    Nice combo.

    However, I feel the 612 and 430 are the ideal combination; since they have totally different missions & driving characteristics. Basically a front-engined V12 2+2 GT car and a mid-engined V8 2-person Sports Car.

    There appears to be some overlap between the 612 and QP.

    Perhaps someone can enlighten us on what attributes you like about having both of these cars.

    Very nice.

    As much as I'm embarrassed to admit, I am also considering a Porsche GT-3 or Cayman S to go with the 612 at some point. The Porsche would have to have a manual transmission, of course.

    Great match up!

    Gives you a good idea how big the 612 is sitting next to that 993. Perhaps you could post another picture from the side.

    Some quality pairings out there. I've yet to see a 612 in the wild. It does look substantial next to the Porsche. And I'm certain that Porsche would look like a behemoth next to its predecessors... sports / gt cars are getting huge.

    As only a handful of 612s came to Canada in the entire production run (I have been told 30-45), I had never seen one 'live' , and purchased mine in Washington, sight unseen.

    So many threads spoke of the 612 as not very pretty, even 'ugly'. I hve now had my grigio silverstone 612, with Daytona seats, rossa corsa interior, with carbon fibre accents, carbon ceramic brakes, rear parking sensors, red tach, scuderia shields, upgraded stereo, power seats, heated seats, challenge wheels....blah blah blah for 3 months...

    i have driven the car 3,000 miles , more than any other Ferrari I own, with zero attention from the Police (gotta love not being red for a change!). I have had more compliments than any other Ferrari I own...even the 458, F40, f50, Dino, and the car is beautiful to say the least. With its stunning long bonnet, lovely sculpted sides....it has been great.

    Not to mention my 7 and 10 year old can come along anytime, it is my daily driver....and the best part...only $100,000 with 10,000 miles when it was $300k++ new!!

    People are missing out. best family car ever...bargain priced! (haha ...like ALL fcars...until you need a repair!!!!)

    How about some pictures, Carlo? I agree. I don't understand the suggestion of the car being ugly. It is a magnificent looking unique vehicle. What year is yours? At that price and mileage 2006-2007?
