    My "new to me" Grigiao Silverstone 2017 488 (4900 miles) will be delivered next week from Mark Motors in Boerne, TX. I am coming straight from a 360. Looking forward to learning more, sharing and having a good outlet to research.

    Question: Have any of you used the VR ECU piggyback boost signal tuner? Looks like a significant jump on 93 octane (788hp). I have them on my new NSX and my new BMW M8 Comp from JB4 and love them.

    Congrats - Grigio Silverstone is the perfect color for a 488 ;)
    Not sure about increasing the power, the jump from a 360 is already huge. This being said, there is no such thing as too much power...

    Agreed. Its one of those color combinations that will always be classic. Looks good even after a long drive as well. Congrats OP

    Great car , Great color , Great to see those ugly Japanese inspired Orange side indicators on American spec cars tinted ! They stand out like dogs balls.
