Best Ferrari Ever
Well 5th Gear is having the best ferrari ever contest...so I thought it would be interesting to find out which is JW's Best Ferrari Ever...so post a pic and tell a bit why you think it's the best ferrari ever...
My pic is the 355 GTS...I love this car, to me the 355 is the greatest looking ferrari of all times, and I like the GTS in particular because the targa roof offers the fun and exitement of a convertible and the convinence of a hardtop. It's also a good performer on the track and a pretty good everyday car, well so I've read, I wouldn't know this because I've never driven one, I guess I'll have to ask Jabba to confirm this  and of course the lovely sound of the V8...

dude this will be a hard desision. I love the look of the 355 but there is no doubt in my mind that the 360 would preform better and would be easy to drive even if the looks are questionable. The F40 is a great looking car but its not a V12 and i'm not a big fan of V8 supercars. The F50 is near perfect in my books, great looks correct engine but does it have the practacality. We all say we dont care about how practacle a car is but when you get a two seater that has no luxuries you will know what it means. then there is the new 612, 456, 575 and the list goes on.
But what about the older ferrari's like the GTO and 348's they were the best in their day. but how do they stack up now can they be compared? I will get back to you with an answer i will sleep on it.....

but if it has to be all out performance then it has to be the enzo

This is a hard decision, but I'm gonna have to agree on this with Chaos in 1983!, becuase I personally think the 355 GTS is the best, although after that 5th gear episode with the 360 Stradale, I was a little shaken, but still the 355 GTS holds the crown for me. Yes, the looks maybe a little dated, but it is the last Ferrari in my opinion that holds the true Ferrari shape.

Very though indeed.
I'd go with the F40 or the 365 GTB/4 Daytona Coupé.

For me there is no such thing as the best Ferrari ever. They are all the best in their own little way. But, If I was rich my first Ferrari would be a 250GTO.
Just look at it. This is the best looking car ever. In it's time it won everything in entered, it has a classic Ferrari V12 and it sounds like nothing else. This design has been riped off more then anything else.
