Love the Ferrari aura, and if money were no object I'd have a warehouse full of them.

But semi-practically speaking, I'd probably just buy a matching pair of Z06s and live happier. The new Stingray is amazingly good looking (and performing). If we saw as few of them as we did the "exotics", they'd probably have about the same cache about them and would excite us just as much.

The Ferraris that really get me excited have 12 cylinders.......

The F12TdF does that nicely.

We were pitted next to some folks that had one of these at Road America last year. Neat car.

It's nice, but I'm going with this one. May be a little biased, but this is what mine looks like, if I can EVER get the motherfucker back in one piece again. 446 cubic inches, 550 horses, with the third pedal on da firewall.


Now that the pic is up, I realize it's almost as large as the throbbing erection I have from looking at it.

That is a sweet looking ride, G. For all their flaws, the old stuff certainly has it's charms.

This does it for me. I'm not sure why, but from day 1 I was hooked on the 2 door caddy's. Of course they're not on the same level as the lambo's, but perhaps that part of the appeal for me. I think it's safe to say I'll never have a Lamborghini, these could actually be realistic for a normal dude like me:

When I think of money I think of cars. Same deal with me - if I hit the lottery, my first purchase is a place to put all the cars I'd buy. Sure I'd buy a nice big house and all the other stuff, but the biggest thrill would be the Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos...
I recently got rid of my '15 Vette- it was such a thrill to drive, especially on the track. I was faster in my Vette than I was in my 911. Couldn't imagine what a Z06 must feel like, because the power in the Vette was just unreal. I bought my kid a '15 Mustang GT, which is only 20 less hp, but the difference in power was night and day.
