wow.... what a hit b 5th gear on the car..... the car really sounds very nice (obviously, with the enzo engine), and the interior looks pretty damn nice to me too. the light on the steering wheel, that's an awesome thought.

but i guess on the track the car is just ok compared to cars like the z06 like they mentioned, and most of all, they picked the f430 over the 599!!!!

i still can't get over the exterior or the car, it just doesn't look appealing at all still. the f430, gosh

Well, thats sorta expected. The V12 Ferrari's have always been more GT like, while the V8 Ferraris more extreme.

Well, Im definitely part of the minority when it comes to current Ferrari designs. I find this and the F430 quite ugly to look at. IMO only the Novitec kit can save the F430. But I find the 612 classy and pleasing to the eye. Low, long, no hood and side vents, and a modern day interpretation of classic Ferrari's.
