GT-R and 308/550 vs. F430 (poss Scud)

[RevHappy]

With the Enzo (& most super cars) rinsing performance of GT-R and a 308 or 550 for the click clack and V8 or 12 Ferrari sound be a better bet than a single F430 or maybe Scud. Ok so there’s the extra service, tax and insurance in running two cars and not just the one, but it would give a wider field of motoring for similar money.

Any thoughts, are two cars better than one?

I'd say 2, otherwise the special feeling of a 308 or 550 will wear off if you're in them every day.

There are some things in the 355 that if I drove it every day would drive me mad! But when its just the fun weekend car, they're just adding character!

None of them would be used as a daily cars, I guess the GT-R could?

Scud seems pretty appealing though.. (and a Nissan is always a Nissan, good though they may be)

A nissan it is, but for fast work nothing much gets close, but you'd still want something with a bit more soul, hence the combo idea.

+1 Every car has its flaws and in many supercars they are major ones. For example in a 430 to open the boot you have unlock the car, put the key in the ignition and then press the button to open the boot. Which is obviously a total pain, however if you were only usi9ng the car on sunny days it wouldn't matter.

In an ideal world then yes you would have a couple cars for all different occasions however obviously running costs have to come into it and also space. Not everyone has room for 3 or 4 cars. Nice idea though.

Actually, not quite true - there's a manual level under the dash

360 was a key in job, 430 just open the door and press the normal toggle switch. Boot then pops up.

Never had the space before, an opening may be available to make it possible.
Although I worry that multi car stable will not get enough use, but I guess you'd need more than 3 to choose from before it became an issue?
