    REMEMBER! A rosso corsa Ferrari I never boring! I appreciate thus who have the right colors in mind, especially here in Italy best Ferrari Colors are red, yellow and black, but personally I am crazy about blu pozzi. So, fantastic choice and enjoy the red beast!! Great decision to maintain red also the intercooler intake and engine air intake splitter instead of grey carbon :)

    Go drive a 458 and then a 488 and feel the power/handling and tell me its not a HUGE improvement.

    I did and on track and wouldn't say I felt a day and night difference. That's not to say there isn't a significant difference but I just didn't feel it and I think that comes down to how frantic the 458 feels as it revs out.
    But let's not turn it into a which is better thread. Congratulations on your new toy and no one can doubt that the 488 is a amazing car even if some still prefer the 458.

    Very nice interior. Never will be a fan of Rosso Corsa on the modern Ferraris. It flattens the surface too much. If you wanted Rosso Corsa but think it's boring, why didn't you get the new metallic version?

    Yep. It's true. I sold my 458 for my 488 and its a markedly different driving experience. The only people really disputing this are 458 owners. As an owner of both cars I feel the only major similarity is the interior layout and feel

    That makes sense.......wondering why some owners of 488 end up keeping both if they feel the 488 is better in virtually every way?

    Every time I have been in a situation where I bought a newer version and felt it was all around better than the older one I had.....the older one was gone immediately as I had no more reason for it but I am not a collector. Just curious.
