    HILARIOUS thing about the Pista. Auto Start Stop. Engine cuts off at stops. I am sure its some mandated silliness. Need to read how to kill that asap....

    Does it get disabled in the more aggressive driving modes? I tried to delete it from mine, the dealer said it's mandatory.

    No idea. I was on pins and needles driving home....we took the Texas Autobahn (toll road 130 where the speed limit is 80 and folks drive 90+ all the time) at 65 behind motorhomes. Reading the books...and will remove that asap. So silly,....

    It must be an American thing with the front and rear reflectors but its great to see at least they are now near the wheel arch instead of middle in the bumpers.

    OK then even trade for a new 2018 RUF CTR built to your spec or would you keep the Pista?:D

    THAT is a cool car. I looked at that car for some time in Monterey. Met Ruf, the whole deal. No, I would not take that car over the Pista. Be clear, the Ruf was incredible. Julie and I are doubling down with Ferrari. We are going to build a collection over the next few years. We had (many) Porsches in the past and they never really did it for us. Yes, the RUF is probably something beyond. We also considered a Singer and if we were to go the mega Porsche route we would order a Singer. Rob is a friend and is a modern-day Enzo.

    You will love it. Some of the cars have the start/stop disable button near the rear view mirror in the cluster of buttons on the headliner. Not sure about 488. Either way congratulations!!
