    Great combination! Love the 355 and 458 in the garage! Having never owned 355 before (currently have 458 Spider), I would think 355 sounds just as good if not better than 458.

    F355 sounds great with a Tubi. Mine did. But stock, 458 with the plugs pulled sounds much better.

    I hate to admit it but I've been shopping for a replacement recently for my not so old 458. And after test driving the 991 gt3, Dodge Viper t/a, I realized the 458 has ruined me for sports cars. The reason I was thinking of dumping it was because I didn't drive it enough. But now I have more resolve to drive the car. I absofrigginglutely love this car. Gave my cousins a ride along today and it further reinforce it. I love it

    Great l agree. But 458 with the plugs pulled sounds better to my ears, especially under 3000 rpm and OVER 8500 rpm. ;)

    I too agree with the OP's great message. After 3 years and 33,000 miles, I still enjoy her just as much as the day I drove her off the dealer's lot.

    Living in the Austin Texas area, we are blessed with wonderful roads in the Central Texas Hill Country and take full advantage of them with great cruises out to some fun destinations (wineries :) ). She take us to get groceries and to Home Depot as well as she takes us to fine dining destinations. I am part of a car club that does many car shows and cruises for charitable causes. I still get a thrill every time I see the look on a kid's face when they see the car or get to sit in it for pictures. Some of these kids are fighting cancer and other serious illnesses so the opportunity to use the car to give back something is such a reward.

    I will continue to rack up the miles as long as I can. Here is a picture of my "dark red" (Mugello) 458.

    Wow, that's some serious miles in 3 years! That's great that you're enjoying the car and using it for charitable events. Keep up the nice work!

    My friend have high hopes for this scenario. Only potential issue could be if people dont go after 488 as expected.
