Its all the rage these days, and the R35 with its Ring lap time has just beem destroyed by a rwd Fezz 599 GTO, by over 30 seconds. According to EVO magazine they are going to build it and call the 599XXX the 599 GTO (as opposed to GTB)

So Nissan needs to cull some weight, and find some grunt for the R35, shoudlnt be too hard. They need to build an N1 model, who cares what they call it...they need to get rid of the playstation, leather, all the crap that slows it down and take on the raw prod builts coming out....for now i love that rwd yank muscle and Fezz power is faster then AWD limos.

no country in the world today would allow this car to be road registered. i'm sorry Ferrari. bragging that your stripped out non-road legal car beats a street-registered GTR in full trim is pretty lame.

next...

I don't know if you read the articles but no where does it say that they are bragging about beating the GTR. None of them also say that it would be road registered either...

Will post up pics of the 599 FXX I saw at the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago. The noise they make is insane. You rent them from Ferrari for around 1.5m Eruo per annum and they turn up at a track of your choice with full pit crew. They take it away at the end of the day, until your next track day. Beyond that I'm not sure of the details but it's an awesome bit of kit. Unfortunately it never passed me on the track (due to non coinciding laps.....or just my sheer speed?) as a flyby would have been awesome.

The 599FXX is NOT a road car.

Correct...BUT the 599 GTO IS a road car. The GTO is the road going version of the XXX, incorporating lots of the development parts from the XXX!!!

Grab some of the recent issues of EVO and from the Fezz website...

Ferrari's new extreme V12 berlinetta, the 599 GTO, delivers a lap time of just 1 minute and 24 seconds at Fiorano, making it the fastest road-going model in our history. This limited edition special series of just 599 is the new pinnacle of Prancing Horse sportiness and has benefited to an enormous degree from technological transfers from the track. Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers' experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version.

Per Annum?!?! Fark!!

Fark you are such a GTR hater, not surprising seeing you are a one eyed porker fan. Starting to get tired of your constant anti GTR prattle, go somewhere else.

In the spirit of the thread I add my love for this particular Fezza, its a sweet sweet thing.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
