    Got a ride and then got to drive a 599 this week. Friend of mine got one. WOW TONS of torque. Sounds amazing.

    I agree. I like the older stuff, but wow what a beast. Plus was surprised at how drivable it was in general. Felt more like my Mercedes then my own (older) Ferrari...until you nailed it. Then a beast was unleashed. FUN!

    I like that Islero you have. Or had. Please tell me you didn't get rid of it.

    I have purposefully stayed away from many things in this world for fear that I will find them so amazing that I'll become obsessed. The 599 is one of those things.

    My favorite of the modern Ferrari's.
    The only only other place that I visit on FChat.
    Someday I hope to have one.

    For me my ultimate 'normal' Ferrari would be an original 308 with a 355 engine on tubi pipes!
    Really pretty car but with roadcar F1 soundtrack. That or a 288GTO which I love the look of.........Actually I'll just take a 288GTO on megaphones!! ;-)

    Where's the Like button. Actually, I'd go 575M. Our friend and brother George has a perfect example sitting right next to his perfect Mondial.

    I like to much guys :) but in general I like the old stuff as well! Ferrari bb512, first generation Testarossa, 250GTO, however my ultimate would be a Ferrari 225 S Tuboscocca

    599 in red is for me a no go. Wrap it in yellow then I am sold. I like the 456 as well, but yet again in yellow only and then only the 2000 model and onwards, because of the old stylish grill. However I find it a pity that the newer one doesn't have the air intakes on the hood anymore. I think that will be my second F :D
