My second favorite non-ridiculous Ferrari (F40,F50,Enzo). My favorite is the 512TR; something about a flat-12

This is my favorite Ferrari til this day. The 550 would be the car that I always picked in the old "Need for Speed" video game. If I would crash it, I would start the race over lol

This WILL be a classic Ferrari

Though what is up with the chicken pox on the inside of the Veilside?

And here they are side-by-side...

...the Maranello and the Fiorano
















I think the first thing you'll notice when comparing the two is how much more imposing in size the Fiorano is in comparison to the Maranello.

I think they're both great looking cars. From the side, I think they look equally as nice but when it comes to front and rear, I think the Maranello looks much nicer.
