Yep, if I had my choice of any Ferrari, the '67 275 GTB 4 cam would definitely be up at the top of the list. Of course, I wouldn't object to a 155MM or one of the 250p cars either...

The 550 is my absolute favorite F car. Fantastic!

FR Ferraris have been this way for some time (10 years maybe?) - it's a very effective way to balance the weight distribution a bit.

For any of you Ferrari nuts out there, if you have Speedvision or know someone who does, you just have to see a show that they air every once-in-a-while called "Designed for Victory". It's hosted by Alain de Cadenet who is one of Speedvision's announcers during road races (former race car driver). Anyway, I've seen one about Porsche and one about Ferrari. The one about Ferrari is just incredible. Just make sure you've got a towel handy because you're going to be having to wipe the drool off your chin the whole hour.

RodneyK,

Saw that show, it was great. I wish I could get to take each of those cars for a little spin.
