Default F12
Just gotta ask... What are your thoughts on the F12? Who has one, and is it a good compliment to a GT car? I'm smitten!

F12 has to be my favorite recent Ferrari. Prices have been going down over the past few months and will probably hit 612 prices soon... Only heard great things about them

There’s nothing like a V12 Ferrari. While I can’t speak for the F12, I can say the 812 is a masterpiece. The sound alone is worth the price.

Don’t know anyone who owns one, but met a guy who did once and he had great things to say (and it sounds even better in person). It’s definitely my favorite recent Ferrari. I think they cocked up the design with the 812, but the F12 is a great looking car. I’d buy one just for the engine sound and power. It seems absolutely savage. If you haven’t watched the Chris Harris video on YouTube where he burns through tires around Anglesey, watch it.

I own one. Really good car overall. Scary amount of power, good handling and really amazing noise. Mine is yellow and is very visible but you can get a more discreet one in white or silver.

Feel free to PM me should you have any question.

I'd take an F12 over a 488 or 458 any day

I saw a white F12 at the local dealer. Unfortunately out of my price range but it looked amazing. I would take it over a 458 because i think it would compliment a GT3 really well. A 458 is a lot more overlap imo. Go for it!

I have been eyeing the F12 for some time. 2015 can be had for low to mid 200s. Uggh... worried about the actual ownership though.

CJ, what are your thoughts on the F12 vs 3RS? I will be keeping the MT GT3, and thinking to add a 3RS in the future. But tge F12 is tempting.

Love the F12, the engine, the sound, the looks.

Just don’t have the gas budget for a thirsty V12.

I'm not CJ (I wish LOL) but my opinion.
Should make for an incredible duo

you can fly to Vegas for a day and rent one for several hrs and drive it and judge for yourself before dropping this kind of money
a friend of mine , was obsessed with the F12 as his ultimate car etc, did drive in Vegas and overall was not overly impressed

Yeah, lousy gas mileage. That's why so many can't swing a Ferrari.
