    Can the group post photos of your 550 or 575 next to your old or new Ferrari v8 model as a stablemate.

    Either a garage photo or one out at a show or in your drive? I’d like to see the combos.

    Thanks.

    Wonderful combination. I still really like the lines of the 360 Spider.

    A 550 and Challenge Stradale would be great. 2 great hits from Ferrari from that era.

    Thanks.

    Scud - go kart handling, lightening fast shifts, and the sound when all the shift lights on the wheel come on will raise the hair on the back of my neck. A very focused and intense driving experience.

    575M - Can serve well as a more relaxed cruiser, but it also shrinks around you on a sporting drive. Gated shifter adds layers of character to the experience for me. V12 with so much available torque makes it fun to drive even at moderate speeds.

    I think they are very different so that's why I picked them ;-)

    I have an F1 575M that I wish was a 3-pedal car. I had a550previously. The 575M is the last beautiful Ferrari 12 IMHO, and the finest Ferrari I have ever owned. To bad my health is making me sell all my toys.

    Thanks Bas. Yep, I would not mind to add a CS to my stable. But after years of ownership I am still very happy with the 360 Spider. The car still contents all my needs for a spirited drive on public roads, very raw, responsive and great sounding. Quite different from the 550 which shows other merits.

    The 360 being my first Ferrari, I expected a 360 with a V12 when I bought my 550. That said, the first driving experience with the Maranello did not really match my expectations, the tame sound being the main point of criticism. But I quickly fell in love with the 550 due to the GT characteristics you mentioned. And a nice Tubi helped to remedy the sound issue.
