Which one is your cup of tea? Do you prefer the Enzos wicked straight line speed? The 458s knife edge balance? The 430 twins' forgiving manners? Or the F40's sharp, uncompromised, "im gonna kick your 🤬 if you screw up" brutality? For me, it has to be the F40. I had a model of this car when i was little, it has always been my favorite Ferrari, i love how uncompromising it sounded, and when i saw it was in GT5 i was ecstatic. This car is so bent on kicking your butt, and so harsh on your mistakes (especially without ABS) that it makes the hard to drive Murcielago seem as quaint as a bull in a ballerina gown. Even drag racing the car is not that easy, if you think that this car is a gas it and fo affair, its not, dont let the turbos build boost, let the revs drop by accident, or dont launch with enough revs, and the car will immediately bog on you, and your competitors car will be a faint dot in the windshield. But get it right, and the car will destroy a Viper SRT10. Mastery with this car does not come easy, but get it right, and it will reward with an unfiltered experience and sense of involvement that no Ferrari in the game can hope to touch.
 
512 BB- Monday
430- Tuesday
458- Wednesday
430 Scuderia- Thursday
Enzo- Friday
F40- Saturday
330 P4- Sunday

Nuff said.
 
The Scud....love its balance and that awesome noise it makes, then 2nd would be the f40; looks, sound, and a challenge to drive.
 
Like many others I've always loved the f40 ...I'd go into detail but ZR1fan pretty much nailed it!

The 458 is also my favourite Ferrari of recent years. It's a good workhorse in the game too!
 
Ugh, tough choice, I love all four of the mentioned Ferarris.

But I truly love the classic and yet beauitful F40 and like ZR1 said its performance can scare Mucielagos, Viper, Z06/ZR1 Vettes, Skyline GTRs, Supras, 911 GT2/GT3s Diablo SVs, heck even a Enzo and a F50 into a garage and they will cower in fear when a F40 passes by:trouble:đź‘Ť.

Then second comes the 430 Scuederia. :D
 
F40, Scuderia and 458 are in the same top position IMHO. Unable to seperate them! Enzo falls a little back due to its understeering behaviour. But what an engine it has!
 
458 for me. Such a nice drive.

Of course, I'd probably take a Ferrari F355 convertible just so I could emulate the guy in The Fast and The Furious at every stop light.

More than you can afford, pal. *vroom* *vroom* Ferrari

That movie was hilarious.
 
F-40, but I'm partial to that car since I have one I salvaged a while back and still trying to fix.

The California is actually a really good drive.

It is, well I have to take one of mines out of the garage for a spin on the 'Ring then. Some of my cars I've never driven yet in my garage, so I'll put it on my 'to drive' list. đź‘Ť

You are a lucky dude, but is it a real one or a scale? I love to see the progress of the F40 restored to its glory.
 
Both 430 are clear winners for me. Perfect balance between over- and understeer and they take great skill to tame and as such are highly rewarding in the long run. I also love how easy it is to countersteer with them when the rear end is sent flying, which isn't always the case with highpowered MR cars (like 458 and Enzo for instance). I use both cars fairly equally actually; yeah, the Scuderia is a bit more refined and slightly faster, but I also love the charming wildness of the regular 430, which is just savage when accelerating out of a corner on low gears.

The 458 is like glue to the road, and I love its 7-speed transmission, but I can never quite get over its understeer. I do get great lap times with it, but the understeer is still a perpetual annoyance for me, as I never seem to be able to work around it properly. Enzo is just one huge pile of understeer and I don't care for it at all.

Maybe it's because I lack awareness and appreciation of F40's historical significance (or I'm just a rubbish driver), but I sure don't enjoy driving it very much in GT5. In my estimation, the turbo lag is insane, the gear ratio is highly impractical, it never feels stable on the road and behaves overall unpredictably. Same car races with it online occur quite frequently, which has forced me to learn to drive it properly. However, still no luck in making me "get" this car even after a lot of practice. =(

(Although not mentioned in the thread title, California would be my second favorite after the 430s, to me it's basically like 430 but with engine in front.)
 
F40!, drove it seriously for the first time last night, wow. It is so direct, I was expecting it to be a pig to drive, not at all.

I like the 512 for it's looks, the F430 and the Scud for being so easy to drive, the 458 is almost perfection, the Enzo is a monster, but the F40 is fun, just total fun.

A Ferarri FF and California?!

You mad bro? :lol::lol::lol:

Those two Ferarri need a lot of power to keep up with the big boys. :trouble::sly:

Well, the California is probably my favourite of the current Ferraris here anyway. Though I also like the 512BB. Really though none of the others are bad in any way.

And I don't know why you say that an FF needs more power. It's got a 660bhp V12.

I was kind of thinking the same thing :lol:
 
Ferrari F40, is simply my favorite Ferrari to drive :drool:

The 458 comes a close second (although it shifts too slow compared to the real car).

The Enzo would have come third, if only it sounded like this :mad:
 
I'd say the Enzo. The F40 brung Ferrari to a new level of hypercar but really came on a level of their own with the Enzo. You may be hating of its handling but that only makes it more fun to drive for me. It wasn't named after the founder of Ferrari for nothing...

Umm... No. Unless it is stock it might. Otherwise in a drag race the F40 is by far the slowest of all the Enzos, 458s and 430s.
 
I'd say the F40, looks gorgeous.

Testet also all of these cars bone stock:
