[QUOTE="treynor, post: 13406687, member: 6214"] Heh. Ignoring for the moment that the 599 GTO is also a limited-production non-current model, and also ignoring (for reasons I expect are becoming clear) your Ferrari-specific knowledge assertion, I believe see the point you're after: for the cost of an optioned-out 458 a person could also buy an F12. I'll offer my personal perspective - they are two completely different cars (mid engine vs front engine, GT car vs sports car) and I never considered cross-shopping between them, nor did anyone else I know who has one. People are currently curious about the F12 because they're still quite rare, but soon they'll be curious about the 458 Speciale, and then about the LaFerrari, etc. Finally, regarding the Ferrari lineup, let me expand your horizons. Just looking at recent models, and ignoring the >$3M historical cars, there's also the SA Aperta, the 16M, the 458 Challenge and GT3/..., the FXX and 599XX, the 333SP, and of course the F1 cars. If it's instant envy you seek in an enthusiast crowd, very little would trump casually mentioning that you own Schumacher's championship-winning F2004 . But then, as I mentioned earlier, you'd better be able to drive it! [/QUOTE]
