    Congrats on your Tributo!
    I will pass on your compliments to my friend.
    Of note, the Tricolor stripe on the exterior is a decal he did aftermarket, so can be removed.

    Very nicely done! I'm not a blue car or blue interior kind of guy, but this has been carefully designed. He may consider becoming a Ferrari special agent in NYC Atelier Dealer

    Wow!!!! It looks like factory! Please let me know where this is. Just in case some of my friends decide to do something like that. That is a very smart move!

    I've requested a test drive in an MC20 last week and i had a few missed calls from Turin Friday evening which must mean they are keen to poach existing Ferrari owners..I really love the MC20's look and the fact its all CF and am considering getting one over the F8..My one reservation is the at 630HP and 1500Kg with a basic list of £188K it seems a lot compared to an F8 at only £16K more..It'll be slower than my 488 and even more so compared to the lighter and 90HP more powerful F8..
    However i prefer the design of the MC20 and the Maserati name conjures up a lot of my childhood memories from the early 70s..As a 6 year old in 1972 it was the Maserati that i dreamt about, perhaps its time to live my dreams now..

    I say, if you have an itch, scratch it while you can. Worst thing to do is live with regrets. You will always have things to regret, but you can always minimize things to regret.

    Decent run. Another member did better on the street with similar DA. The prepped surfaces don't seem to help with street tires. Only the ultra sticky Toyo's.

    With a better DA like under 1000 and some stickier tires it should run close to 10 flat.

    That's the nicest Ferrari spec I've seen in a long while. It's hard to be tasteful and bold at the same time, but that just nails it. Which blue is that, Azzurro Dino?

    Brooks does a great job running cars ... that Hurracan gets off the line really well. As you all know the 720s will still eat the Ferrari up unfortunately. With better weather and tires....where the 720 run 9.9 the F8 will be running 10.1-2

    Only my view of it off course, along with some friends /car geeks who was with me in the showroom where it sat along with 812 SF, Lusso, Pista S, F12

    Is 0.2 s difference really to eat something up? I don't do straight line races and don't care about them hence a serious question (seems to be more of a US thing than EU thing to go fast straight)?
    Either way I am so glad that 720 was released otherwise maybe the F8 would never exist, and for me this is by far the nicest iteration of the 458 platform where it feels and looks like a entire new model compared to the other 458 variants which for me just feels a little boring to look at now, 10 years later - pray for me not to get chopped by the 458, 488 variants cult :)

    It's almost as when I look at the F8 in the flesh I see it as a brand new model and not even a iteration of the 458-platform as the differences inside out (for the eye, I know the engine is pumped up 488 engine off course) are pretty big and not one day to late.
