visible' to use every day, but not a car you want to take out for a good thrash either. Very fast, but in a 'so what' kind of way. Having said that, the same can be said of the Turbo! But it is far more useable, cheaper to run, and dare I say, practical. If you do get one though, you need a Tubi exhaust, otherwise it doesn't sound good...but neither does the Turbo.

You do know that Fiat own Ferrari... so don't complain when your rip off punto switchgear starts to come off in your hands!

I agree the interior on the 550 is very well laid out and everything is well to hand unlike the dated 911 interior, the 550 is more of a crusier than the turbo, the 911 is a great car all round, but they are every where, not so with the 550, also 550's have dropped to a level where i dont think they will drop much more, if you can aford to put the petrol in i would go 550...
