    New subscriber, thought I'd post a thread to see what kind of response I'd get to this question:

    What makes a Ferrari a Ferrari in your mind?

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts....


    In My Mind a Ferrari is a Ferrari from its conception and racing History, the Hand Sculpted body of Yesteryear and the beautiful Sound of the 12 Cylinder engine moving the Aluminum body and Tube chassis....

    In my humble opinion, it's a confluence of factors that all come together. Heritage, beauty, F1 racing, performance, cache, exclusivity, sound, the driving feel, community, and current relevance.

    I know of no other car manufacturer that can tick off all these boxes as strongly as Ferrari. I think some come close, and I'm sure many will no doubt disagree with me.

    The history. The V12.

    The car you could drive to the track, destroy everything else, and then drive it home.

    The beautiful road car that cloaks a ferocious race car, ready to take on anything.

    It's..
    The history, the Italian marque, the smooth curves, the awakening sound at start up, the intoxicating sound in motion, the smell of the leather, the smell of the exhaust, the connection, the passion, the Prancing Horse, and of course..what an engine!
