Default Sunday lunch pic ... F6 / Ferrari

Joined a mate of mine for lunch at Cedar Creek Winery last Sunday and when I saw our two cars together for the first time, I thought I should take a pic just to show what a classy F6 looks like next to his everyday plain old Ferrari Superamerica. LOL

hmmm not a big fan of the 575. If it were a F430 it'd be another story.

What is even funnier is that the Ferrari weighs the same as the F6 :

Great pic, makes the F6 look a bit ordinary, and that is not an easy thing to do.

Some great comments guys.
In all seriousness, I have taken the Ferrari for an extensive drive and off the line the F6 nails it. Unfortunately, being on public roads, I couldn't take it further up the speedo, but printed tests show the F6 would get done as the speed increased.

F6 would give the Superamerica a good run until about 160kmh at which point the Ferrari would pull away

You aren't serious are you? That Fezza would destroy that F6, well before 160 km/h. It's one thing suggesting that a F6 might have a chance against a RS6 or M5, but to seriously compare a 4 door sdean to a purpouse built supercar is a ludicrous notion.
