The Maranello is also my all time favorite car. I just love the classic big coupe look. As sexy as the Enzo is, I'd take the Maranello over it or any other car in a heartbeat. I see a lot of exotics around here but not this one...it's only $275,000 G's.

Yeah, that is/was SW's 550. One of my favorites too.

He sold it and brought a 360.

My eyes caught the fact that there are TWO Vipers int he grarge in the background...and also the fact that those 2 vipers probably cost less combined than the 360...

but the 360 is o-so-sexy.

Just looking around and saw this thread.. yes that was my 550, I just sold it and got a 360. I really liked it, but had it for 3 years and got bored with it.. Btw, I still have the record in my SC 10.10@143.7 .

Here is a pic of my new F-car:

Oops, my bad I wasn't aware you made another pass. 10.10 is blistering, great work man. Do you drive it yourself or just build/finance it?

very nice man, you are right that with your sc around, i don't think you will get another fast car

so how much slower is the 360 to the 550?

What about the $4000 to do a check up or replace the timing belt every 4K or so miles? that is why I didn't get something like that at first. I bet you haven't seen one of these with 100K miles on it atleast not by a normal person.
