    The V12 in the FF is really something. I've been coaxing various sounds out of it and have compiled the following list. So switch the manettino into sport mode and wind the window down:
    - drive in 1st gear through a tunnel at 7-8K rpm. The reverb off the walls is deafening and sounds like an F1 racer.
    - accelerate from a slow speed in second gear. You get a lovely bass boom
    - drive in as high a gear as allowable at the current speed. The rpm should be sub 2K. Drop the gear and hit the accelerator at the same time. Really big boom from the back. Works great in tunnels as well.
    - pull both paddles to switch to neutral whilst in motion and mash the gas pedal

    I like your ideas.... any chance of your recording the "Symphony for a V12." It could be an instant classic. :)

    There is nothing like a Ferrari V12.

    i like all those 'songs' and have listened to them many, many times

    even more robust in my F12 than in my FF! although the 599 arguably sounds the best

    lets hope they never stop making v12's!!!

    Best sound from any V12 I've owned was a factory sports exhaust equipped 612.

    It was silly loud and ballsy.

    My Capristo sports exhaust with X-pipe equipped FF sounds pretty amazing! :)

    I'm madly in love with the song my GTO sings ...

    The 612 OTO is addicting as well ;)
