    Sheeit that don't look nothing like Ironhead ever driven. Seriously anyone who says they wouldn't want to flog that around their favorite road course for an afternoon is full of shit.

    I love it.


    I rather like the 599xx, despite what some of you heathens may say. Both the girlfriend and I agree that it is an undeniably hot car. She says she'd have one if we had the scratch. (I taught her to autocross and we're both F1 fans.)

    Not sure on the looks of the 599xx, but I dare anyone to name a Ferrari designed in the last 30 years that looks as good as the 599 GTB.

    @ForgedyPistonshroom: Actually, the bottom car was introduced way back in 1973, so it's probably more accurate to say that Jaguars look like it. Definitely a class act, no matter how old it is. I'd also throw in a 288GTO for good measure.

    Pretty as this Ferrari is, I could care less about it. I group it with other cars I could care less about, like any Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, BMW, Bugatti, and Lotus. Only crooked hedge fund managers, elite douchebags, Arab sheiks, and the snotty heirs to family fortunes purchase these penile extenders.


    Time to turn the page.

    I wonder if those brake disk covers reduce brake dust on the rims. Not that it matter for this car as it is my understanding that carbon ceramic brakes do not generate a lot of dust...

    His grammar's making me sic, but aside from that, I get it.


    Anyway, Doug, the trick is to hover your mouse around in the middle of the large photo until the arrows disappear and your pointer goes from a link-hand to a regular arrow. Then you can right-click and save.

    @ForgedyPistonshroom: It's grammatically correct if you remove the comma or add a subject: "i wont [thus] do it mannually [thus]", which I can understand because it does require a lot of clicking through the gallery, but if you want it that badly then do it?

    At least it's a proper track car. Still having trouble caring, though. Anything I'd be scared to drive isn't something I can get enthusiastic about (unless it's the "erratic handling leads to sure death at 30mph" kind rather than the "if I crash this I will be beheaded by the Sicilian mafia" sort).

    How Ferrari could make that six-foot wide, yellow spoilered Lambo look more conservative than the jury at the Salem Witch Trials is beyond me. I've been staring at this car and I feel like there's something about it, something I can't quite put my finger on, that makes me feel like the longer I stare, and the harder I try to find things I like about the design, the more of a shallow, hollow, terrible person I become. No wait, it was the side wings.

    Okay, I'm going to break flow like MC McStutter and put my two cents in: this thing is ugly.

    Is it a Viper? Is it an SLR? No, it's red, it must be a Ferrari! Judging by the forth pic, it's a Ferrari painted in late-80s ultra-fast-fade sunset orange too.

    The carbonfibre Landau top is silly, those stupid little ear-winglets that make it look like a over-cropped Doberman Pinscher are silly, and it looks like it just drove through a carbonfibre puddle.


    Way to ruin a perfectly good 599, Ferrrari. Did the design department hire Ronaldo?
