    I dunno. It kind of matters...supply and demand you know. Of course, for people that love the car, drive the car, intend to own the car for a while, it doesn’t matter. For the person who wanted a cheap in and out, it matters a great deal.

    Not sure I agree. The replacement will be a hybrid model. Sure to offer mind-bending performance, but with a 400lbs weight penalty. Perhaps it might prove to be as popular (or unpopular) as the SF90. In that event, the 765LT may well stand tall long term. Indeed, the 765LT might end of being the best car of its generation of cars. Senna (hypercar) performance, for less than the cost of a high-spec F8 Tributo.

    Full Disclosure: I have a 765LT on order and my enthusiasm for that car creates tremendous bias.

    We wont know so its futile. Fact is that the car is epic and although we dont know the exact number there aren't that many out there relatively speaking. Once this wave of resales drys up you will see prices stabilize.

    You get a ton a carbon on the exterior automatically. That is what compelled me to “finish off” the exterior with carbon. Standard exterior carbon includes the louvers, the hood air intakes, the rear fender air intakes, and the door mirror casings. That is why I opted for the front splitter, rear bumper lower, side skirts, front air intakes, diffuser, and rear aero bridge to all be in carbon. Probably not a good investment, but it’s a one of kind car and I didn’t want any regrets.

    Which city are you in?

    I had no idea that the Nanny’s in Aus would stop the option of Senna seats?

    Such ****ing spastics!

    I totally agree. I didn’t expect to fit in the Senna seats as well as I did. I’m 6’6” 260lbs and I found the Senna seats and the seating position of the 765LT to be absolute perfection.

    Yeh it's crazy but no way around it apparently. It applies oz wide. You can get the Senna seats in the 600lt but not 765. Ridiculous. If I could get them they'd be in if for nothing other than the look. I've pretty well got every thing else but the roof scoop going in. I figure don't hold back - no regrets is good.

    Ferrari is certainly the more popular brand but there are a lot Ferrari owners buying Macs.

    Isn’t it refreshing how many of us own Ferrari’s/Pista and are ordering a 765lt. We are able to enjoy cars for what they are and don’t just sit back and bash the competition. It gets old when fanboys are so loyal to just one brand and won’t even consider what else is out there. I am a fan of both brands and cars in general!! Just my thought for the day.

    I totally agree. I like pretty much like all the brands. My garage is both weird, and diverse:

    * 812
    * Performante
    * 2005 Ford GT
    * 2017 Dodge Viper ACR
    * 765LT (on order)

    I’d have even more were not for the twin impediments of finite resources and finite garage space.

    Really love that! We just bought a redevelopment parcel and are starting to formulate design ideas... Would you mind sharing the architecture firm? I'd love to see their website / portfolio for more ideas...

    Love it. Coming up on 3 years of ownership, and it’s just as captivating now as it was then. What I like best, is that I can trick myself into believing I am going faster than I really am. The noisy NA 10 creates so much drama, it’s fun to even drive in sub-prison level speeds. Plus the AWS inspires so much confidence. Long term keeper for me.

    Well said, I concur.
    I like the 458 platform because it’s so noisy you can enjoy it at slow speeds. Same for the Perf.
    Pista I dint find enjoyable as it didnt ignite the passion.

    I feel your vibe!

    The ACR is probably the only car I would pass on.... probably due to the fact that I am an Aussie rather than American. And I would drop in a GT3RS instead.

    That’s perfect!

    The problem with any bigger is that you will always find more cars to add!
