    YES! I think the current Pista is the most exciting yet, but looking forward to the 812 Spider.
    To clarify, these are ones I have owned, not just driven.

    Has anyone else been thrown out of a Ferrari dealer because you showed up with a bone stock white Corolla DX manual ?

    Just a browser and I am browsing.

    How much for the 360 ?
    "We have to be careful who we sell the car to. It comes with $75,000 in the trunk."

    In reality I am just a bottom feeder and never had interest in 'any' new exotic car. Can't afford 'any' new exotic :D. Let me consider the cast-off and unwanted exotic second hand crap.





    The L dealer is awesome !!!!!!!!

    There were many things wrong with it.
    Clutch way out of adjustment.
    Around a quarter turn of play in the steering wheel.
    Shifting was not right - possible linkage adjustment.
    A number of minor things did not work.
    Needed a tune-up. BADLY!
    I know the 365 GTC is a great car but that particular example was awful.
    Keep in mind that I drove it around 25 years ago.

    Cassidy
    Driven On track:
    348, 355, 360, 550, 575, 599, Testarossa, 430, 430 Scud, 458, FF, California, Cali T,

    Instructed on track: (all of the above plus) 488, F12, Superfast (lived up to its name, first lap we were north of 170 on the back straight at VIR), handful of other delightful Maranello classics that defy my memory at the moment.

    Oddly the VERY FIRST Ferrari I EVER operated on a public road was my own Testarossa. I've since helped a friend and sorted his 308 QV on the roads as well.

    I've worked for local Ferrari and Aston dealers as a hired driver, hence the pretty unique experience. I've had the pleasure of operating some very special equipment at a very high level of performance. My all time favorite experience? The FF at Lime Rock, T5 'the uphill'. That big 12 attacks the earth as the four wheel power delivers a clawing, snarling connection to the earth. That visceral feeling is truly unmatched. It isn't the light, agile and quick handling of the 458, nor the cold, militant delivery of power like the Superfast but it has a unique character that speaks to me. One day we will have one as a road car, and I promise that I will return it to that magical mile in the mountains.

    My list is really short and almost embarrassing to post after some of yours.

    308 GTS (mine for about 12 years)
    328 GTS
    430 F1
    512 TR
    575M

    I've ridden in a few others and there might have been one or two others I'm not remembering.
