I just got back and will share more pics later. Still geeked up about seeing 1 of 500 Ferrari 599 GTO's. Ferrari of Atlanta was gracious enough to bring one to this monthly meet. The sheer presence in person is hard to match, not just b/c it is a big 2 door but b/c it just looks "special". There is a magic to it that is hard to explain in pictures.

What a lucky couple of weeks to see a LFA and 599 GTO

At the end the Ferrari guys loaded it up on their trailer. Dozens of people gather to see it on the move, it's actually quite sedate idling and moving slowly.

The guy then gave us a treat and revved it a few time while it was loading. What a glorious sound, superb.

Good show Ferrari, Good show!!

There were a lot of people out today and the lot was filled. I will post pics of the other sweet rides soon. I just had to quickly share the GTO pics!

There's actually 599 being sold, not 500, but I like the matching mirrors stripes and brake calibers. Looks REAL good. Wheels still look small to me though, and a big bite off the ones on the LFA, but besides that, the car is flawless

i was on the other side of the lot when the 599 revved when it was being loaded and it sounded great all the way across the place. i really wanted to hear the BB512 revv but they diddnt

What's included in the "racing livery" on the sticker - the red stripes and red mirrors?

the meet is getting too commercial. dont agree with vendors setting up tents and promoting businesses. the meet wont last too long if it continues to grow in that manner.

I've seen both cars and not once did I think the wheels looked alike. Never crossed my mind. Split spokes have been around for ages. I do believe BBS makes both the wheels for the GTO and the LFA

He never warned us, it just happened. Then I came

I was STUNNED by the amount of tents around and blatant businesses at the meet. That is only going to shoo people away IMO. Also there were quite a bit of people who "didn't get the memo" that their car is quite pedestrian and they should park in the opposite lot. There is no rule per-se but its OBVIOUS what cars seemed odd parked in the show lot. Cars and Coffee has the same issue in Cali.

Still though its by far the best meet in Atlanta.

They're the same design, and for a car that's supposed to be unique i don't see why they would go with the same as the LFA. Of course you can change wheels eventually, but they do look like the one's on the LFA, they just don't have the type of finish on them.

The Ferrari's roar made one little guy break down in howling tears. I guess the V-12 doesn't sound so awesome when you're not even 2 years old.

The guy driving the BB into the truck was clearly just barely qualified to drive. He was having huge issues getting it lined up. It's probably good he didn't rev it. Who knows what might have happened.
