997 C2 vs C63, then C63 hands down. It would have to be the C2S to even be tempting.

C63
I might keep about 6-7 years but not 10 years for me

It's alright I've gone from a 500k property to a 1.1 mill one before. There really isn't that much difference between $1150 a month to $3500 when you can afford it is it? Life is too short, plus with all that saying that in December, 2012 we are all going to be history, I will not allow myself to be gone without owning a Ferrari first i can assure you that.
You only live once and that's true. I wont get my super car until im 50+ though. Any time I see a "Kid" in a Lambo or super car and he is under 50 all I think of is spoiled brat and messed up priorities.

I also feel like a tard when im driving a super car... How do I know this? https://www.vulcanmotorclub.com/

A little Mule
It’s a keeper for sure, I had about 40 cars over years unfortunately I only kept two, a 1984 300D and a my dog mobile a 99 300D, (I used to commute 100+ miles per day and the 84 is just part of me now), for my Sunday drives I had a 63 vette (yes split window), 69 camaro, 57 Chevy just to name a few, sold then all at one time or another. I enjoy driving the C63 so I either keep it as a garage queen or pass it alone to the future grand kids (I got my eye on a 2011 E550 cabriole) we will see.
