About the grading system:
All grades are relative to a car's respective category. For example: an SUV's score cannot be compared to a sportscar's. Different segments are graded differently.

I lean toward and prioritize performance on my scale. Suspension reflects the balance between handling and firmness of the ride, but also varies based on class of car (i.e. a luxury SUV is all about luxury, therefore suspension score is graded based on luxury and not handling). Power is about straight-line speed, which is affected by power-to-weight. Interior takes into account aesthetics, ergonomics, material and build quality. Design is highly subjective and nothing but personal preference. Likewise, so is sound.

I have a 296 on order and was invited to drive it back in August on a brief test drive. As far as speed, my guess is it’s a lot closer to 720 speed than it is a 765LT. From my butt dyno I don’t think it’s going to be much quicker than a 720. Hopefully, I’m wrong and it ends up being even quicker but as it is I’m guessing it’s like a 9.6-9.7 @145MPH in the 1/4

Great review, but the car looks amazing. Ferrari is not supposed to look aggressive. They known for their smooth styling.

I've never seen bianco 296GTB on web. This looks so cool.
I placed an order of rosso imola bi-color roof. I might have bianco.

Great review! Didn’t know the Dino was we the one that started it all!

The thing is... nobody neither in Maranell or Stuttgart cares about drag times 😁... it's all about creating the fastest driveable thing
