Can I have both? If not then I'll settle for the cheaper one.

The F12 is the last of the Big HP NA motors in a Ferrari from here on Ferrari will be putting twin turbos on all there cars. The California is already a TT and the Italia is going to be.

Take the badges off & I bet a non-enthusiast wouldn't be able to tell which one is which. Nicely done, Team Corvette.

The F-car's yellow is better--similar to the old Millennium yellow (bring it back!)...

Both are beautiful rides, but I have to pass the ribbon to the Z06.

Looks both aggressive and refined. That being said, I wonder where the design team extracted their lines from. If only they smoothed out that godawful nose and those two fangs sticking out.

Both are stunning.

Wouldn't mind the Z06 having a more integrated/refined rear spoiler like the F12.

The first time I saw a picture of the C7 in January 2013, I thought it was an F12.

People can talk **** about how the Z is so much better, cheaper blah blah blah.

The Ferrari is still better made, has a V12 scream (which not many cars have), is VERY exclusive etc...

Point being I would take the f12 anyday of the week, but the corvette is so much more affordable.

gotta respect both.

Wow, I guess I'm the only one here who likes the looks of the C7Z better. Good thing too, because I'd never be able to afford the Ferrari!

The Ferrari isn't in its signature red. That car looks way more beautiful in red than yellow. The Ferrari (in my opinion) is by far the better looking car, especially from the backside.

There's nothing stopping you from buying the F12.. except the $400,000 price.

How many have you bought so far?






There's a reason why price matters.

Ferrari street cars are overrated (and some of their track cars are not doing very well lately, either). They have HUGE and frequent needs and few are driven very far, much less tracked, because they are delicate and can't take being driven hard for very long. They are big bucks to buy and bigger bucks to maintain and the dealers shift as much expense back to the owners as possible. Buying a Ferrari is God's way of saying you have too much money. A couple of years ago they had to recall ALL of their cars because of bad crankshafts. Enjoy.
