Any other questions?

Wow, I have seen Ferrari 250 GTOs running in Vintage and Historic Races in pretty hard-fought racing. Imagine if you crashed!

very simple- for the longest time Ferrari only made a few cars each year- they were not assembly line productions....even Ferrari owners were advised and encouraged to sell their Ferrari’s to official Ferrari dealers rather than other car dealers so Ferrari could keep tabs on them.....that has changed in the past two years...
sell their used Ferrari’s to official Ferrari dealers is what i meant...
Is it Ferrari or Ferraris ?
Word was that the Lambo flagship car for the longest time -the Countach — was virtually undriveable. I’ve never heard that said about a Ferarri. Which is not to say a lot of people can NOT drive them; you hear about a lot of ruined million-dollar Ferarris driven by spoiled kids or idiots with more testosterone than skill.
Any other questions?

I owned a Ferrari GTO when I was a kid.
It was an Aurora Thunderjet 500 model.
That was in the title. I think Ferraris is the plural of Ferrari.

I hear Nick Mason of Pink Floyd fame has quite a collection of Ferraris and other cool cars, as would I if I could afford them.
“Thomas Magnum”
I drove that 308 years ago at the Universal backlot right after a certain movie was filmed. Growing up either you had the General lee or the Selleck car.
Early-mid 20's kid pulls in driving a Ferrari 275 GTB 4 Cam. Pays for his gas from a stack of $100's. His supermodel date is wearing a floor length chinchilla coat.
After he shows me the engine (six dual Webers down the middle, 'bundle-of-snakes' exhaust headers) I say, "If you don't mind me asking, what does this cost?"
"Oh, about $14,500."
While I don't have the '59 Volvo PV544 I was driving then, I am still married to the same wife.
I'd be surprised if that kid still has either the Ferrari or the girlfriend.
I prefer my outcome.
Yes.
Insane car.
I think the Maserati Bora is considered by many to be the first road going supercar. The Lamborghini response was the Miura. I think the Ford GT40 street version would beat them both.
That was a replica given the cost of getting a real one.
Because they are classically beautiful.
