Last week Shelby called, knowing that my Dad is a bit of a Ferrari fan bored) and asked "Is your Dad interested in an F12?" I asked and he was kind of a "maybe". Since we're sharing this building now as he is a bored retiree, I asked him if he was interested in owning half an F12. And now we share an F12. :facepalm: Shelby quickly sealed the deal and it was done that day. I like to think the V12 and transmission is mine and he owns the luggage bench, seats and cupholder.
This is a very, very serious performance car. It's way too cold to even begin to explore the limits of its performance, but you can tell this engine is immensely powerful and the transmission somehow seems even quicker and more explosive than the 458. I hope they never drop the V12 because the sound this car creates is absolutely stunning. Very smooth as well. It's also beautifully appointed and has CF everywhere. I do think the steering is too fast, but all the new Ferraris seem to be that way. It's just lightning quick and you have to recalibrate your steering input. But man, what a car. I don't think I'll ever be able to get down with the way Ferrari operates, but you simply cannot argue with the cars they are producing right now.
Here it is:
