Special car. GLWS.

Well is the other one was $620,000 then why not an even Mil?

 

Yes, very special. Of course 'special' also means priced out of this world.

 

And where are the nuts who used to rail on about how the manual transmission was a bad fit for the 599......LOL

 

I guess we'll find out if the Amelia Island price was an anomaly! Three pedal cars are the bomb!!!!!!

 

No disrespect meant but I can't help but believe that was just one of those deals not to be repeated soon.

 

We'll after seeing the car....we'll see.

 

It's not black on black, I wouldnt pay the same.

Red on black is still awesome though, so not the same but close.

 

That interior looks so "ho hum" after the San Antonio car...which was an F1 gearbox.

GLWS!!!

 

Let's get a bet going!

I say 700 without fees.

 

I vote 800.

Bet if it had a Beige interior it would go for closer to $1 million.

 

Here's my conundrum:
I would want a 6 speed car to drive, however the rarity coupled with the price puts this more into the collector car category. I hope the person who gets it drives the hell out of it, price be damned.

 

Two-seater Ferrari GT, Enzo motor upfront (where Enzo and God intended), with the glorious Ferrari gate ... in fact, the last of that Ferrari gate ... sounds pretty valuable to me!

 

Very sweet car.

 

You can never pay too much, only too early....

 

Bellissimo! Good luck, I can't wait to see the result!

 

Agree. I'd wager phone "bidder" >$500k with reserve not met.

 

I'll take the flip on <500k. Will be very surprised if it pushes past 500.

 

The annoying variable to take into consideration is that it isn't stateside. What does it cost to import to USA?

 

If over 600K , I rather look for a GTO even with higher price .. regardless I am a big fan of 3 pedals .

 

I just drove my 3 pedal 599 on a rally with a ton of other exotic cars. It was pure heaven and a beautiful day! I'm not sure i would enjoy a GTO as much...

 

I drove a 3 -pedals 430 and F1 430 on the track; manual has more fun and F1 was faster. After many times on track with manual and F1 ; I tend to like F1 much better especially in Ferrari; I found it was more fun than 3 pedals especially in a tight track. It is just my personal feeling. Note; I have a CASC racing license A and was racing few times a year; I am racing in a Porsche 944 Turbo regardless I am slow...

 

Understanding that a paddle shift on a tight track is more fun than the 3 pedal but how often does the average Ferrari owner drive on a track?

 

Prior to my experience with Ferrari F1 transmissions, I would have considered myself a diehard 6-speed manual fan. Last year, I sold my 6-speed manual F430 and kept my F1 F430 because, when being honest with myself, I had more fun in practically all situations in the F1 car. That, and the fact that manual F430 pricing is currently bubblicious.
