F355 or Diablo???

[_topcat]

Which do you guys recomend i get for a few months over the summer?
I am doing a weeks tour round france in that time aswell. I just want your opinions as you ve had the experiences.

Duh!!! Diablo of course!! But Ferrari is probably cheaper. I hope they are both soft or hardtops?

[djdicker]

I have both, from new. Definitely Diablo. No question

[bad company]

Depends what you want to do. Ferrari best to drive, Diablo is the best poser.

Well it looks like it will be the ferrari but still will keep a look out for a diablo. Im looking for a berlinetta but a spyder could win. i love the coupe but its the engine i like the most.
Thanks for your views guys and if you know of any for offer please let me know.

Are you planning on buying, keeping for a few months then selling?

If so, get the Ferrari. Diablos are a lot harder to sell on quickly.

Mr Rico, you are right in that the diablos are harder to sell and it will be only for a couple of months so ferrari it is.

Beg to differ, Diablo is without doubt better to drive
then 355. More difficult, but much more entertaining
and obviously much faster. Basically just a better car allround.

355 is easier to live with day to day.....(not that i have a lot of experience of the diablo i give you) but diablo is awesome...however...very big and unwieldy to a novice.....355 ultimately more fun as you can take greater risks as it is so 'chuckable' i seriously would not want to get a diablo out of shape....for a long drive around europe i think you would find (if you did it in both) that the 355 is easier to deal with and more 'practical'....however...i still yearn for a lambo albeit a murcielago rather than the diablo....something about the diablo that is not as aesthetically pleasing as the 355....just my own opinion.....i think the 355 will be easierr to shift £ for £ too after you have had enough

Thanks Basher, F355 it is i think. Just have to play in other peoples Diablos i think. Have found a couple of nice looking 355's and hope to see them soon. Keep you all posted.

You've made up your mind, so enjoy. 355 is a great car.
However it is NOT as chuckable as a Diablo, believe me.
When entering high speed corners, especially on track,
there a lot of weight transfer to the front because of the suspension set up being oriented to understeer
and this cause a rather disconcerting lightness in the rear end. There is also, relatively of course, a lot of body roll. Compared to the Diablo the engine does not know about torque and even though its very fast it doesn't feel very fast. But it is much easier to drive around town. But on the Autostrada type roads the Diablo is the superior machine. Personally I also prefer the engine note. Anyway... Have fun with it.
