Favorite v8 Ferrari

The one that wins is the one I'm driving. If I drove a different one it would win. When the drive is fun, the top is down, and the family is smiling, it wins.

The cure for wanting a new car is driving the one you have to its fullest use.
(works for cars, bikes, women, etc).

 

I agree, voted 308. 328 is very close second. Fun to drive, well built, simple, old school driving experience, targa top.

F430/Scud/Spider is probably the best/safest/fastest, nice step up from the 360 Modena/CS/Spider but too large -- never warmed up to the 360/F430 styling. I'd put it second on your list. I would own an F430 coupe, but have a 308 poster on the wall above it.

355 is beautiful but poorly built and the cheap interior hurts it, IMHO. It's my favorite for someone else to own.

I don't own any of these right now so no favoritism here.

 

I have to say as i was stranded yesterday when my company car broke down- 2013 Ford - i was on a conf. call looking at the traffic go by in Atlanta - and a rosso rubino 355 came by... looks like an exotic car, sounds like an exotic car... so pretty.. .its my favorite for someone else to own...

458 is also pretty... the thing with the whole 360 - 430 series to me at least is they are great cars to drive but not so good looking on the outside... they are pretty big, and just dont have the exotic presance that he older cars have... 360-430- 458 sound great.....

 

It's a hard poll since it covers many years and models. I voted "Enzo" but my favorites are 355, 458 and Enzo. Ops, I though the Enzo was 12 cylinders and when I saw the poll I second guessed. I just looked and it is 12....

 

Not including the f40, the 360 though the 355 and 430 are right there as well. Each has something incredible about them.

 

...perfect.

 

I love the F355 best!

 

Hard to top the 458

 

Original examples or nothing.

 

The 328 was my first. It came with a Borla exhaust and was absolutely thrilling to drive. No power steering and very raw, with an incredible sound. Sort of a poor-man's F40. I could feel every undulation on the road, like running in barefoot minimalist shoes.

The 360 is the most beautiful V8 car they ever produced, imo.

The California has a Maserati sourced engine with wet sump - please....

Overall, I believe the F430 is the best. Not as pretty as the 360 and too-many F1 Trans vs Manual, but fantastic performance and a great engine.
