    This 599 GTO was in Montreal during the F1 race this past weekend. I just happened to stop by the Ferrari dealer when it was being started up and driven off. Enjoy!!

    Is it the quality of the video or is the sound of the car not intimidating...very "light" not typical v12? I thought the description was that it was a deep v12 at low revs and an f1 shreek at high. Any thoughts?

    The GTO sound is so different from the GTB and HGTE. My HGTE is deep at low revs especially with the valves open. The GTO doesn't have this but boy, once those valves open all hell brakes loose :eek:

    There is a loud background noise in the video so you can't really go by what you hear. At high revs the GTO "screams" more than the GTB and HGTE.

    Will the GTO arrive before your 458 does?
