I'll be over in America this December and thought about treating myself to a nice car for couple of days. The 335 is a good deal cheaper; 65% the cost of the 911.

My question is, is the 911 worth the extra outlay in your opinion? It will be in Miami which I know has some great roads.

Definitely this smile I hired a Challenger Hemi last year and a Mustang this year when over there - they were both lots of fun smile

I'd agree with the "hire something American" comments. Cars in the US tend to be well tuned to the US roads and domestic market gets are cheap there so I'd imagine rental prices should be reasonable. I'd be looking for a Corvette if two seats is enough, or a Mustang GT or similar if you need a 2+2.

Surely while out in the US a big V8 muscle car is required?
