Re: 2004 Retro Comparison

The 575M was honestly the last Ferrari that I actually loved (and still do for that matter). It really is an amazing car. Though, I love the 996 GT2 to no-end.

Undoubtedly, I prefer both the 575 and GT2 to their successors (599 & 997 GT2).

Arggh... I don't think I can even decide at the moment.

And even though I love the Gallardo, my affection for it is no where as great as the other in this company.

Re: 2004 Retro Comparison

I choose the 575.
It has the best interior, its the most comfortable and has the nicest engine.
Having such high displacement it probably has better flexibility than the two also.

It was the only Ferrari i've ever liked and i still do. Now my fav is 599 GTB, but nevertheless, it still remains on top of all Ferraris.

But, since no Ferrari can come before Porsche for me, my vote goes to GT2.

Re: 2004 Retro Comparison

All three have a timeless design! The Porsche looks like a Porsche should look like and this also apply to the other both cars manufactured by Ferrari and Lamborghini. All cars have enough power to play along with the new sportcars and, there biggest advantage - they are cheaper to buy (only to buy, their running costs are still at an high level)! So why should someone buy a new supercar, when you could have such beautiful classics?! Awesome cars...

Re: 2004 Retro Comparison

As much as I like the 575 and respect the GT2, I would still choose the Gallardo. I think it feels much "fresher" than the other two.
