Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 250 SWB vs. 275 GTB/4 vs. 365 GTB/4

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

I'm with John. The 250GT SWB that Sir Stirling Moss drove for Rob Walker was my 
#1 until I saw that?midnight blue?multi million dollar 250GT Zagato with it's 
twin-bubble roof that was parked next to our rental Ferrari in the general 
parking lot just outside the front gate at Spa Francorchamps. It was just 
sitting there in the rain. Go figure. I posted a photo of it on the List a 
while back.

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

A little like having to choose among three supermodels who all are also  
great people and fantastic in bed!  Nevertheless, we must choose:
 
My choice is the 250GT SWB.  Maybe because it was one of the first  Ferraris 
that I ever saw in real life or maybe because it embodies everything  that a 
sports car should be to make it go down the road fast but with nothing  excess.
 
Then the 275 GTB and then the Daytona.
 
Sssshhhh!  If I was ever offered my # 2 or #3 pick, I would never let  them 
know that they weren't #1!  That would just be our little  secret!

The  latest FORZA has an article on a recently restored 275 GTB/4 in a  very
refined and gorgeous dark blue (think of that dark blue 250  GTO...same
color).

The author compared the 275 to the SWB and the  Daytona and made some
interesting notes. The SWB being the smallest was  most nimble and best
balanced. The Daytona was the heaviest but most  powerful. The 275 was a nice
mix of both...right in the middle in terms of  power, and steering heaviness.


He considered the SWB and 275 to be  cars that had good braking compared to
the 365.

In terms of looks, I  think the 275 is nicer than the SWB, but not by much.
The fact that the  Daytona is not in this league is reflected in its price I
think.

As  far as sound, I've heard a Daytona....awesome. I heard an SWB in a  video
and it sounded unlike any car I've ever heard in my life......sick.  Never
heard a 275 but sure it's awesome.

Which of these 3 would you  want to have?

I think a 275 GTB/4 would be my  pick.
