    Incredible. That thing is a dream machine. Pretty wild to see a stock car spit 2 foot flames out the back!

    Of course, in deference and fairness to several on the board that seem to "know" without ownership or experience: "its really only a slightly lighter 599 with a bit more hp and its not worthy of the name, instead it should have been called a 599 Scud"....

    Right :), and once again I submit, I'm really Santa Claus and live in the North Pole...

    Very cool. The sound of the GTO is nothing short of amazing. Such a stunning machine.

    However, I've never seen other 599 GTOs emitting such flames. Did the owner modify the exhaust set-up?

    I haven't seen another video of the 599 GTO in these lighting conditions, maybe that is the cause

    I seriously doubt anyone would even consider touching GTO's exhaust, if anyone does he is insane and should be put out of his misery

    To my knowledge this is the only stock Ferrari I've seen that commonly throws flames. Any other models in stock form?

    That just sounded amazing! :eek:

    Rob, what about the F50, I've seen a few videos of that with flames out the exhaust. Not as much as the GTO though.

    Rob, Believe it or not my carb 308 spits flames regularly . It's notorious in the Mid-Atlantic thread.

    Yes Sir ... and my wife never lies when it comes to cars :)

    I really enjoyed watching that video. People will start to believe more and more what I wrote in my thread about my car. Its simply is an amazing piece of engineering.

    Who will doubt about what you said in your thread... Not me at least. I really appreciated to read your report "From HGTE to GTO"

    Maybe You'll continue with further impressions when you'll know the car better.

    Dear all,
    forgive my ignorance but...
    how these flames are practically generated?
    And why we can see them in the GTO while I never saw them in the GTB?
    It's a matter of power or is the type of exaust?
    Thanks
    Andrea
