Been looking into my first Supercar, but cant make up my mind.
Always loved the F355, now older are alot cheaper.
Then theres the spaceage GTR,but is only availble in semi auto.

They are both around the same price, apart from servicing.
The ferrari's a dream, but hassle, were as the GTR is modern, but still a nissan.
Your thoughts please???

Cheers

Ive really opend a can fo worms!!
I think trying the 355 now and maybe a GTR in the future sits well.
Dont get me wrong Im a nissan fan, had silvias, 300's ect.
They are all great cars, but modern day stuff is a little soul less.
As someone else mentioned the gearbox is a downer on the GTR (unreliable too ive been told). Paddles are a very nice gimmick, after all the 355 was the first production car to have them, but they have the worst residuals. I think its a nice thing to try, but not as special as actually driving the car as it should be.
Porsche have just brought out a 7 speed manual, the paddles i think is really to reduce warranty claims from joe bloggs trashing the gearbox day one.

I think the 355 has it by a nose, and when i win the lottery, the GTR can be my daily drive :0)

Thanks for everones input!!
