    Ok, so as a dealer I dont often get to truly act like a consumer. But the fact is that I/We (me nor my family) grew up in the car business. We just love cars so it is a lot of fun building a car for ourselves.

    Just specced out the GTO. I love it but perhaps i am jaded. I t will look great next to the supercars. Anwyay, I would love to hear from the peanut gallery.

    So what do you think? want more screenshots? These come from the new Ferrari configurator.

    Thanks. I originally put a two tone inteiror but i think it was too much and ended up with Daytona Seats with Red stripes.

    What do you think?

    TDF with Giallo livery works best....

    What the hell am I saying?

    TDF ALWAYS works best!

    Garrett. Absolutely nasty--and very cool to boot! Accept my congrat on trying on the consumer shoes...usually jaded or not, in this case, trust you'll not be disappointed :)

    Looking forward to your addition to Scuderia GTO...

    Enjoy.

    Doesn't a car similar to that already exist? Was thinking it was in Texas or something?



    Help me out F-chatters.

    Well he paint is a standard option and of course I have no way of knowing of all other cars built but a little disappointing!!!! Nonetheless the difference (and the devil) is in the details.

    I hope the little Extacomponario changes unmade make it all that much better. For that you will have to wait and see the real thing.

    Isn't it too late to spec a gto or is it already ordered and this is the final spec?

    All cars were allocated months and months ago. There are no new cars. This is final spec. It is a gift from Ferrari. It will be one o fhte last cars built. The last car is very valuable and going to a great FXX driver.

    when is the last GTO expected to roll off the line? I know friends (& Fchatters) is status 20 at the moment, & he's been told not to expect delivery until September due to the factory summer shut down.

    Why is the 599 GTO in this section and not the Supercar section, it beats all the Supercars around Fiorano test track

    I guess I could have posted it there. But it is a 599 and yet it pefroms like a supercar. Feel free to repost it of you would like.

    Good call

    The shield is already a buzz kill on the busy 599 fender but a rather pronounced visual interruption on this one...

    I agree, if it has to be on there, do the carbon!

    On Top Gear the 458 beat the 599 GTO around their track and they pointed out the 458 costs half as much.

    However, I believe the GTO is a much better looking car. Performance is not EVERYTHING to some of us. :cool:
