    I would rather have an Enzo than a 360CS, but would rather have a 360CS than any other V12 Ferrari.

    So I'll have to go for the V12, preferably mid mounted.

    Don't forget you can stick some nice ferrari car scent in,obviously this has been decided to reduce or even possibly eradicate the pungent smell of decomposing geriatric V12 drivers such as myself,or maybe just to hide the fact that the aforementioned incontinence bag has in fact leaked all over the leather.Still it leaves a nice shine.Rumour has it that as the V8 youngsters are still experimenting with the meaning of life any fluid leaks would appear to be of a substantially different organic matter! Mere Memories of course for my good self!!

    Would you mean sticky organic matter?
    The V8 corners well I think it's fair to say the car is very sticky through the corners

    Sticky=fun oh yes

    The mere fact that any V8 driver that can achieve the simultaneous actions of cornering and depositing additional "sticky" matter to assist in cornering can only be described as a magnificent acheivement. However I would be surprised if the two events could be readily carried out without the use of an automatic gearbox,and then surely this would then lead to howls of derision and instantaneous relegation to the realms of "old timers". It would then be inevitable that they would have to sell the V8 in a pique of shame and purchase a V12. In light of this I propose to bus in a fleet of nubile wenches to all V8 drivers, and then watch the voting go through the roof,once the incriminating evidence is produced.

    cars get you from A to B. Supercars are all about stirring the emotions, a sense of "I have arrived!" Nothing does it better than a V12. Its not about logic - its about PASSION

    Do I detect a split in the 12 cylinder faction? - V12 vs Flat twelve. That leaves the united democratic of the V8 as clearly the only group suitable to lead, as they usually do.

    Dear Comrade UFO M8,

    Essentially you are stating that V8's are not proper 'Supercars'. And they aren't of course. For proper 'Supercars' have twelve cylinders. All this notwithstanding, when one opens the engine cover on a V8 one is hard pressed to establish quite where the engine is - when found, it appears rather like a haemorrhoid. A proper Ferrari engine looks like the 'Crown Jewels'.

    With kind regards,
