Both great cars, although I am not super familiar with the specs on either of them. I'd pick the Ferrari for the simple fact it is a Ferrari. Probably a dumb logic, but the name does carry some obvious weight!

Umm Ferrari for sure...I don't care how bad the Nissan is...it's still a Nissan. Ferrari only makes exotic fast and sexy cars. Nissan makes Altimas and crappy cars like the Cube.

When you go home afterwards, do you wanna say "I drove a Nissan today" or "I drove a Ferrari today"? I have spent a good amount of time in the F430, and driven the 360 and the 458, the 430 is a fun drive. Even when I have the choice of a Gallardo or the 430, I always took the 430, as the Lambo just didn't give the same feel.

I work at a race track, and one of our clients is a company that allows people to "drive" an exotic. My job was to warm them up on track, and then ride along and keep the drivers from killing themselves and the cars. If this is the type of event you are doing, you may be disapointed to find out that you don't get to go out and just rape the car, there are rules, but it is definetly a good time!

Whatever you pick, enjoy it!

Chive Driver: "...and, here's a picture of me driving a Nissan GT-R... pretty cool, huh?"
Hottie in bar: "Oh, my ex- boyfriend had one of those, but I think his was called a Sentra, or maybe an Altima? It got really good mileage, though, I think. Good luck with that, nice to meet you, and you seem like a really nice guy, but, I REALLY need to get home and wash the cat."

... orrrrr...

F430 for the sound and the driver's involvement.

GTR is too computerized.

I feel like the Nissan would feel like a regular daily driver type car, I may be wrong. Now here's my Ferrari story. I work at a restaurant in Newport beach so we always see Ferraris, Rolls Royce, Lambos and other exotics.a man had been coming in for weeks in a Audi supercharged v10 and one day came in with a F430 so me and another manager, he's also a car guy went out to check it out and talk to the guy about it. Long story short after talking to him he handed my co-worker his keys and said he could drive it while he had his coffee and that it was just a car. I had to stay and watch over the restaurant, but my coworker was gone for like 15 min and said he got it up to almost a 100 on PCH. He said it was like a dream. Needles to say had the biggest smile on his face for like a week

Please help me decide on which I should drive.

Your reason behind your vote is appreciated.

(Either vote, post, or do both!)

If it's a Scuderia go Ferrari bro.

Using exoticdriving.com huh?

I went to the local track this Wednesday to meet with my tuner and the exotic drives crew was out there. There was a white superleggera that I think I'd have to drive, Ferraris were damn nice too though!
