Sorry guys. And Enzo, bless your late soul.
There just has not been a real Ferrari, Italian race car heritage inspired car since the 355.
Know why all the later F-cars squint?
They replaced the Italian designers with a
Japanese one.
Seriously,
they all look like Honda clones.
Even my wife didn't know the 360 was a Ferrari.
And we were at a dealer.
Before you think for one moment that she doesn't know Ferrari, this is her.
And
this is a Ferrari.

I was curious about the heritage too, now call me old fashioned but i don't want a 100+thousand dollar car with "paddle" shifter. I can't afford it of course but i want a regular old 5 or 6 speed manual shift gearbox.

I wasn't all that impressed by the 355, honestly. The new ones look kind of weird, and I think the Enzo is rather ugly. I would say that the last *real* Ferrari was the F40 (which I drove twice and loved).
Last I checked, they're still designed by Pininfarina, not so?

Correction...there hasn't been a real Ferrari since the 365-GTB/4 Daytona.
