Any 12C or 458 thread seems to go the same way, degenerating into pointless "Ferrari is better" or "McLaren is better" arguments.
The two manufacturers have built cars that represent their companies' personalities. One the one hand you have the bold visual statement and engine characteristics that you would expect from the Italians, on the other the less visually dramatic, engineering-led approach from Woking. Even the factories these cars are made in reflect these differences.
Neither one is better than the other, they're just different; the Ferrari appeals more to some folk, the McLaren more to others.

Saw one of these outside a bar in NYC last night, same colour, definitely suits it. Me want!
Did it have a number 3 on the back?
I didn't want to leave my beer so i glanced through the window. Do you know it then? I've seen a fair few around and about now, had a good look at a grey one in my local bodyshop, taxi damage to the front bumper.....!

...and here we have an understated prancing horse, patiently awaiting its owner;




cool
And hands up to the owner who specced it in that colour. It’s just a shame that come resale his or her car will be worth significantly less than the same car is Rosso red with a crème interior frown
