    Many more high quality pics coming in the next 48 - 72 hours. Stay tuned!

    Did you know that with the key fob you can lower the windows with the unlock button? Also, the Ferrari infotainment now shows text messages! Lastly, with the actual key in the key hole you can close and open the convertible top!!! WOW!

    Congrats on working hard, sacrificing, and living the American Dream. I had a similar story and purchased my first Ferrari last May, a 458 Italia.

    “You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
    ― Dr. Adrian Rogers

    Like I have said- I would not have selected those colors because I’m boring ( grigio says enough) but I LOVE the colors and bicolore Nero roof and the whole effect.

    I thought you picked up on Thursday ……


    It is an amazing spec, great colors. You must tell us your impressions on driving and owning.


    When are we doing a Florida meet up for F8Ss?

    Drive it in good health.

    After driving nearly 250 miles since Friday I will say that the exhaust note leaves much to be desired. It’s basically non existent. Carbon brakes squeal a little bit but I believe that’s normal.

    I understand what you are saying Harris. However, I just think the exhaust note is a matter of personal preference. If 10 is my perfect sound then I would say the F8 is a 7. I did a lot of driving this weekend and inevitably many comments, pictures, and thumbs up. At breakfast this morning at an outside cafe after parking I got several comments one in particular that I was surprised by was: “I heard you before I saw you”. The next comment was it wasn’t too loud or too soft. It sounded good without being obnoxious like the Lambo that passed by while we were talking. Once again it is personal. There is no standard that should or should not be met except the owner’s.
    But what an overwhelming response by people. I didn’t buy this car to impress others but if I had I would have succeeded.

    Congrats! I just picked up an F8S also - what exactly are the skid plates? Do you have a link to them?

    I agree with what you’re saying and my intent is not to impress others. Most people can’t tell apart a 458 from an F8 but under 4K RPMs and in auto mode the car is really quiet. If I’m stepping on it and going over 5k RPMs it’s a bit more pronounced but I have to admit I do miss the aural experience of the NA V12 Aventador. Beyond that the car is a blast to drive and blistering fast but I do understand why many choose to swap out the exhausts.

    I would check with dealer, not sure of part number but it’s basically plastic shields that go on bottom of front bumper.

    I had Scrape Armor installed on my F8 this last week - picture attached. Not seen it in person yet on the car but it looks neat. I am in the UK so suspect my recommendation of the installer won’t be much help.
