    The Enzo was a bit muffled (still very loud), but the LaFerrari is crazy loud as it is. Anyway, to replace the hydroformed exhaust might mean to ruin engine tuning.

    i think it is only 20 bucks per day. seems to be worth it. just not sure if the car will be there every day.

    Just watched all the main reviews. The car sounds incredible, looks amazing and really its obviously something quite special. The V12 makes it for me but it also wears a badge none of them do, the Ferrari badge and that badge hold over 60 years of history, the glorious iconic cars, the legend of Enzo Ferrari.

    Its a car to me that's more than a sum of its parts, its more than the numbers.

    That's not a US spec customer car, it's not a delivery. It's just a 'show car'.

    Frequently, after market exhausts have an adverse effect on performance. The exhaust systems of these cars are extremely compex.

    Same as you for Ferrari. Have to agree - LAF is a great car!!! But to be fair, lets wait for comparison tests, otherwise all that we discuss is non-objective;)

    Just saw the EVO review.

    What a car. Definitely the winner for me of the 4 (including the Huayra).

    The noise is fantastic, looks like you're still involved in the process of driving (especially with CT off), it looks great (much more aggressive than the 918, which is the prettiest but my least favorite). Yes please. Give me one...

    The Mclaren might be (probably) faster than any of them on the track, but I don't care. The LaF, despite it's stupid name (I call it La Ef or F70 mostly), hits me on the same spot the Enzo did when it came out. Emotion. And that...in the end, for me is what matters most with a car. If you connect with it and you lust after it, it's a winner. The LaF does, the others not so much.


    Can't wait for the Chris Harris review!!

    Give it to any one that knows what they're doing (for instance Primary Design in the UK, who make Mclaren's Formula 1 exhausts) and a good mapper and it'll be fine.

    By your logic, Ford has more prestige than Ferrari. With over 100 yrs of history and beating Ferrari at LeMans, the greatest race in the world. Ferrari hasn't won it since Ford beat them. And Ford has some iconic cars itself......

    And the fact that he currently owns two Ferrari's, which would have been three if he had not sold his 599 might have helped

    Maybe he meant 60 years of F1 history.

    I could really care less. I thought his statement was a little biased. thought I'd add that when Ford did decide to compete, they dominated them in the race that Enzo wanted to win the most. He is right though, Ferrari us a great brand.

    To me there is no marque able to compete in any way with Ferrari. To have competed at the highest level in F1 over such a long period of time and with the back catalogue of road car masterpieces produced.

    True I'm sure that doesn't hurt his chances. He's made some amazing videos in the past few years starting some classic and current Ferrari models that he gave glowing reviews of.
