Somebody tell me why the Ferrari 599 GTO isn't the best

It is. It looks like a real car instead of the dumb looking mid engined shit that every company is doing right now.

It is the only Ferrari with class that I would drive around town or to dinner. The long hood and stout rear make it a very handsome vehicle. The proportions are perfect. I'd take one over a 458 Italia any day.

>>15253253
It's certainly one of my favorites. I imagine they'll appreciate like crazy.

So 458= 4.5 veeate
By that logic that's a 5.9 9 cylinder.

There's a red one like in the pic in London with genuine from factory delivery miles for £800k, I would buy it over a la Ferrari in a heartbeat

Are you retarded or is this bait?

It's a silly car.
Costs $500k and it can't even outperform vettes/vipers which costs 5x less.
Sorta ugly too, plus huge maintenance fee and horrid reliability.
3/10 kar

>>15253304
Corvettes and vipers are shit cars, I hate the comparison made, ferraris are on another level, it's the whole car that counts not how fast it can go in a straight line

>>15253253
>Calls it a GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato)
>Doesn't race it.

I don't like 599s or F12s, way too big, too stiff for a GT, too fat for a sports car, pain to work on. 550/575 was perfect.

>>15253253
It's not the best performance value in comparison to other high end cars

but when it comes to all the feels of driving a ferrari, holy shit. Something about that engine with the long pipes makes them sound fantastic right from the factory. A lot of mid engine ferrari owners i meet do exhaust mods but I've never met someone who felt like modding a front engine ferrari exhaust. Not that it doesn't happen, it's just that resonance is awesome.

Is this some new meme? As if the Nismo GTR is a bad car?

I mean the Z06 + Z07 package costs 50-60 grand less than a Nismo.

Is it a popular fad to hate GTR's now?

It costs 110k+. That's 40k.

The corvette is already slower, if it didn't have its track packages it would get destroyed even harder.

Plenty of people pay for track packages you retard. Just look at the Shelby GT350R.

Pretty much every who buys a Z06 and wants to beat a GTR (or at least attempt to and fail), will buy a track package.

>>15253377
They're numb feeling cars. I much prefer to feel every curve and jostle as the suspension works and articulates as it achieves maximum grip. The feel of the wind on a completely aluminum bodied machine powered by a roaring straight six. The squeal of the rubber as you reach maximum G. All of that for the simple price of a $40 bus pass.

How will the GTR compete?

>>15253411
>very who buys a Z06 and wants to beat a GTR
So 0 buyers? There is no racing class in the world that includes stock Corvettes and GTRs racing against eachother, and certainly not a flying lap time trial in a factory car. People who want to beat other racers in other cars buy race cars.

Reading comprehension. His argument is nobody buys track packages.

Manufacturer's use mid engines for superior handling.

You posted one race, a drag race. Do a track day sometime, then participate in a race, pretty easy to tell what the difference is. Why are you posting about things you know absolutely nothing about? Do you think it's not obvious to people that do?

What? LaFerrari and GTC4 Lusso (if you want to differentiate it from the FF) came after, all 3 are still being made, the LaF Spider is coming out, V12s aren't going anywhere.

>>15253637
I definitely like the Challenge Stradale more than Scuds and Speciales, they feel the closest to an actual Challenge car and the over the top interior grew on me

Cuckphonse grfo this is a Ferrari thread

anyway i personally prefer the f12 (mainly the tdf) because I prefer the sound and if I'm gonna have a flappy paddle gearbox at least let it be snappy

if I were to get a 599 it would be a gtb with a manual for reasons that you have probably heard before

but I do admit it's a good looking car... matter in fact, despite the controversy, I lik like the retro styling of the 599 zagato

Yeah and that matters why. real life isn't about the best track times. Why do they think regular People care about superior handling because of mid engine.

599 gto handles better than most people can exploit.

Same as it is to the GTO but rather have less oversteer and understeer. Fucking FF and FR fags BTFO'd

This is the best Ferrari ever.
I've driven plenty of them as i'm living near the factory in Italy and i can definitely tell you that this car is the perfect mix of them all.
V12, 4 wheel drive (but trust me, it slides and drifts like a 2wd), has got a decent boot, you can carry your friends with it and you won't look like a total douche while driving it in a normal situation. Plus double-clutch gearbox (a jewel) instead of that clunky single-clutch.
I know it seems like an unpopular opinion but i really think the FF stands out in the Ferrari lineup. GTC4Lusso will be an even better car, i guess.

>>15256445
I've also driven plenty of Ferrari's as i'm looking at them on the internet

>>15256456
I'm not trying to convince you of something, you can trust me or not, it's all up to you.
But let me tell you being this near Maranello really boosts your chances of driving a Ferrari.

>>15256464
Right.

In the same way that living in the East Midlands increased your chances of driving many Rover's.

>>15256470

I've driven it as well, pic related!
It's an absolutely glorious car. It sounds so brilliant, and it's stupidly fast. Also, if you put it in sport mode it actually becomes 2wd up to a certain speed. I only don't like it in red, think it looks better in blue, green or silver.
