    This car is such an amazing piece of art....i'm amazed why some collectors invest millions in other Ferraris and pass the Daytona...at the way many of the 50s and 60s cars are going, they are becoming almost inaccessible except for the ultra-rich....the Daytona, although expensive (only in my dreams could i ever afford one) it's still far from those obscene figures, and with the older cars geting more and more expensive, i'm pretty sure he will only go up in value, and in a big way. To me if i had the money it would be the perfect buy, first because it´s one of the most beautiful cars ever built and one of the most iconic Ferraris, secondly because i believe it will prove to be an excelent investment if i would ever needed to sell it, especialy the coupe who probably costs half the price of the spyder and in my opinoon is more beautifull.

    Your're completely right, but keep it quiet I don't want them going up in value any more, otherwise my insurance company will start restricting even more how much I can actually use mine. ;)

    I had the chance to buy one and I didn't. It was a mistake clearly and I wish I had because I appreciate it for all the reasons you state above. What stopped me pulling the trigger is that it wasn't that fun to drive quite honestly and the comically heavy steering does make you apprehensive about using it in any real world about town situation (which I accept is missing the point), but I do like to drive my cars all the time and that includes in real world situations. I am not disparaging the car in any way because I love it too. Just trying to give you the perspective from someone who passed on the car.

    I've heard several people complaining about the steering, and also many that opted to install direct assistance to the steering (not sure if this is the correct term in english). Although i believe in maintaining originality as much as possible, i agree that changing certain things that can help you use and enjoy the car are perfectly acceptable....anyway, you already have many wonderfull cars to choose from ;)

    This is one from a Forza photoshoot I did a few years back. They did a comparison between a Daytona and a 365 C4. It was a bunch of fun. Love second gear in a Daytona that is being driven well.

    I enjoy the continuing comments about the heavy steering on the Daytona. I suspect many comments come from those whose time behind the wheel is limited. Once you figure out the car, the steering becomes a moot point except when parallel parking, which is a struggle since it is hard to steer while twisted in the seat looking out the back window.The trade-off is that it tracks clean and straight on the road. I have several wonderful cars available to drive. I love driving the Fiat, lots of fun, plenty of power, and you can make lots of noise and enjoy a winding road without going too fast. The 275 is great. The 350 GT is a delight. The Ghibli has its charms.
    BUT, every time I drive the Daytona, it is clear to me that THIS IS THE ONE! Put it into third gear, give it three quarters throttle until it clears its throat, then nail it until it hits 120MPH. It is simply intoxicating to wind it to 7000RPM in fourth, see the speedometer touch 150 MPH, then thump it into fifth and know there is another 20MPH on tap. The AC is good enough most days. I love the way it looks. Too me it is the definition of "iconic car".
    Next week i will drive to Portland, drive the rally, leave it in Seattle until September, then drive it to Montana, do the GTTS rally, and drive it back to SD. This car loves to run, and I love to drive.
    When you get a chance to put some miles on one, take it!Malcolm
