    The only one I've really driven is the F430.

    As someone who's dream car has always been the 360, the experience made me question if I ever want to drive one lol.

    For me, it's the 328 (shorter drives) or the 3.2 Mondial (longer drives). It's just the perfect point in time where the cars were still dead simple simple, and raw, and visceral -- and yet they wer modern enough to be reliable without tinkering, had great performance, and A/C that mostly works. The 328 is a blast, the 3.2 Mondial is more comfortable and roomy -- some drives will favor the 328, others the Mondial -- but either one is going to deliver a great driving experience.

    599, 288, or 250? :)

    Also, now that I think about it, which California?

    Hi, PeterP
    The GTO (250) is serial number 4713 GT, now owned, I believe by Lulu Wang.
    The California Spider (250) is serial number 2015 GT, owned at the time by Mr Pappallado (sp?)
    They were both amazingly easy to drive and absolutely enjoyable.
    Two experiences I'll never forget!

    Ferrari 308 GT4 (with suspension rebuilt and set up for track use, proper tuning, larger wheels and low profile tires) has been the most fun to drive out of several classic and modern V8 and V12 Ferraris I have driven

    I would split this up in 3 categories, in which all the options might satisfy an individual’s desire for fun:

    1. High revving V8s - Probably the best sound, but they usually don’t have enough torque to interest me for long.

    2. Forced Injection V8s - Good torque, but turbo lag and sound are the downsides. The best combination for me is a supercharged V8 (Ford GT) which gives you that wonderful low end torque, no lag, but great sound. The downside on supercharged engines is efficiency because it always draws HP whether you are stomping on it or not

    3. V-12s - A real sweetheart of an engine, very smooth running, with the most linear torque curves. Does everything well, a shame they are rapidly being consigned to the history books.

    Scuderia hands down. Ive droven f355 6 sp stick, F430 6 sp stick, F430 manual, 458, f8 tributo, and Roma off top of my head. The ultra fast and smooth shifts of DCT tranny just doesnt instill the excitement on upshifts or downshifts. The F1 shifts on the Scuderia is a while difft story: dramatic and more Formula 1 race car like. The sound in the cabin is nuts! Scuderia is what i have always envisioned truly driving an exotic car should be like. The only other car ive driven that exceeds this experience is the Aventador S roadster and SVJ roadster...entirely difft league.

    All of them? I have owned and put quite a bit of miles on F430, 458 and F12. All are a blast and all very different. I test drove a Roma and didn't care for it but it was a test drive and didn't really count.
