    ok, I’m not a long time Ferrari expert. Owned a 458, 488, F12 and now Pista . Owned several McClarens and one Lambo—Aventador roadster. Owned 05-06 Ford GTs and 2018 Ford GT.


    Favorite ever driver—Pista. Favorite design by far—2018 Ford GT—not a close call IMO. Best sounding—Aventador.

    Ferrari just does it right. I don’t want to jinx myself but for fit, finish, durability, Ferrari is the king of the hill.

    Anyway, enjoy your cars —this is simply my opinion.

    Totally agree, it is a real epic package. Drove it at the Corsa Pilota Sport program and had the time of my life! Enjoy my friend, mine won't get here for a while :(

    I had a 488 which I sold which was getting less and less time when I got my 720. I am very much looking forward togetting my Pista in a few months as I do believe a Ferrari is just something special.

    I cannot wait to hear your analysis.. I have an F12, and looking to add potentially a 720s to the stable as well. I would love a pista, but the cost of entry is not something I am willing to pay. So either will go a 458 spider, 488 spider or 720s (also considering a 600LT as a off shoot of a 4th option).

    Of your choices that you listed, in my ever so humble opinion, there is no contest- 720.

    Yes you will have the audiophiles on this site complain about the sound compared to the 458. No doubt, the sound of the 458 is better. But eat a burrito every time you drive the 720 and you will have all the sound you want. To me there are a 100 things that I look for in a car, and sound is the only thing thats better in the 458 over a 720.

    The 488 is a great and capable car but performance wise it did not hold a candle to a 720.

    600LT - yeah good option bbut for a few bucks more- get a 720.

    Good luck.

    Having tracked a 720s a substantial amount and been on track with an extremely competent Pista driver/owner...

    If you have never driven a 720s or any hyper car... Then you will be blown away by the speed of a Pista.

    720s and Pista sit together above everything else in the speed department for anything up to a million dollars.

    Looks great and sounds very similar to a 720s at full throttle (jet like sound).
