hold up, i realized the price tag. since when was a 996 turbo only 120K area? aren't those atleat 200K thats the last tiem i checked. and if its just a standard porshe, a NSX type S zero will blow those out of the water. i'm dead ass. and i would pick the NSX if it was to be those low end cars. i thought you guys were talkin about the real deal porshe oops.

i'm having a hell of a time finding the orig price, b/c no sites are helping...
i did find a small excerpt from a listing for a used 2002 turbo...
"Original Window was over $129K plus the paid lux tax!!!"

so, it's not hella pricey.

116 thousand dollars for a Porsche 911 Turbo? That's fantastic value. And yes, it is technically more advanced than the Modena

I don't think I could give up the chance to have the Modena. But like everyone said, the 996 is a LOT more practical. In my mind though, Ferrari rules all.

I'd take the Porsche. It seems much more practical than a Ferrari.

Does an NSX-R count? If it does, i'll take the NSX-R. The 2002 NSX-R runs 12.8 stock with only 290 HP and some 224 TQ. Not bad for the HP/TQ and for only about 80,000-90,000.

The ferrari costs 100+ G's and it's not even fast for it's price...probably slower than the NSX-R. Saw a yellow ferrari modena got whooped by a Supra TT with only basic stuff.

I dunno about the porshe..but too costly..and probably performs only a bit better than the NSX-R

Ok stop watching fast and the furious we saw it too. And yes the 360 modena is pretty weak for a drag race but take it on a track and will spank almost anything. Also lets not forget that the modena is most likelly the best aerodynamically corect car in the world.

if we want to get into it...

that ferrari was not a 360 in the movie (i'm pretty sure it wasn't)

and... lieberman's supra has about 600+hp... i would hope it would be a stock ferrari in a race...

and a supra with the bpu will have at least the same power as a ferrari... sooo. it would make sense in a straight line.

however... take a corner. who's gonna win? not the supra most likely.

i'm an nsx fan for the exoticism that surrounds it... you see em less than ferraris. but i'd take the porsche...

It was an F355 in the F&F and i for one was rooting for it to win.... of course i knew it wouldnt, all the spotty ricers eating their popcorn would have been disappointed and added another 4 turbos to their car to ensure it doesnt happen to their comedy-Civic.. so the jap-car wins.. but the Ferrari looked infinitely better, sounded better and... hold on, what am i doing? am i really responding to this? a ferrari vs a t*y*ta? those two words shouldnt be said in the same sentence. and the guy saying a 360 isnt fast for the money... boy are you an idiot! and that the Porsche performs slightly better than the NSX-R? what are you saying its not worth the money? Youre buying a piece of history right there with the 996 TT. you dont like it? drive a civic!
