I guess I am the only one who does not fancy the headlights. The rest of the Italia looks fine. The specs are remarkable.

The colored inserts look better imo.

Everything about that car is wrong, IMO. It's got lines all over the place, and IMO it has the proportions of a muscle car.

Most overrated looking car of all time.

Looks like a more feminine version of a Datsun Z.  Nothing special.

Oh, you're talking about the 599.  I thought you were talking about the Italia at first.

I still disagree, but not as much.

Those qualities aren't inherent to muscle cars by any means.

They used to sell kits to convert your Z to a GTO. I think it makes the car look worse.

I think that a lot of old Ferraris are ugly.

:ohyeah:

The GTO, 2000GT, and E-Type were all released before the Datsun.

The E-type is a phallic, blob-like car. Kind of like a Taurus:

I don't. I just wanted to tease him, and it gave me an opportunity to post E-Type pictures. We can never have enough E-Type pictures. :ohyeah:

I'm so fucking glad that the closest most of you get to an automotive design class is reading about it in a college handbook. 

Musclecar proportions? Might as well say a panda and penguin are the same thing and look the same because they both start with P and have similar colors...
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

Hahahah! A coincidence. I literally haven't looked at this site in just over a week. I've been gone on vacation for a week, getting ready for surgery on Wednesday. Visited Fallingwater in southwestern PA. Come back, 'cause it's my birthday today, check in to see if anything's new, and realize that it's not my meds, but reading moronic tripe from people that have no clue that's my real problem. It just boggles the mind the sort of stupidity that flows from some people's fingers...
