Ferrari 612 Spotted at my school... (pics)

Walking to class yesterday morning, half asleep with my ipod on, i see this wonderful sight gleaming out of the corner of my eye. Low and behold, its a Ferrari 612, must be our presdents or provosts... Not sure but i dont really care, its damn beautiful.

That's a 612. 599 isn't out for sale yet, and has a much more angular look to it.

Still, someone at your school is loaded. :)

612 = 2 doors 4 seats, longer wheelbase, 599 = 2 doors 2 seats, shorter wheelbase.

Both have a 5.9 liter 12 straight from the Enzo. :SHOCKED:

YEah its the 612 Scaglietti--the most unattractive of all Ferrari's--still more than I ever could afford tho.

rickeo 03-28-2006 12:05 PM

:uhh:Somehow i knew that.. it was 8:15 in the morning, and this is coming from a college kid, what more do you want, still.... :D:

missinmahseven 03-28-2006 12:10 PM

Ehh, I personally think the 80's TestaRossa was the fugliest of all ferraris (and there are some in the past, by Touring and by Scaglietti himself that I"m not fond of either.)

But PininFarina really screwed the pooch with the TR... :puke:

What college you at?

rickeo 03-28-2006 01:58 PM

Fairleigh Dickinson University, in Madison NJ.

Ahh, good ol' Fairly Ridiculous U. :)

(just kidding, man, heard that from a friend years ago who went there!)

I hope the 612 looks better in person than it does in photos, because in photos it doesn't look very nice AT ALL. Maybe it's like the new Porsche Cayman, looks better in the flesh than in pictures?

As for the TR, I don't think it even comes close to being the ugliest Ferrari ever... But hey, vive la difference.

parked in front of a old haunted mansion, hmm

you need a digital camera

I doubt that the presient or provost are making money like that. I am going to guess that its a rich alumni that they are trying to get some donations from.

rickeo 03-28-2006 04:00 PM

good point, thats a possibility

Moostafa29 03-28-2006 07:16 PM

Not the greatest looking model, but I'd still pimp it.

lesper4 03-28-2006 10:09 PM

private school? sure is a nice ride for a teacher/alumni?

JRichter 03-30-2006 10:42 AM

Yep that's the 612 Spaghetti. Perhaps the most boring looking Ferrari I've ever seen. But I've never seen one in person, so. They are quite similar.

yea, it was early and since they do look so similar i just confused them.

does anyone else see corvette c6 in the 599?

DOMINION 03-30-2006 11:54 AM

Wow thats cool. I see Super Cars every day out here in Vegas. I always see this Red 550 a Yellow and black 360 on Sahara Ave that work at Remax. They have black rims.

mrongero 03-30-2006 11:56 AM

i've seen, and sat in, the 599 in person here in las vegas. i do all the clear bra work for the ferrari dealership in the wynn hotel. a couple of weeks back they had two 599's in the service bay. the only two in the us. both were beat up because they were driving them through the desert for a magazine showcase. anyhow cool car with more horsepower and faster 0-60 time than new 430. also has a adjustable exhaust so you can tone down (or up) the note to your liking. the coolest part is you can adjust the sound from inside the car while driving.

DOMINION 03-30-2006 12:02 PM

He I sent you a TEX bro. I seen you going up W. Sahara lol!

I was at USC a couple months back when I saw an Aston Martin Vanquish parked next to a Skyline GT-R R32. Yep... all in a day's work :aroused:

the sad part is the AM driver probably thinks that skyline is a civic or something.... AM drivers arent usually car people.

notice i said "usually"
