I hate 355s (for some reason, cant explain) so id say EscCos, if it was countless other cars id say bin the Esc off tho.
Maserati Ghibli BiTurbo or something id love mind.
What about this? Ferrari and with a twin turbo V12 pushing out 1000bhp performance should be ample.

If you can afford to run and maintain the ferrari through a specialist or main dealer, then id go for the Ferrari without question.
Servicing costs was the only thing that put me off a 355 or 348.

Apart from something with a Porsche badge on the front, what else is out there for 50k that isn't a boy racer car?

Okay Steve. Example - you could have Porkie's Skyline and change, but even though it's a quality car, it's still a modified car with big wheels, noisy exhaust, and a bodykit.
A non-modified car with similar performance, practicality, prestige etc for the same money?

Save up a bit more and get the RHD one. I know the left hookers are supposed to be better, but when I see one I just think.... YOU CHEAP CNUT!!!
Ferrari ALL the way. I know how into them you are so go for it!!!!!
You only live once mate
How can people slag off the 355
Great cars. PLENTY fast enough for a road car as well!!!!

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
The 355 is a well known drivers car.... the Lambo is an overweight, underengineered TRACTOR like Chest wig car!!!!!!
and the F50 is far superior to the F40 in my view as well...

Ultima - insanely fast, but hardly practical car to use on the road.
Exige - track tool, but hardly worthy of spending 50k on.
DB7 - so very very dated.
M3 CSL - love em, so no complaints there.
550 - probably a good buy bearing in mind it's done its depreciation, but more proper GT than sports car.
Noble - my ideal next car, but far too track focused. Same reliability issues and build quality doubts as TVR.
To say the F40 is the best car ever made is crazy IMO. Yes, I love em as well, but what's your criteria?
