Yeah I see a little of it in the roof line. But the front fenders...wow...Vette

CF dash.. yes please

And the "Oh Shit" handle for the passenger is a nice touch

And that is the nicest "Pontiac" GTO Ever!

Saw one of these on the street three days ago, same gorgeous red colour.

My erection was probably visible to the people around me.

Also, with the two tone body/roof combo it does not appear to vettish.

Jeffie,
I did the same; swore I will own one of these one day.

The video is the 599XX which is a race only car. Your pictures are of the GTO "concept" not yet really a car (paying homage to GTO's of yesteryear; ala 288 GTO)

The one to have that is available now is the 599 HGTE. I hope they end up putting the GTO into production. The 288 was a badass as well.

Gorgeous car. Never thought Ferrari would copy Chevrolet though..

I hate how everyone keeps saying corvette this corvette that, I'm seeing it on many different forums.

It looks like a corvette because you see 2398409234 poor man ferrari's running around beeing driven from teenagers to grandmas They're called corvettes. Just because you them often doesn't mean they lead the way on designs.

Check out this old corvette

There's an auto and then there's a DCT a true manual transmission that is shifted by a computer.

there's a big difference.

exactly it remove's alot of the errors caused by the drivers resulting in faster basically perfect shifts with out the power loss of a Automatic transmission

Anyone who dislikes them needs to say F1 cars suck.

IMO, the car is not set up well for the ring at all. watching the vid, the rear suspension is WAY too stiff for the ring IMO. I bet there's more time in the car with a little more suspension work.
