which do you prefer? The LFAs precision response and forgiveness? The SLS blunt force? Or the 599s raw power? I know the 599 is a bit of a stretch, but folks we also have to remember here the LFA, although comparable to the SLS, is more expensive than the 599, which has basically the same purpose, thusly inviting the ferrari right in. I have to say the 599 on this one, its great in a cruise room, but when you downshift a couple gears and let the thing go it rewards with that ferrari sound track and pretty good handling on sport softs, the reason it beats the LFA (by a hair) for me? Low end Torque, its more explosive out of corners and in one race this actually made the difference in a last corner catch in the 599s favor.. Plus something about the 599 just attracts me to it, its my favorite modern Ferrari
 
599, blast of a car and drop dead gorgeous, not that the SLS is unattractive. However, the LFA is like the unwanted child of a Supra and a Lamborghini.

LOL and also gotta agree on everything you just said.
 
SLS by far. That car is the best supercar of 2010/11. Its a blast to drive at stock with the tail sliding but easily to handle. Its also really fast at stock and no understeer at all unlike some super cars cough lamborghini cough. With some slight tuning (no increase in bhp) it can easily become a track beast. Still trying to tune mine like the SLS in the AMG academy that PD tuned becuase that handles like dream.

599 looks beautiful and has by far the best interior out of the others maybe even faster but at the corners I feel it has too much torque which means it slides much more but is harder to control than the SLS

LFA again really quick and is also really quick in the corners. This car would easily beat both of the above cars in most tracks (with me driving) however the interior and overall design is not very appealing to me and its almost like the Nissan GTR. Yes its quick but its not that fun to drive ( in a game at least).

Maybe its just me but i find the LFA a heck of a lot of fun to drive.. Well at least when the revs are high and youre clipping your apexes correctly, lose the momentum and youre more dead than an asthmatic cat running the NYC marathon.. The SLS couldve gotten the nod too if it didnt fry its tires after two laps when i push it hard, hence me giving it to the 599
 
The 599 is stunning to look at and fully tuned make it a fast accelerating car too. I'm going to drive it now :)

If I'm going on Top Gear, the SLS.
If I wanna make my friends cry, the LFA.
If I wanna get laid, the 599.

Everything else is won or lost by the driver.

I love the SLS over the others and I'm sure you would get laid if you are driving an SLS too.
 
I love the 3 cars that you mention, but for me it as to be the LF-A. I would be happy with any of the other two cars, but just the sound of the LF-A makes shiver.
The LF-A has everything I like in a car. It handles great, as I mention it as a extremely good sound, and it isn't bad on the looks either.
 
The 599. No competition. It may not be one of Ferrari's best lookers (not that it isn't gorgeous), but boy does it have power. It's like a car for a Gentleman who wants to go fast. 👍

The SLS has its merits too. Reincarnation of a legend.

The LFA is just a mess full of 'meh'
 
LFA has to be one of the best sounding cars ever made. A SERIOUSLY underated car. A lot of people dont give it its due credit due to its Japanese/Toyota/Lexus badge.

The jay leno tank car will get you a foursome.

I havent really driven the 599 much so I cant speak on it.
But between the SLS and the LFA.
With a wheel the LFA and controller SLs...
 
With the LFA I drive with serious face, with the 599 I drive with even more serious face, but with the SLS I drive grinning all the way
 
I swear I would use the LFA constantly if I could put a wing on it. 0 downforce on that car is just the bane of its existence. its not planted at all

They really need to add the nurb edition to the game. front and rear downforce oh god, what a blessing that would be
 
Why does everyone say the LFA looks bad? I like the styling of it, especially when you paint it in a bright colour.
 
As a die-hard Ferrari fan, you'd think it'd have to be the 599 for me. However as the SLS is the only one I have got my grubby mitts on in real life, and remembering the enormous grin that it left on my face I would have to choose the SLS AMG. It looks slightly odd but fantastic at the same time. The gullwing doors are inconvenient (unless you have arms like an orang utan) yet unbelievably cool. It sounds awesome too. If any of you get the chance, go and watch some GT racing. The SLS GT cars sound like an earthquake and volcanic eruption lubricated with the purest of honey.
 
I know the cars can more, but it's still a good comparison, as it was the same driver with all three of them (me) and I spent a similar amount of time with all three, so if someone's interested, check out the Nordschleife laps of these cars: (All bone stock, no aids except abs=1, grip set to real)

599: 7.27.803


SLS AMG: 7.23.191


LFA: 7.22.637

At first I find the SLS unattractive and look abit weird, but it started to grow on me and now I just love it, yeah the engine noise was amazing, it growls. The gullwing doors might be inconvenient but I heard that we could get the Richard Hammond's handle as optional extra so if I win lottery tomorrow the car I would buy would be the SLS (I'm around 5'9")
