I would ride the bus if it meant I could own an F-40 and take it out for track days. There's never been another street car like it. Not because it does or doesn't have soul, but because of the way I felt when I sat in one.

A lot of people criticize the look of the new 599. I don't get it. The 575 is my favorite car of all time. I was slightly disappointed when I initially saw the 599 because I didn't consider it the best evolution from the 575. I've changed my mind now. The 599 hasn't taken away my lust for the 575. My appreciation for the 599 is growing every day though. It's curves are bodacious. It is sleek and sporty. I'm sure it's fast as all get out. Love it. Can't wait to see one modded.

Maybe it's just me, but I never really warmed up to the 575. The 599 is beautiful to me though. So is the F40!

I never like either one too much in terms of style, particularly the new 599 . . .

Jeez, add a 612 and it's sweet Ferrari city.

RE: The 575M - my favorite Ferrari of them all, just because it's the only one I think has the ability to be a daily driver (plus it's so hot).

The F40 is still, hands-down, my favorite car of all time (275 GTB comes in a close second). Came out in 1987. Twin-turbo 2.9 liter V8, 478 HP, 2400 pounds, and no electronic nannies. 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. The car was so far ahead of its time in terms of performance. Now, almost 20 years later, there are still very few cars that can outperform it on the track.
