Ferrari 250 GTO
|
Isn't it automatically subzero just because it is an F-Car? ;) :P
|
i like the 80's ferrari way better then these old ones as well as the new ones ....
348, 355, testerossa, 512, 575 F40 F50 are the best ferrari's of all time :prr: |
Has to be SZ :twisted: !
|
How do I love thee ... let me count the ways!!!
It has incredible racing pedigree It has exclusivity with 39 cars around It looks incredible - all the right curves It sounds glorious - proper V12 sounds I have seen 2 real GTOs and 1 fake one - they all looked heart stoppingly beautiful. Looks better in the flesh than the pictures if it is even possible. And when the car passed by I thought I was having a heart attack - what an engine note! The only (and I mean only) de-merit is the gearbox. Innes Ireland, a well known F1 and sports car pilot, mentioned that with the GTO, Ferrari introduced a synchromesh gearbox which coupled with a longish throw of the gear lever, made the gearchanges take longer than the sports car before it - SWB, TdF. Other than that the car was perfect. The SWB is perhaps a better road and track car but the GTO is better track car -quicker, had better brakes and is faster top end. The GTO was the first use of the Kamm tail by Ferrari where the rounded was lopped off at the rear creating an inbuilt spoiler to give better aero grip to the car. The other cool thing about the GTO is that its owners tend to exercise the cars on the circuit quite regularly. You would think that with a price of USD 8MM+, the cars would be confined to a musuem or kept for display. But no, you see these cars out on Ferrari Days events - at Laguna, Goodwood and other classic tracks. I think the F355 owners are more finicky and worried about dinging their cars than the GTO owners. :lol: Defines the category Sub-Sub-zero. I have some old road and track mags with some reviews on the GTO - I will post it up soon. |
Definitly Subzero !!
It's a myth :) |
SZ 8) and the only car in the world that is cooler then the 275GTB :wink:
|
That picture doesn't do it justice. This car is truly something special and is a definite subzero.
|
Very Cool Car 8)
|
Sub. 0% Gay.

^LOL! :lol:
This has got to be the most sub-zeroed car in JW history. |

Who ever voted "cool" should get the firing squad.

Subzero no question! :D sameerrao did a great job of explaining why its such an excellent car, and a 'legend'. I bet this car will end up with some of the most subzero votes of any car on the cool wall! Hail to the king! :D
|
Subzero, just because its an example of what Ferrari trueley is.....
|
I voted cool. But this car is more than cool less than SZ.
|
It's the Ferrari "Subzero" 250 GTO, do I need to say more? :D
|
very close to SZ IMO
|
Oh, the anguish!
This could have been one of my all time favourite cars! It's look! It's performance! It's noise! It's heritage! It's driving balance!
But the prices are unbelievably mad. I will never ever be able to afford one, and for that reason I must stop dreaming about it. I'll just give it a sub zero vote and log out from here. |
What do you say about a car from the '60's that looked like this and went 200 mph.
