F8 or STO?

the next buyer for an STO will be the same guy who is looking at GT3/2 RS and Pistas. He (maybe she) won't give two hoots for bling. Again, if you want BLING get an AV Roadster. (almost) nothing has the street cred of an AV Roadster.
If you want a crazy driver's car....STO and make it as cheap and light as possible.
I am tempted to spend $14k on paint (bright fun color)...and the package that gets you the Mags. That would make my STO in the mid $300s. Seems about right for what you get. Stupid money for a car that will lose value to be sure. It will lose far less value if you keep it pure and fluff-free.
Last time I checked you only live once and you are dead for a real long time...live wisely.

 

This is exactly it. And that's why if you can swing it, do it. But on a car like this there will be many who just buy it for the look and not use it much, so when specing a car like this - which is expensive for what it is even bare bones - it often pays to go hard on the right options which attract buyers on the resale end, CF being one of them usually. Using Pisa as an example the ones with no CF and scant options sat and sat and had to be virtually given away to shift them. I suspect it will be the same case with this car too. Cars which look the biz shift easy at the right money. Not that you buy a car to sell it but selling does come around at one point and many of these types of cars are not held very long by the first buyer.

 

I think my spec is very similar to yours. Mine was 429k if I recall. I remember someone was giving me a hard time of why I didn’t spec a 500k Pista? (Not here but a friend of a “friend”. I was like I have every carbon op ion and nothing stupid like Apple car play for 5k and passenger display for 5k. You are right you will not get that back on resale but there is a bare minimum you need to spec on the car. On a Pista full exterior carbon is a must. But skip the lift, homelink, car play etc etc. they are worthless.

I’m Assuming STO is similar in that you need a smart spec to not get your ass handed to you come resale time.

 

I believe an STO without exterior carbon will be harder on resale and command a significantly lower $$. Color is subjective. I like my Lambos loud, so I won’t go with white,black, grey which I like on most everything.

I also believe the Mag wheels will be one of those essential options. Interior carbon is probably a loser, but I won’t buy a Ferrari used if it doesn’t have it, for example led carbon wheel. I know it’s a gimmick, but I like it. I also chose it for my STO build.

Apple car play is free, lol.

 

Apple car play- 5k option with Ferrari. Free on a Kia.

Really like the STO but sitting this one out as I can’t fit in a lambo.

 

not in the US Shadow. the market was flat for maybe 60 days post covid then took off. high msrp or not. early low msrp buyers sold for the same price as high msrp buyers. Low MSRP sellers lost nothing. High MSRP sellers lost a ton. Same with Porsches. In conclusion, buyer 2 gives a hoot about bling IN THE US. Maybe not AUS.

 

because at this level feeling even a tad 'ripped off' sucks. the base car is beyond what anyone will ever need. And yes we are all addicted....and what a wonderful thing to be addicted to.

 

Same here in Canada. My dealer had a verde scandal SVJ roadster with no exterior carbon, it sold within a month. The SVJ coupes with full exterior carbon package are still sitting on the showroom floor.

That said, the full exterior carbon on the STO will look good. It's the first Huracan with this much exterior carbon.

 

Right with you. Salivating about STO but I love my 580-2 as a daily driver and am thinking EVO RWD or used Perf is the way to go.

 

No option on the config for bronze calipers but what do you guys think? Bronze on black with matching interior stitch....

Bronze gets lost. Go red calipers with red contrast stitching. Could spring for red EVO trim

 

if going black, pick a contrasting color and carry the theme. If red calipers, then do red on the interior. Keep it cohesive. less is more.

 

I’m so sick of black wheels

Just my opinion, I like the contrasting colors. You could do green, blue, whatever your fancy. But this car needs to be seen. The bronze imho gets lost.

SoCal to az this is the spec I'm leaning towards. I might not do the red contrast trim because I can have my local PPF do the same for 1/3 the price. The STO sure looks stunning in black.

 

Absolutely. Black with bronze accents=ZZZZ

Red, green, orange contrasting trim would look so much better

 

Btw, here's the CDN price guide.

 

Are the stripes painted or stickers? If stickers- yeah- get your locks PPF guy to do it. If painted then pay for the paint.

 

Contrast colour is painted not a sticker

 

I’ve found RL to be more of a community of guys that track there cars way more than here on FChat. Moving from the 997 to 991 GT forums over the past 15yrs is a large group of track guys about half I’ve known and been on track with. I’m just basing what I’ve seen and know and not here to compare Rennlist to FChat and start putting down Rennlist like you’ve started to do. WoW....

 

Canadian Prices on the STO are outrageous.
STO - Sticker on door- $ 3090
Painted- $22,420. - The price of a Honda Civic.
Full Livery painted- $44,380- Price of a C class Mercedes.
Colored Seat Belts- $1930
Rosso Mars Paint- Free on all Huracans- $23200 on STO
Verde Mantis- $5600 on Perf, - $23200 on STO.

 

I do wonder if the added expense on the paint is because the panels are not alloy...they are 75% CFRP.

 

So the wing comes in plastic as I suspected, carbon wing will be an option...
