Clocked - What color is that?? Is that just the standard red?? Looks ruby red from that picture.

Beautiful car. I heard it has so much power you have to be careful not to lose the rear tires

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.

The F12 will arrive about 2 months before my GT3 is planned to arrive. In summary GT3 ordered November 2013 expected May 5, now expected September 5th. F12 ordered end of April expected to arrive September 2014, now expected end of July!! You make the call but Ferrari wins by a long shot.

Have not determined yet if I will NOT take or TAKE the GT3. I would like to drive one before I make the final call.

When the F12 arrives, my productivity at work will drop to Zero!!

The color is Rubino Micalazato. It is not a standard color thus had to pay more for the paint. The picture tells me if it was worth it or not and yes it was (owners point of view).

Question for all, you have seen my Ferrari and will post pics when I get it, and I have a White 2014 GT3 coming:

Question:
Take the Porsche when it arrives or Leave the Porsche behind?

Clocked - you can drive my GT3 if you would like. It should be here in Aug. I know how meticulous you are with your cars just from our email exchanges. Just let me know

Gary, totally different cars for different needs. The F12 like all front engine V12 Ferrari's drive large. It drives like a big car. The GT3 is a tossable toy for spirited highway track driving.

Keep them both.

Nick, my initial thinking is to keep both. It will depend does the GT3 show up in September or much later?

I personally like the look of my McLaren, I see myself driving it a lot...
That's beautiful . The wheels and stance definitely make the car...

Super gorgeous looking color on a phenomenal car. My response to your question is to take the GT3 but this is assuming you will track it and thrash it around. I wouldn't track the Ferrari. I tracked mine once at VIR at 70%, just for the experience but otherwise wanted to keep it pristine looking, 100% of the time. If the cars are just for street driving, not sure the GT3 would add much, if at all.

I question this Nick. I've driven the 991 GT3 and it is no longer a small tossable car IMO.

Not a chance, I placed an order for my F12 at the end of April (2014) was to be delivered in September, guess what the Factory sent me two weeks ago? Picture of my completed car. Hope to see it the end of this month.

My Dealer was telling me white is the new Grey. "A couple years ago white cars would sit on their lots; now they are the fasted selling color".

I am not at all putting grey down this was just a quote.

I wonder if the Maroon Metallic on the gt3 will look as good as that red hue on his f12?

something really special about seeing your just born car at the factory... If you don't mind me asking, what did you have to go through to get on the list for an f12 Tracked?

Calixio. This was my fourth Ferrari I purchased from the dealer. Ferrari dealers do treat repeat customers very well when it comes to "what number you are on the unofficial list"

Never paid over MSRP.

I have seen the maroon metallic on a Porsche. There is a large difference between the two.

Thanks for your comments.
