[@NickMurray]

What we learnt from this video. I am a neglectful father, there is a 955 Ferrari, and a Maxima is still faster than a 600HP sports car.

[@thomastsui1384]

I guess I have buy more t-shirts to bail Nick out of jail for gorilla abuse!

[@denvernow7294]

Why say girl mode? I personally know 10 or more girls who could kick your ass at driving. I almost sub'ed, but your sexist comment changed my mind. Thanks for making it an easy decision. 👍

[@stevenw97]

You said “955” at 3:04 lol.

[@NickMurray]

I am a mess!

[@44R4V]

He was talking about the 1st gen Cayenne LOL

[@lama6736]

He much like myself is a little lisdexic

[@denmark39]

Nick Murray dyslexia? I am myself

[@venom5809]

William may forgive you for not bringing him but I won't. LOL

[@kdoran709]

venom5809 damn right haha

[@BlackHorseGarage]

Thanks for stopping by, Nick. It was great meeting you! Feel free to stop by whenever you'd like!

[@DoWorkExotics]

Nick I loved the video! You need to have a go in my Ferrari 550 Maranello with the gated shifter. V12 Ferrari’s are a special breed!

[@thefridgeman]

especially when the (Italian) electrics are playing havoc with the car.

[@NickMurray]

I do indeed!!!

[@DoWorkExotics]

thefridgeman haha tell me about it!

[@vladikostek]

Love Jason Castriota's design of the 599, those winglets built into the body were so iconic and you can see cars like the Ford GT have that design built in too now!

[@axelhofmann4897]

Remember Nick, you need to put a dead body in the trunk of Italian cars to have optimal grip!

[@LamboPlays]

I love the 599, F12 & 812. Ultimate cars IMO

[@MTobin1000]

Congrats on the drag race win Nick !!! The exhaust note was stellar in the Ferrari. (Mike in Ohio)

[@yanisinkosumi2482]

A brief moment when you introduced the Black Horse garage I was a bit jealous because I live in Norway and a glorius garage like that is unthinkable of here. Looking forward to you showing us what else they have and can do. Really looking forward to that. Keep up the good work Nick. I have been following you several years now and I love to see how much improvement in qualitiy you have had, and also how natural and relaxed, down to earth and a nice person you are is easy seen. Great video as always. Shame on you for poor William though. That is a minus :-) Next time let William drive and you can sit in the garage.

[@NickMurray]

Thank you Yanisin

[@rodasrodas]

Nice color combo on this 599. Very cool. Thank you

[@jwwatches1234]

GREAT VIDEO nick

[@karlsandin4515]

What a work of art mate

[@skidave74]

Great review. As always. Love the combination of this being a more modern Ferrari than the prior generation, while remaining a bit mechanical and “less” computerized than the brand new ones.

[@FezzaYT]

Great video and lovely car but not the same watching it without commentary from William.

[@jefffenn5016]

Now you need to review its direct competitor, the LP640 murielago!

[@tyronevanwyk3652]

Congratulations on that win. Wrong team😃 though. Great video. Love the sound.

[@andromedazoowitski5903]

I like the "Nickname" for the GTB @ 3:03. Awesome video Neck.

[@porscheguy09]

He definitely said "955". I had to rewind it to check if I heard him right.

[@DwainDwight]

such a great car. looks great in black too.

[@danweeden4713]

Nick, I very much enjoyed this video and I checked out the Black Horse Garage site. Of course it's important that they get some feedback from their participation with you. I see they list the tested Ferrari as price reduced. I have a feeling that after your video gets some exposure, that unit will move. Good luck with everything. From an old guy Canadian.

So..... what's the NickScore?

[@rizanaghawi]

Just from the intro exhaust clip, i know im going to need my headphones for this

[@AP-eh6gr]

same here man

[@narga6084]

Connecticut in the house!!!

[@MichaelNNguyen]

Would like to see you do car review of the 2018 BMW M5 w/all wheels drive.

[@JBsC6]

The 599 is bad ass...very cool ride...expensive but sounds glorious....front engine ferraris are fun...although the new twin turbo portifino might be a nice choice too...Nick wants a 599!

[@5eraph9000]

Hey Nick, what's the retail on one of those?

[@stavura]

Gotta love that ferrari 955!

[@hf7188]

Never was a fan of the 599, with the exception of the GTO, but this one in black looks really really tasty, specially in that Autumn light. That said, given that the F1 gearboxes are a bit of maintenance nightmare from what i hear, and the manuals i would bet are being stored for collection, i would wait a couple more years and get a F12 instead.... if i wasn't a broke ass compared to those that can afford these beasts. :D

[@aaronw.332]

Hugo Fernandes saw one at local dealer with stick shift listed for 399.000€ a couple weeks (not years !) Ago Well its not there anymore so i guess its sold For 399.000€ (?!)

[@chriscooper3384]

The 599 has the last iteration of F1 system called the F1-Superfast trust me it's awesome

[@chriscooper3384]

Sounds like his F1 system needs servicing

[@JundaComputersGmbH]

You know you can pay $20,000 and buy a brand new 6 speed manual transmission from Ferrari and convert a paddle shifted automatic into manual?

[@henryzhang9915]

love so much of your videos, you are funny guy nick.

[@iantownsend500]

These looks excellent in Silverstone grey

[@johnchen3]

How many speeding tickets do you have now?

[@TedwardDrives]

GT monster for sure...Would love to drive coast to coast in a car with this spec. somewhat subtle in black

[@treborheminway1196]

I guess it's been William slowing you down, all along. Congrats!

[@secondchance4498]

Come on Nick, I didn't think you would be seen dead in anything less than the GTO, :p Thanks for the video, great as always.

[@vatsalbhatnagar4351]

what ferrari would u own in place of your porsche for around the same cost ??

[@NickMurray]

355 MT still my fav

[@ushabhatnagar4579]

Custom Lego Creations but the nightmares that come with that car ??!?!

[@DoWorkExotics]

I have to agree with Nick, the 355 is one of the best sounding Ferrari ever built.

[@knightmarel]

The sound of the V12 is just right

[@SuperGolfguy]

Review the California T... such a perfect looking car.

[@olavo1mc]

A black V12 Ferrari. That is what I call presence.

[@cstm39]

I'd love to own one with manual

[@timmietz]

cstm39 you can! Last one sold at Amelia Island for $509k

[@GY9944]

That garage IS THE DREAM WORKPLACE OF MINE

[@sonnicman]

Love the guys over at Blackhorse. Shame you didn't bring William with you, John could have put him to work with Manny out in the shop area lol. :0)

[@984SAJ]

Ferrari 955! Wow! That’s a rare beast! Some say , that Nick even drove Mercedes C62 AMG! :) ;)

[@jarpen]

Hi Nick, I have an advice for you. When you do a drag race, choose a specific spot where you start from, for example "let's start from this white sign". I've seen plenty of such spots in your video. Just look at 5:45, there is a sign you could start from. This would prevent any jumpstarts or mistakes in counting (very often a second from "one" to "go" is shorter than from "two" to "one")... Just one of you would have to drive at certain speed while the other would keep matching it. Eaaaaasy :)

[@NickMurray]

Nah, this is just for fun no science intended : )

[@curtisimo032]

Doesn't the gearbox shift more smoothly when you are in comfort mode?

[@thefridgeman]

nope. single clutch systems are clunky and weird until you put them in sport+ or race and give the engine the full beans.

[@RossEnzo]

Wow Nick finally is stepping it up! Too bad the F1 box is trash

[@glider1232]

Mozart piano concerto #21, 2nd movement?

[@HeidiandFranny]

Fun video. Heidi

[@TheBobodrink]

To get that experience you talking about, only the GT 911s can provide that. The other base models are not meant to get looks or perform etc.

[@jonmichaels362]

Nick, how tall are you (Imperial measurement if you please)? I'm in the market for a 911.2 GTS and want to be sure I have enough headroom at 6'1".

[@danielallocca7770]

Jon Michaels I’m not nick - but I’m about 6 ft 1” and quite fat at 250lbs and I fit quite nicely in the 991.2 gts.

[@NickMurray]

Yep you are fine, I am 6.0

[@jonmichaels362]

Strunz0 Cars thanks! 6’1” & two fiddy all muscle I am sure! :)

[@cleanasdirt6832]

Nick Murray 6’ 5” with the afro 🇨🇦

[@computiNATEor]

Ah, my dream car. Lovely.

[@Sometungsten]

Any shop with a wood floor gets my interest up!

[@paulchen508]

The video is 3 years old and there are some with warranty for sale

[@Count.Dracula46]

Ferrari engines have always been the best ones. The greatest masterpieces hands down. Haters can keep disagreeing

[@EA40]

Haha so I saw this in my recommendations and I thought the browsing cookies went crazy, because I was just looking at 599s yesterday.

[@edyb2653]

It’s not about the speed alone, it’s also about the style. And there Ferrari gets beaten by a 911 every time. Porsche does not need the extravaganza in design Ferrari needs to launch a new model. Porsche has pedigree. Either you Love it, or you hate it. If you Love Porsche, you’ll never need another mistress. The 911, she will keep you high and satisfied all the time. Thx for the vid, Nick! Good luck with your new cooperation with the garage. I think you will both benefit from it. Cheers, Irwin

[@glider1232]

They're both great..

[@paulthomson9709]

Edy B totally agree with you . If you enjoy driving and know how to drive fast you buy a porsche . If your pretentious and want to show off how much money you got you buy a ferrari .

[@edyb2653]

Paul Thomson : Thx Paul! We always bump into the eternal Love-hate relationship (mostly hate, lol) between those who love Porsche and the Ferrari afficianados. A Porsche driver who likes Ferrari is a “contradictio in terminis”. As they say. Nick knows that. Actually, he gave us all a hint when he left his toy pet in that garage and told us it would be queer, since he loves Ferraris. What Nick really ment to say was: you must be a Gorilla to like a Ferrari! A message Well Hidden, Nick. Lmao, really.

[@glider1232]

That's usually the kind of simplistic response that "fan boys" give without an actual empirical insight. I have spent a lot of time with both over the last 40 years, and really like and respect the history, engineering and method of how both get to the final product. They are both SO much fun to spend time in.. The engines, handling, braking, the engine sound.And the styling. I love how Porsche uses the form follows function method and simplistically styles and "evolves' the designs. And, of course, the classic Italian designs of Ferrari.. So many iconic shapes over the years.. I like them both, and it's perfectly normal..

[@edyb2653]

Glider 123: I cannot argue with what you’re saying, since I never had the urge to drive a Ferrari of any model. What I do know, is that you can’t really compare them as cars. They are two of a kind. And I will give Ferrari graciously the honor of being faster. And louder.

[@twagn]

I bet that Focus wanted to race...be careful

[@57gord]

Nice touch those (faux ?) wooden floors in that garage..

[@BMWD4]

Have owned both Ferrari’s and Porsche’s and I still love Porsche for day to day application. You should talk about Ferrari poor maintenance and costs of ownership

[@ggarrison1087]

nick please find an FF to review. gracias

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Man they have quite a collection there! Excited for future videos of their cars too. Love the 599 and it's wonderful sounding V12 but the dated tech keeps me from wanting one these days. Now it's the F12 and 812 I want.

[@jabiqq]

How did you manage to get overtaken by a Nissan Maxima? Did you put it in reverse?

[@NickMurray]

It took me fair and square

[@MattH-wg7ou]

God, its gorgeous.

[@johnjones5631]

Nick you should buy a used Ferrari for the channel! I'm sure you have an extra 140k somewhere

[@lucaspiresr]

This car is elegant as fuck.

[@Corsa15DT]

If you think the 955 is a whole different level you should try the F13

[@Number27]

Sounds absolutely sensational!!! This or a 355 Nick? Same gearbox as my Maserati. Awful!

[@NickMurray]

355 MT is my aim

[@pancon5]

We totally understand, if I had kids, I'd leave them home unattended for a chance to drive a Ferrari! One of the reds that the GTB had as an option is the most beautiful paint finish I've ever seen from up close.

[@ibelushi]

How reliable is this Ferrari compared to the Porsche?

[@JF-wz2ls]

Just think Nick...a nice 599 is only a little more than you paid for your C4S too! LOL

[@jobydog8399]

Can’t believe you left him in the garage by himself. He’s got feelings you know

[@johnomahoney7755]

A very sexy car!

[@claviclenotch1876]

" No William, No Peace!!"

[@bkeen7013]

Know William, know peace!

[@bjcliving386]

YEEEEHAAAAA!!!!!!!

[@andershifdt6847]

Uh, the 599 manual is ALMOST a collectible? Bruh, a 599 with a manual sold at RM Sotheby's last year for over $600.000, THREE TIMES the price of an equivalent paddle-box 599. It's completely ridiculous.

[@NoirSavant]

You’re a left lane cruiser

[@squidwardshouse67]

[@f0rg0rr]

Do you like deviated stitching? Can't tell

[@abolfazlg8666]

the 955 ?? :)) 3:04

[@1seipai]

Poor William. He'll never forgive you. Well he might forgive but he'll not forget!

[@petegrimes4648]

I would,think the low end torque on turbo 911 with pdk would beat the rari 0-60 easily

[@coacopuff]

Nick you should get 911 TS or 911 GT2 RS to compare ferrari then ferraris arent that great

[@Pete762]

what a car

[@w-james9277]

My favourite Ferrari is the 458 Speciale. That thing is pure sex!

[@malicalik]

this and the F430 are the best looking modern ferraris. period

[@ashishparmar5314]

aladins cave?

[@288gto7]

It has multi point injection not direct injection

[@dopamining7621]

This is the last Ferrari that doesn`t look like it was designed by, or for, a 12 year old boy.

[@NA0533]

It's not thumbs up Nick, you are driving pretty slow in a left lane :)

[@manman464]

3:05 a 955 ferrari 😂

[@VinArchives]

Don’t mention or try to compare your entry level Porsche Carrera to any Ferrari if you do make sure to compare the Porsche GTs or Turbo S models

[@Hazulkar]

The big problem with Ferraris in my opinion is they're never 4WD, at least not any of the interesting models: 360, 430, 458, 488, 599 GTB and so on.

[@TheTpatts]

Nick, come drive my S5 please! Im in Northern Virginia btw.

[@squidwardshouse67]

Is it a manual?

[@atom999]

Nick you have to get a Ferrari in your life! #youtubeMoney haha Imagine all the content you could create. Nothing better than attending a Ferrari meetup, seems like the fashion sense stopped in 90s ;)

[@waitwuttt]

someone get salomindrin in here he loves porsche so much he hates ferraris

[@sullyFL]

Did anyone else get a Porsche ad? #advertisingdoneright

[@Tothefloor]

Drag Race at 5:45 Your welcome ;)

[@Corsa15DT]

Are you sure that 911 is a genuine Porsche, not some replica? It has never beaten another car in a drag race. That cannot be a Porsche!

[@michaelking4578]

Did you say you put it in girl mode?

[@philipbentzen7427]

he did not have the right gear when the drag race started. he did not have it in race mode :/

[@biffy7]

Ah, a v12 Ferrari. One day, one day. If you will, compare and contrast the acceleration between the Corvette and the Ferrari. Use big words.

[@johncreedon1833]

Poor William..
