    Do you like the F1? I know you have preferred the standard 6spd in your previous cars. Has the F1 won you over?

    I love the daytona seats! I love the nostalgia they bring to a big front engine 12 cylinder!

    Beautiful, and congrats!
    The 550/575M Maranello is one of the best looking Ferraris ever IMO.

    Yes I have always been a gear shirt guy, but I must admit that in this car I do like the F1. It was so much power that the F1 works so much better than it did in the 360. I am planning to pick up another covertable in the spring and whatever it turns out to be, it will be a gear shift. As far as the 575, it was a great exhaust on I was surprised how nice it sounds. I have always changed exhausts but this time I'm leaving it as is. The most amazing thing I've found so far is the power delivery, it is so smooth and it seems to be very strong right through. I'm not sure how much the of a difference the handling package makes (since I never drove one without it) but the car feels much smaller than it really is. It handles much better than I thought it would, much closer to the 360 than I thought it would be. I know this might sound crazy but I love the sound of the engine when it first starts up.

    Thanks for the complements, but I must put credit where it is due, I did not spec this car, the man who did had very good taste, he put both the 19" wheels and the Fiorano handling package on the car, not to mention the high pwered stereo, shields, daytona seats, upolostered rear shelf, spare tire, and some really nice interior stiching.

    I have to say that this is the best all around automobile I have ever driven

    Other than the obvious Rosso Corsa, I think your combination is the aesthetic high-point of the Maranello range.
    Your last comment is probably the most telling I've heard. Would you care to share a few comparisons....w/ Porsche, Lambo, MB?

    Many thanks,


    Cavallini

    Well over the past five years I have owned over 60 different cars usually 4 to 7 at a time, and I have had the chance to have some serious seat time in many others. It is very hard to find one car that is good at everything, but I think the 575 comes as close to being that car as anything made today. I'm sure that not everyone would agree with me but in my opinion it does everything well and though it might not be as sharp a handler as a 360 it is certainly much closer than I thought it would be. There ar not many cars that can cruise like a luxury car and still handle the curves.

    Congratulations, this is really a beautiful car. Have a good time with this beauty!
    Are you sure that the stock exhaust is mounted? I have the stock exhaust at my 575 and I'm not satisfied with the sound.

    Morrie, that car is exciting even from 2000 miles away. Very beautiful and I agree, they are top notch in every way. How long did you have to look to find a car optioned with all those goodies?
