However, performance for the $$$ the Vette wins hands down.
I can drive the Vette 4000 miles (chicago to tucson and then back) with no problems (while getting 26+ mpg). I would be very worried about doing that in a 430 
and I can get the oil changed at jiffy lube, for $80  |
The only way the vette is better is because it costs less. If money is no object then i would get the ferrari hands down. A ferrari is a ferrari. There is nothing else to say. Porsche vette lambo. Its just not the same. Even if they are faster i would rather have the ferrari. The new Z06 would kill a 355 but i would rather have the 355. The new 430 is amazing. I have never owned a ferrari. but have thought about it for a while. May get one soon. But when i was growing up my father had a dozen or so over the years. And i drove them all. Just amazing. My M5 and M3s are even faster than some of his ferraris were but the feeling is just different. You cant expain it you just have to drive one.
