cool stuff.

I don't like how they only have 2 round tail lights on the rear of the 599 GTB. I liked the 4 round tail lights better. The car is still amazingly hot.

I wonder why they didn't use a 575? I just detailed a 550 and 575, they're so insanely gorgeous in person it's disgusting. The exhaust is sinfully delicious, too. The Maranello's never got the credit they deserved.

Dude, I was about to type the same thing. Why no 575?

I must say the 599 is growing on me

My point of view. Ferrari 599 GTB looks awful ever Ferrari built. I'll take Porsche GT3 RS anytime.

definately a technical triumph

better in everyway on paper and in experience

not sure how practical it is putting 600hp in a touring coupe like that though, i think mclaren SLR still has its market settled

anyways
now is a good time to pick up an used 550
550 has always been one of my fav cars
bought one a few years back
..
.
.
..


a die cast model that is
lol
