The Maranello is perhaps the best GT car in the world - its roomy, got decent luggage space, mile-eating torque, sporty handling yet comfortable ride. Is also the most reliable Ferrari of all time along with the 328.
When the car came out I thought it looked like a Supra :roll: . the engine is pretty mute for a Ferrari. Thankfully, over time the design has aged well - it looks very mature and classy - something I would like when I am in my fifties. But not now
To my tastes now, a Ferrari should be an agile beast with a high revving screaming engine, low slung, aggressive curves, pointy handling and such - pretty much pointing to the V8 cars. The Maranello is like the Porsche Turbo of the Ferrari range - very effective but not as exciting as say a 355.
My dream garage has no place for a Maranello. (it has 4 slots open for a CS, 288GTO, 250 SWB and a Daytona)
Maranello is a cool car though 8)

Some Fcars beg for different colors:
Lusso - Blue > Rosso Fiorano > Silver> Red
Daytona/Dino/512BB/275 - Red = Yellow > Silver
308/328/348 - Red > Yellow
348 - Red > Yellow
355/360/430/550/456 - Titanium > TdF > Black > Rosso Fiorano > Red
F40/288 GTO/250 GTO/SWB - Red only please

That's the territory where we need to be strong and resist the red call:
F40
288 GTO
250 GTO
250GT SWB
See? It isn't difficult and comon, to show up at a big European F meeting like the one at the ring in a red F40 when there are another 15 or 20 red ones is not as cool as turning the last corner in your unique white one and have everybody go "WOW"!
Quite an OT here

Subzero for me. I love the look of the car and it drives so well.

Nice F-car dream garage . I think I would have to exchange the CS for a F40 and the Daytona for a 275 GTB/4 though. I honestly think I am the only Ferrari admirer that doesnt like Daytonas Ive driven qutie a few different Daytonas and I just done like them. Thats not to say I hate them, I just dont like them nearly as much as other Ferraris.
