Modern Classic

There were two particular models that really got me into cars. One was the F355 GTS. The other was the Escort Cossie. I lusted for one in Imperial Blue. And if the Lottery numbers ever came up I'd be sorely tempted to finally realise the dream.

Then I'd probably have an RS500 motor built for it. FIREdevil.gif

Well the Challenge may well be different, but I was never keen on the 360, and the Challenge wasn't much faster round the track (slower than both the GT3 and the CSL). Apart from that for this thread I waned a car that would suit my everyday needs of popping to the shops and doing the long miles and I dont think there is a car id rather be in right now to do that than the 599. Looks arnt everything but the performance its set to have should be mind blowing. 169144-ok.gif

I think it'll be the only F360 to really hold on to a fraction of it's value due to the rarity and the popularity among the real cognoscenti. I haven't actually seen one accurately timed against the CSL, Top Gear claimed it pipped the GT3 but I'm never sure how trustworthy their figures are. EVO never got a chance to lap it at Bedford because it broke noise regs. It's my choice because of the character and focus on pure performance, the Enzo would appeal to me but only for the V12.

F599 is a hell of a machine, but unlikely to be revered as classic, original F550 however, if the spec was right, could be in with a shout. 169144-ok.gif

Will you have a look at an F430 CS if they do one Woppum?

The F430 Challenge would probably pip the 997 GT3 as my fun car, but for every day I cant currently think of a better car than the 599. Fantastic 169144-ok.gif

Good man, and interesting reading. 169144-ok.gif

0.5 of a second quicker than the CSL around Hockenheim but 6 seconds slower around the 'ring? Gotta be something up there if you ask me. Maybe the CSL had a good day, those Pilot Sports are supposed to be very twitchy in the wet. You've got one haven't you? What's your take on it?

GT3 RS is clearly fastest though.
