    Respect.

    Just as 12, this thread shows each has their path and their preference. I love my 360 spider for its analogness but also because I’m luster for it as a young man.

    Also have a SF90 spider on order because the next car is also exciting. And I can have both.
    Also pointed out by #12- cars can be different things to us at different times. New one might pass on a F12 but time puts a context on the progress and personality of the car that perhaps makes a model attractive to us or presents a use case we were unaware of at the other point in time.

    I find I have to place the order to preserve the option before I really know about how I feel about a car with Ferrari. Like trying a new item at a trusted restaurant- it takes time and while I love my favorite dish, one can evolve and be happy.

    Wow! Thank you all for your input. Especially #12.
    I went and bought mine yesterday without testing it :D will get it next week and I'm super excited to drive it. I prefer to just trust the excitement I hear and read, because I know I won't push it the way I would want unless I own it and it's mine.

    This one did not have the fiorano package but I bought it anyways. Hope I won't get disappointed. Guess I won't know unless I try it out later. But for some reason, I felt like the lift was more important to me since I won't drive this on track.

    I remember someone on the forum told update will come this month or so. I believe you have to take the car to service.

    That sucks if you don’t live near your dealer.

    Someone wrote a comment that front lift is not needed, which is not an option with AF package. Well, from my experience in the nordics, front lift is a must!! You will hit the car pretty frequently when driving on the speed bumps here. I´m glad I got that option on my car.

    I have the AF and here in DC i have found myself making u turns at speed bumps, not being able to get into certain entrances. Definitely needed but I really wanted the Af so I’ll live with the annoyance

    Yes, in France as well, many speed bumps.
    I didn't bought my Fcars brand new but the lifter was a must have.

    I’ve been over large speed bumps in 3 countries - UK, Spain and Portugal. AF car only hits if you don’t completely slow down. At 2mph I never hit. At 10mph I would hit most. City basement garages are a no-no though, unless you carry two long planks of wood around!

    I bet I could have made it over some of those speed bumps, but it would take a spotter outside of the car to be sure. Without a spotter it’s a scary proposition just hoping. Another issue I have is that I can’t get the car on the lift because of the approach angle - I have extended ramps but it’s not enough.

    Definitely glad I ordered a lift system. It's a road car, the more I can use it, the happier it will make me.

    You didn’t like my alternative of having a spotter with you at all times ;)

    That's a pain. I like the look of the AF package but I'd go with the non-AF. Lift systems are important to me.

    I was at the track all day with the sf90. Had the pista there three weeks back (same track, same track conditions, different tires). Sf90 w af is mind bending. It brakes, handles, and blasts out of corners so much better and I could not find it’s limit. Mind you I’m an intermediate level driver.

    I didn’t turn the timer on, and honestly my times wouldn’t have been worthwhile measuring, I’m not fast. The first track day was a small group of us that rented out the track and today the local f dealer had a small group of clients out. I’m sure some of the drivers in the group timed their runs, but I had no problems getting past the superfasts.

    I will drive 4-5 hours in my 458 to great tracks like VIR in the same car I track. Never trailer. The SF90 is a master of being able to do this. Subdued cruising for hours on the highway followed by explosive jaw dropping performance at the track. The 458 has this well rounded capability and I’m sure the SF90 does it even greater.
