    The most important thing is that you're happy with it !

    I eventually settled on a 575m though people I respect rate the 550 extremely highly - horses for courses - I'm sure people keeping a 360/430/458/599/308gt4/b/s etc will say the same thing.

    So many cars, such little time to experience them hehe.....

    BART! Where have you been? Long time no post! You must be over 100K miles long ago? Pictures!

    For newbs: Bart posted 50K miles YEARS ago, when the rest of us were in awe of 50 mile drives, and worried about reaching the dreaded 5K miles, or god forbid, 10K…….

    No...I don't think so. Closest at the moment maybe be the maserati gran tourismo.

    550/575 is perhaps the best car Ferrari has ever produced. The next closest would be the 328.

    I agree.. For sure there are cars faster and more high tech, but I really enjoy the 550 A LOT. It is superfast and it has no gadgets. It is just beautiful, modern enough for me, has great sound, and is very elegant. It is very economical to use too. :-D
