Somewhat of a monthly feature, I will post a make or a model line, and you post your favorite one.



This month: What is your favorite Ferrari?

The one I want to own is the 355.  Of course most of the classics are great, but I think the 355 is a great car in every aspect.

it'll be hard to not say the 458, but I'm inclined to think that the best one for the real world is the California.

I'm temperamental; I can break the rules.

The only reason I think that should be enforced is otherwise this will become a post pictures of Ferraris you like thread.

Is that a bad thing?

If it counts as a Ferrari:

Even though I know there are faster ones, if it were my money I would prob go with the 360 Challenge Stradale.

430 & 458 are awesome, but they look a lil too Japanese.

355 was temperamental, slower and not as brilliant dynamically.

Big V12s are cool... I like the 550/575/599, but just can't get with the weight.

F40/F50/F60 are too obvious. I mean I like them, but IDK, always just been more partial to Ferrari's "working class" line.

575M Maranello was the first Ferrari that I remember being really stoked about.  Still a fav.

The 355 Spyder and 575M Maranello. I probably like the 575M the best, since it's the last non-super computer V12 GT Ferrari.

Oh and the FF. LOVE that. If I was some loaded dude, I'd be one of the first to take delivery for my house in Colorado. It would have a ski roof rack too.

The more I look at the FF, the more I like it. I was not a fan at first.

Last big V12 Ferrari with a stick I think as well.  Also you might like the pictures my friend took...  Although it's a 550 (Had a stick though!)

The 365 GTB/4 Daytona, for a couple of reasons.

1: Its a classic. In a few years, all the current Ferraris wil just be old Ferraris. The Daytona will always be a classic.

2: Its the only Ferrari I've ever had the pleasure of driving at anything more than a snail's pace, and has formed a good part of my ideal car parameters ever since.

3: Unlike most Ferraris, it looks good in blue.

Fixed.

2nd place. The California is the worst looking Ferrari of all time.

luckily, you must've been too young to hear about this bad boy:

That's the one with the 3-speed hydramatic transmission, isn't it?

Aye.


Don't know why you guys are hating on the California. I think it's very pretty.

Honestly, a prettier car than the Jag E-Type...



I love a bunch of modern Ferraris, but this one is the best of the best.

250 SWB California Spyder.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

The 250 California and 365 Daytona Spyders are probably my favorite Ferraris to look at, but I'd be too afraid to expose one to the dangers of a public road. If a modern California gets wrecked, I can order another one off the assembly line.
