    I have to admit, that was the first video of 488 that I liked about the sound. I'm still skeptical of how realistic that sound is but it was pretty cool. Going thru the tunnel definitely helps.

    I finally heard a 488 GTB driving down the road. He was accelerating moderately away from me (I was at a traffic signal), and I was surprised that it sounded pretty good. No idea if the exhaust had been modified. If you have only heard the 488 on YouTube videos you may be surprised (like me)...

    But I didn't like the look of the side air intake vents. This 488 was red and the wings inside the intake vents were carbon fiber so they stood out. I think if they were painted the same as the car that it would have been better. The 488 looks great from the rear, and so-so from the front. But all in all, it really does look good and sounds "not bad" IMHO :)

    Very cool video that finally shows the 488 in the proper production form that it is meant to be seen in. It's unfortunate that Pennzoil had to come up with the idea and funding to get this done. At least Ferrari came up with the proper car for them to use. LOL.

    Great video, but strange that they claim every 488 gab comes with Pennzoil. According to my owners manual, its "SHELL HELIX ULTRA SAE 5W-40"
