    My poor 750 has been languishing on the lift. Mainly due to the weather but also because the 296 is much more fun overall.

    im considering replacing the 750 with the 12cilindri Spyder however I’m not sold on it yet. But it will be my first built to spec Ferrari

    Oh, sorry to hear 750s is a great car. Maybe it being somewhat refined makes it too similar to the 296? I have been driving my mp4-12c spider with the 296 gtb back to back lately and thoroughly enjoying both. One is just so raw and old school and not to mention less than half the price.

    Congrats! A suggestion: if you decide to go ahead with the 12 Cilindri, do the configuration at the Atelier in NYC. It just adds to the experience.

    the 750 is refined but it’s not the biggest reason why it’s not being driven the 296 is truly just more fun all around.

    I’m going tomorrow to test drive a few cars so I’ll bring this up if I pull the trigger!
