    can't see the Pic but I would choose ultimate system... living in canada, that car would be stored for 7 out of 12 months, the system can be used all year round

    Yeah, but there was several others in the background and in subsequent pics with that wonderful V-12. Mainly, my comment was about the Daytona I saw the hind quarters of. I've actually got to drive an F-40 around a track in Nashville, Tn about 12 years ago, so I did know what was sitting behind my back, under the clear bonnet.

    No way. That is awesome. I got to sit in the passenger seat of a parked Lambo Diablo once about 4 years ago. How fast did you get the F40 up to?

    The car was up for auction, for charity, and I was allowed to take it around twice at about 120, that was accomplished iin third gear.
    The car eventually went for over $1 million. It was pretty cool to get to drive a piece of automotive history. Just wish my $5000 bid would have won. HA!!!

    These were taken by an amateur (sp) photographer. And sadly the models didn't come along to the meet :( Besides I think I'd have a hard time focusing on the Ferrari's if the silicone models were present in the photo's.

    Why aren't there ever any babes posing with those delicious audio components we see pic's of all the time?

    I would say my favorite Ferrari is the 512 TR. Ever since the old Testarossa debuted on Miami Vice about 20 years ago, Ive had a sweet spot for em.

    Mine was the 1962 California Spyder like the one in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Luckily the one they ran off the end of the garage was a kit car, seeing that only 52 were ever made and they fetch well over a million today.

    My favorite partly because in person it's simply stunning, plus it's the one I could afford is, the Ferrari Dino. Built by Enzo in honor of his son Dino whom died at an early age. I know it's built from some Fiat parts and it's a six cylinder, not the traditional 8. Enzo was originally against anything more than 8 cylinders. I had the chance to see one in person and it's such a work of art. I could look at it all day and never get tired of it. Designed by Pinninfarina. Not the fastest boldest Ferrari, but still a Ferrari all the way through. Plus a late model in good condition w/ a few miles can be gotten for <$50,000. A true classic in evey sense of the word. Sure the other Ferrari models are fabulous but let's face it, most of us will never own one unless you are loaded.
