    How did it sound? I think it’s the first one with GPF installed?

    It just doesn't impress me at all, even in RC. A mixture of so many different cars it has no fluidity in design.

    It is a lot more impressive in person!
    It sounds pretty awesome . I have a video but wasn't able to upload it.
    Yes it is the sale car that was in Los Angeles . It was only in Newport for 2-3 hours.

    Did you happen to see what kind of shoes it was wearing? Thinking which Michelin or which Pirelli.

    Not feeling those wheels at all. Perhaps they look better in person.

    I think its the best part of the car. The lower rear carbon fiber with the sport pipes really set it off. That with the louvered engine cover.
    Again, it looks much better in person. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I recall ferr9000 saying the F8 was supposed to be a car to welcome those that were denied Pista allocations with open arms.

    Now those denied Pista allocations must be double pissed, once for being denied a Pista and twice for having to look at that ugly F8.

    Wow. That is not a pretty thing. Like the 458 and love the 488/Pista. But that thing does absolutely nothing for me. Maybe it's the colour.

    So what you say is that I'm currently looking at my least favorite Ferrari in my least favorite Ferrari colour? Oh boy. That's bad...

    Mishmash design doesnt flow at all. Ferrari picked the wrong rims to launch the F8, should have gone with the Speciale wheels or something like.
