Re: 599

What do you prefer? 430 or that? Do you think that they will see the typical 12 cyl. steep depreciation? TIA.

Re: 599

Now you must go drive a 997tt and tell us how they compare.

I like both, but if I had to make the choice, I would take my 430

Interesting

What would be the major arguments in favor of the F430. What are the pros and cons of the 599GTB? Many thanks

The 430 is more "pure", as is the 599 more "GT" .... as exspected of course.

Re: 599

Hi guys, also driven the 599 GTB last Saturday, it is an amazing car, drives likes a Mercedes S until you put the pedal to the metal. The part I find really amazing is the "soft" and comfortable ride with the 20" tires. I had 280 on the clock in a sec and still a very quit ride. Have to agree with the others prefer my 360F1 or my 911 as a real sport/track car. This car is more competition to a Bentley GT. To my opinion the 599 will be hot the first 2 years and nobody wants to buy it anymore like the 550 and 575. (will drive a Prosche 977 Turbo next week)

Re: 599

The 599 is going to be Ferrari's best seller ever.

Presently 5th in Spain still 16-18months away

Yea, it will be interesting to see if it breaks this typical tradition. You're probably right though. That's one of the reasons why they gave it so much HP to give it more pizazz.
