Post Thinking about getting a Ferrari. which one?

I've been dreaming about owning a Ferrari for a LONG LONG time now. (2+decades) and I think it's time I make up my mind as to which exact model I should dream about next time. I've narrowed down to the following choices.

1) 1970's Dino Ferrari 246GT (yellow on tan)

2) 1980's Testarossa (red on tan)

3) 1990's F355 Spyder (yellow on tan)

4) 2000's Modena Spyder (red on tan)

5) 2008 599GTB (black on red)

Just so there is no confusion abound, I can't possibly afford any of these cars right now. I just want to decide which car I should daydream about in case one day I save some rich dude's life in Newport Beach and he decides to thank me by buying me a Ferrari. So which one should I choose?

PS: Please don't tell me a Corvette Z06, because I can't afford that neither, so why bother wasting a perfectly good fantasy on a GM?

My ex-boss lives in Newport Beach. Maybe you can set up something and save his life. Two years ago, he walked in the Newport Porsche dealer and bought 7 new Porsches, including a 200k TechArt 911 Turbo.

back to your daydream....I always like the 1985 GTO or the BB512.

Dude, i say you get a 360 and slam a twin turbo on it. I will take you to about 650 hp at 9000 rpm. Think about it...

I like the 360 better than the 430 for design reasons. The 599 seems like a very nice car, it certainly has the heart of the beast. Still I don't know if the 599GTB is the type of car you take out on a sunset cruise or run the tip of your fingers over the curvature on the rear fender. I've always got a soft spot for the mid engine lay out.

As far as twin turbo a 360 - nah~ Ferraris are not about speed. The looks and noise are enough for me. I would save the speed demon fun for karts or 2 wheeler motor sport.
