The fxx is probably one of the most beautiful cars i have ever seen up close and the sound is god like. So don't rip on a cars look and performance unless you know what your talking about.

Feel free to say that a car has to run forever to be great. Have fun with your appliances. I'll be having fun in my cars that are built to have fun in. If it breaks down, I'll fix it, or buy another one, and continue having fun. Because thats what I look for in a car. Fun. I'll leave you with a quote that I think was writen just for you guys: "Sure, there are those who say Montezemolo's vision will never produce cars with the emotion of Enzo's best---that the NSX ruined everything that was good about exotic high-performance cars.

I hang out at the local Ferrari dealer from time to time and car chat with the guys. It is funny that Ferrari tries to remain so exclusive that it treats most people like crap. Ferraris, even the old and famous racers of the 50s and 60s, aren't great machines, but gorgeous yes. The new ones are super high-tech, but they still aren't great cars. I think the Chevy big-block is still the best engine ever (Ford guys may disagree). Anybody that knows anything about cars will concede. Most racecars are built on that engine... I don't see dragsters, top-fuel funny cars or other vehicles basing their motors off of a Ferrari platform. Ferrari's only real winning racing engines have hardly ever been put into production cars eg: F1 v10's, '61-'64 GTO 3.0 liter 250 engine, 1955 -57 Testa Rosa; and the Dino V6 in the rare Lancia Stratos rally car. The GTOs were slaughtered by the Ford GTs because they were high-reving 3.0 liter v12s that were over taxed in endurance races while the American GTs were larger 8 liter 8 cylinder engines that didn't have to work hard. For the most part, Ferrari (like Jag and Aston Martin) were just rare, beautiful pieces of art. Nothing more, nothing less. I'd like to see a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB-C or P4 take on a Shelby anyday. People have a tendancy (rightfully so) to glorify Ferrari. It is totally a pride thing. Ferrari has to work its butt off to keep up with its racing competition. They put so much into their factory racing team because they know that its the heritage that adds to the cars persona. Pride, too, is the reason why FIAT owns Ferrari instead of FORD. Ferrari sold to the lower bidder because old Enzo and the Italians couldn't bear to see the Americans buy them out (the racing competitor). Hard facts point out that Ferrari isn't the best (the designs have really sucked lately by the way) and that more bland automakers are putting out better products (the Germans) but where's the romance in that? right?

Ugly overpriced piece of garbage.
agreed

The FXX SUX. Its an ugly piece… so many better choices out there.

ugly,ugly car, and you cant use it in the streets,and they keep YOUR car in theit hqs , if u dont live near them, u have to pay a hole lot of money, and that isnt nice

Both are somewhat ugly in my opinion…

This is one of the reasons why I hate Ferrari…and don’t let me mention their overpriced, POS “car� that every idiot thinks is the best because “it’s a Ferrari�… :rolleyes:

This is funny BAMF I wasn’t talking to you in my first post. Lets see what did I call it again? And your responseHey, all you guys who are talking about how stupid Ferrari is, and how overpriced, and (I can’t even believe anyone would say it) how they are “POSâ€? or “pieces of garbageâ€?, let me ask you something: Have you driven one? Can you actually speak from any sort of experience? What on earth makes you think you are qualified to say any of these things? You have no idea what you are talking about, but you just keep on talking, like you know something, which you clearly don’t. I don’t think there is a car manufacturer in the world, supercar makers included, that would even think about talking trash about Ferrari. I mean you just have to be the stupidest bunch around.” Stupid? Get over yourself in the marytr role.

This is the stupidest comment I read thus far “Oh, so the quality of a car is determined by how many cars a company sells? I guess you think GM/Toyota are the best that money can buy… A quality car is something you can drive day in and day out. How many Ferrari’s do you see with 50k miles or more on them? Lets see the that major engine rebuild at 30K. The $600.00 oil change. Yeah real hard to make a car run at its best when it requires special oil. How are the gaps between the panels, all the same-no, look at one.

“What exactly do you think looks so bad about it?”
Everything. The knock off Pagani style headlights, the goofy bodywork. The Maserati MC12 is the best version of the ENZO.

If it wasn’t worth it, all of them wouldn’t be sold already. And the people that buy them know a LOT more than you about Ferraris, considering they are required to have owned several before buying one.

A million dollar limited production car. What technology is so great that it could make it in a $25K, $50K, $100k, or even $150K car? Nothing. "I think they know what the hell they are doing and other manufacturers should follow suit." I don't think so, everyone should sell brand new cars that cost over $150k. Oh and you can only sell 5k cars a year.5k cars worldwide, thats why there's a waiting list for the more money than brains crowd. Well the parent group of Ferrari isn't doing so well now is it? “the FXX is as close to a Ferrari F1 as you can get. im not surprised Ferrari wants to keep track of where the car goes, especially if it were sold to some employee of another auto maker…”

However I believe owners can keep them where they'd like to, almost as a show peice. As ugly as you all say it is, showing up at a track with 1 of 29 ever made will get respect. If you don't want to follow their rules, choose another manufacturer. But if they are such a stuck up company, why do they have a year waiting list on most of their cars. The 599 is already sold out the first year. Obviously the FXX's are all spoken for, and the Enzo had such a demand they built more. I think they know what the hell they are doing and other manufacturers should follow suit. When they first released info on the FXX they said all cars will be stored at Ferrari’s HQ.

No, but at least you can drive it on the street. The FXX is hardly the best track car, just the most overpriced. The million or so spent on the FXX would be better spent on a retired track car that is quicker, handles better and costs less. That is if speed and handling are your criteria. “A Veyron is hardly a track car.” No, but at least you can drive it on the street. The FXX is hardly the best track car, just the most overpriced.
