    Just want to see what the general preference is. No limited edition models included (Vetro/GTO/F40/GTC/Fiorano/Challenge/CS/Scud/16M/Speciale) as they're a different class, just the standard v8 cars. If you own one, post in comments what you voted and what you own so we can see the confirmation bias (or lack thereof) :). If there's a particular color/option you prefer, post those as well. I'll lump the 2x8 brethren in with their 3x8, but post in the comments if that's your preference. If you can't decide, there's that option as well.

    I'm obviously biased as I own a 355, but then again I bought the 355 because that's what I preferred...

    you dont list the good stuff !!
    you also did not include the mondial
    ok i understand.

    so my vote will be the 360 spider.

    you should have a counter poll- the least favorite 8 cyl.......

    The latest greatest should win.

    Lets pretend we are 50 years down the road.
    In that case the glass 308 gets my vote.

    My favorite V8 Ferrari is the F40. (But that is considered a special class of car in this thread).

    Of the more standard Ferraris (odd putting those words together in a sentence), I like the 328.

    Yes, my mistake to leave out the mondial and the California. Can a mod add those?

    Added, but the only way was to tack them on to the end.

    I owned a 360 Spider and I still voted for the F355, still my favorite Ferrari outside the special limited run cars.

    Can you also add the next model (whatever that may be) as that would have been Enzo's choice...

    My favorite Ferrari street car V8 is the 355. Actually it is my favorite street car motor ever. But it sounds like you mean the whole package. Tough call between the 458 and the 308. Since I have a 308 GTS I'm going to push that button.

    My favorite Ferrari of all time as far as looks are concerned is the 360 Modena coupe. The lines on that car are just so effortless, rounded yet muscular...if that makes any sense. Beautiful car all around. Favorite Ferrari performance wise and overall 'thrill' factor, id imagine would be the 458.

    Best looking - 308GTS.
    Best package - 430 (looks, performance, relative value) - so voted for that

    I have a 308GTS and 360 Spider - I see the 308 as a keeper (had her 11 years already) but may eventually replace the 360 with a 430 when finances allow.

    I've had to go with "Can't decide" because I could make My mind up between the 308 and 328 (if only they'd been clumped together then it would have been so much simpler!).

    There are aspects of both cars that I absolutely love and so I simply couldn't choose between them!

    It was like being asked: "If they were both 30 years old and you could only choose one, who would you rather sleep with?: Jennifer Aniston or Christie Brinkley?"

    It's a question I simply cannot answer! (Which I'm sure will come as a disappointment to both girls! :) ).

    Was hoping there would be just a 308GTB category as I'm not really a huge fan of the GTS, I like it in terms of looks more than anything since the 355 but the 308GTB has the lines over the GTS IMO. In terms of looks, for me it's the 308GTB and 355GTB. Everything else after the 355 is too wind-tunnely for my taste. Eric Clapton's 458 is a piece to behold for certain though, gorgeous.

    ... that voted for the California. It is the car out of the V8s that I would want.

    I could have said 328 for my admiration of that car.

    Or I could have voted for the 355, which I still find beautiful.

    But I chose the car that I was initially disappointed with (styling).


    Well, your votes are cast well also.

    I have a 355 and voted for it. The 308/328 would be second. I think it's a better looking car but I wanted something a little more modern.

    I voted 328.

    Had to go with the one I know.

    I had thought about separating them but there are already a ton of categories and it'd make it tough to total up. The Berlinetta vs. Targa vs. Spider choice might be a good idea for another thread, though. I'm a B guy myself.

    I realise the 348 has a very specific niche of fans, but I'm amazed the vote for the GT4 is so low. :confused:

    All the best,
    Andrew.
