    Hello all, I'm a neophyte and want to purchase my first Ferrari... There are so many unloved supercars on the Ethernet where and how would I start.

    Your question suggests you may be in a bar on a Friday afternoon but your use of neophyte suggests you may not be so here goes !

    There's about 50 000 Ferraris in the USA and most of them are not the headliners beyond your budget - they cover maybe fifty years which is a whole bunch of different styles and desireability & useability so do some homework: google some photos & spend some time looking at the different sections here - decide what really floats your boat and then just go buy one like with any other car

    Since you plan to rally track, the FF and Lusso AWD are your only options.

    I’ll take your budget as $300MM since you didn’t specify.

    Personally, a stout F50 is what you want. Then use the remainder on TSLA

    Don't forget this gem as well.

    I don't know about the 360, but keep in mind the 308 required extensive conversion to be up to snuff for rallycross. I still stand by my contention that the AWD FF would be the best candidate out the box.

    It's all in good fun, something tells me this will probably be the last we hear from 'Ferrair' newbie and his 'Ethernet' observations anyways...

    I personally find it dreadful to do that to an F40.
