Ferrari 288 GTO owners set to descend on Monterey

Every year during the third week in August, thousands of automotive enthusiasts flock to the Monterey Peninsula for a massive gathering of classic, sports and exotic cars known as the Pebble Beach Weekend. In addition to the various car shows, auctions and races, one of the highlights this year will be a gathering of Ferrari 288 GTOs to celebrate the car's 25th anniversary. 288 GTO specialist Joe Sackey is organizing the event, which will be the first reunion of the car in the United States, and has put out an invite to any and all current owners for what will hopefully be the largest gathering of Ferrari's first supercar of the modern era.

2008 Aston Martin DBS vs. 2009 Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano

`Brock,
I thought you, and member's that EnJoy Exotic
Sports cars, would enjoy the below article

2008 Aston Martin DBS vs. 2009 Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano

Two-Car Libido Enhancer: What you get for $266,350 or $385,419 are babe magnets, but minus the whole point: the back seats.
Should you get on Jeopardy! here’s the likely question to the answer, “A very popular video game about racing”: What is Gran Turismo? Well, that’s one answer.
Gran turismo (or grand touring) is a term cooked up by car-crazy Italians ages ago to describe an automobile that could do it all. A GT combined the handling and high performance of a sports car with the ability to transport two grown-ups and their luggage in comfort across great distances. In the process, GTs also became synonymous with power and beauty, all the way back to the Alfa Romeo 8C-2900B coupes of the 1930s. Generally, GTs are front-engine because that way they have a usable trunk and good visibility. GTs are special, too, often the most glamorous cars their makers produce and among the most expensive.
Which brings us to the two cars you see here, the Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano and the Aston Martin DBS, both of which embody the modern meaning of GT.

Gotta admit, the lines of those classic Ferraris ARE great! Timeless. Wonderful cars. Even tho this is a Monte forum, I don't think anyone here can knock one.
