iam glad you didnt put the 456M in there...That piece is the worst car i think has come from Ferrari...It's got a V-12 and around 460HP yet it cant even go 0-60 in under 5 seconds.....And dont even get me stated with the GTA version...4-speed automatic in a Ferrari=complete disgrace....

[MR2Driver]

I mean, if you're putting it against the F40, F50 and F60... why not make the 360 in this comparison a Challenge Stradale?

Absolutely the most poised and balanced Ferrari EVER, and the best looking. It may not be the fastest, but I still give it a 3 on the finger scale... (meaning i'd cut off 3 fingers to have it)

burntrice, the 456GT was never meant to perform as an exotic or as a supercar. It's a gentleman's 4 seat GT car in the same class as an Aston Martin DB7 or one of the big V12 Mercedes.

Furthermore, the 456GT FINANCED (in Europe) the F355 and the 550 Maranello projects, and laid the groundwork for the 612 Scaglietti, the Maranello replacement, and the Maserati Quattroporte.

The 456GT furthered a long line of big Ferrari luxury sport coupes that starts all the way back at the 250GT Berlinetta Lusso and includes such luminaries as the 500 Superfast, the 330GTC, and the 410 Superamerica.

Not to mention I'm a big fan of the seven 456GT Estates (that's station wagon in Yank speak) that Ferrari and Pininfarina built on order as a gift to the Sultan of Brunei.





Ferrari owes a lot to the 456GT, and the car is a very handsome coupe with good pedigree (even though it is one of two Ferraris to ever be offered with an automatic gearbox).

Now, you want to talk worst Ferrari ever, let's talk Bertone 308GT/4.

"Now, you want to talk worst Ferrari ever, let's talk Bertone 308GT/4"

but.... rip out two seats and put a new body on it and it beomes a 'good' car?

admittedly, after the dream that is the 246 dino, lord alone knows what happened.....

[Layla's Keeper]

Well, the Pininfarina body made it adequate. It took the Quattrovalvole version with the fiberglass body to make the 308GTB a good car, and it took fuel injection to make it a great car.

My cousin Barry owns a Quattrovalvole carbureted 308GTB. When it runs right, it runs like a dream. When it's wrong, well, it's a hiccuping stuttering case of vapor-lock waiting to happen.

The joys of a brace of four Weber carbs.

"a hiccuping stuttering case of vapor-lock waiting to happen."
