    With all the commotion of the significant HP surrounding the C8 ZR1, is that enough to justify it being a competitor or viable purchasing option over a f8 Tributo respectively?



    What do you think?

    F8, while gorgeous, is dullsville to drive. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner. I mean sure its fast..they all are now, but there is absolutely NOTHING memorable about the driving experience. Its like driving a fast Toyota.

    Pista also sounded bad, like mclarens. But not as dull as the F8 for sure. Funny watching Monkey Boy walk back his 488 sounds better than 458 comments years later when he no longer had to worry about Ferrari access after their run in.

    I think the c8 rides better than f8.

    C8 sounds better with stock exhaust.

    Interior in the c8 is really nice as well.

    Camera system blows Ferrari out of the water.

    The memory for the front lift.is also really really nice.

    Trunk space is better on the c8.

    The coupe still has a targa roof.

    Alas....still.not a Ferrari. But

    I’m really surprised that Ferrari hasn’t adopted the memory for the front lift.

    From a performance perspective, the c8 zr1 is an SF90 competitor.
