    Hi Clive!

    Porsche 996 Turbo is very easy to drive fast without it actually feeling it (a la Audi), the Ferrari is much more of an event to drive...

    Depends on what would impress your good lady most.
    Nothing feels fast for long...

      my wife brought me a porsche driving experience.....so I'd recommend that..as there are always massive queue's waiting for the ferraris!!....

      If I had my time again I'd go for a 'variety' experience....including the DB9!!...

      but 911T all the way...."you lucky, lucky bar-steward..."

        The choice of cars is :

        Ferrari 360 or Porsche 911 Turbo

        HELP! Which would you choose...?

        if its the company owned by peter barnes, the 911 is in our workshop at the moment, and the engine rebuit in the 360 was done by us as well!!! i also put a clutch in the 360 the other month

        911 - kind of like throwing a lump hammer handle first

          I did a Ferarri track day experience a while back (birthday present from the better half) - at Silverstone - I can still recall the sensations of what felt like to drive a barely-contained beast round there. I'd say go for the Ferarri for the track, you won't regret it!

          If I were buying one though, it would be the Porsche every time.
