    All the black trim gives a nice edginess to the look of that F12. The carbon shields like the white California has would be the cherry on top...
    Thanks for a peek at these unique style automobiles.

    Thank you sir.

    I grew up poor and never had a family car till I was in my teens.

    I eventually made some money and decided I should do something for myself so I got a few cars.....

    I work in a high profile business so the cars are simply marketing tools. That's at least what I tell my accountant! ;)

    I have read his posts and he seems like a really good guy, I am not normally crazy about white interiors, but I have to say his cars make it work out.

    Cool collection! What does the LS on the Mclaren stand for? And that white FF by the Jet looks very nice. Which wheels are those?

    The LS McLaren is a MSO 1 of 1 that I specced out.

    Forgiato wheels.

    excellent collection you got there. but i think it would be worthwhile to try the cars side by side, more particularly the F12 v. aventador and the MP4.

    i had a very experienced car enthusiast friend that swore the 458 is so fast. oh was he in for a surprise when he actually gauged it with the SLS and Mp4 side by side. the sensation of speed in the ferrari is the best of any car, hands down.

    as to the F12 destroying the SLS and 458, that is given and it wouldn't even be close. but against an updated MP4 or Aventador, i reckon it would be neck and neck -no destruction.

    still, it would truly be great to see the 3 cars in action and how fortunate for you to have all three and have the capability to make it a reality using customer cars. godbless and congratulations on your success.

    The Chrysler 300 is a low profile car I use for work. Prior to owning that one I drove a 2001 Lincoln Town Car for 10-years, where at everyone made fun of me.

    Obviously I am not trying to impress anyone.

    The MP4 is super fast.

    I had mine tuned and the race cats put on so it is blistering fast.

    I did the same to the Aventador, where at if it had a half decent transmission it would be the fastest.

    When I got the F12 the MP4 was faster, so I was not happy.

    I called Ferrari and they sent me some stuff which we bolted on to the car. I estimate it now has over 800 HP and nothing I have can match it.

    However the MP4 is an insane vehicle no matter how you slice it.

    Truthfully the Aventador looks the best but overall it is garbage. Same goes for the Bugatti.

    Yes, when the 1000 pound feet of torque kick in, it is like nothing else ever built. But besides that the interior, driving feel, exhaust tone, handling etc. is garbage.

    Plus we have a inside joke about it that is kind of funny.

    "What is the fastest way to lose $1 million dollars?"

    Answer: Buy a Bugatti and then try to sell it the next day!

    i'm sure a lot of people here would be curious as to what stuff ferrari would send you to bolt on the car and make it 800hp. wow! the car just came out and now they have updates already . this is fantastic news!

    Also, thats one of the funniest comments I read for a long time!! Next time my ferrari is slow I'll try to give LdM a call and see if he can help out.

    Thanks for sharing your insights!

    The white 599 has a dark (black?) section in the roof. Is this an Aperta?

    I am Sorry, but this is very unlikely ("I called Ferrari and they sent me some stuff which we bolted on to the car")
