FWIW - I use my 575 f1 as a daily driver and I love it more every day. It is the best combination of driveable/looks/performance I've found yet. I like the "stealth" factor as well -- People look at the car, then do a double-take, they seem to like it, then they see it is a an F-car and smile. At the same time, it really can hustle. I find it to be shockingly fast when driven properly. It is a homerun by Ferrari. Truly. | ||

I know what you mean David about instantaneous power! Last sunday night I was cruising home on I-5 at a comfortable 70mph in 6th gear and this guy/gal (couldn't see because his windows were blacked out completely) in a BMW 323 tricked out rice rocket want-to-be kept coming up beside me and dropping back then pulling ahead again! Finally I got tired of him, about 1/2 mile from my designated exit, and dropped her down to 4th and punched it at the same time..............Left him in the dust.........he tried to follow but there was no way in hell he was going to match my screaming 12!!! 515 horses at will with no lag.......I love it! | ||

Not withstanding great looks, the minute you hit the go pedal with the 575, it screams like my ZO6 with the touring capacity of a Rolls Royce. I was impressed with my test drive of a silver 575 at Shelton last fall. I told my salesman I loved the performance of my 360 and he said I would be impressed with the 575. It was a great drive. Nothing can replace 12 cylinders! | ||

after you have the most expensive car or one of, your desires change, you begin to look for special unique cars that can only be found in one place, your place. how many red 360's are there??? but how many factory blue 308gt4's?? wich is worth more?? | ||

Why is it that the more I learn about f cars and the more I am around them the more expensive my taste gets? Used to a 308 was pure heaven...they still are. But now that I know guys with them I am used to them. So then the 328, 348, 355, TR etc. Well now I am starting to like the 360's which I never did. I began to like the 550's then the 575 came out and I love that thing. How is it that I was floored by a $35K car, but now I want a $250K car? |
