    I think I’m going to hire you spec me a car one day. My creative abilities are clearly inferior to yours.

    https://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/30614/know-brake-fluids#:~:text=By design, a brake

    I have used Motul 600 in all my street cars (other than Ferraris under the 7-year maintenance plan) for more than 12 years, change frequency varies but never more than 4 years, it is a far better 'DOT 4' than many others, no need to remove for street driving...all brake fluid takes on moisture, it specifically works that by design (see article linked above)

    Being able to trust your brakes is critical to me.

    Thanks for the article. I have read a few myself, but my mechanic friend, who is considered to be a wiz, insisted in not using them on the road, especially after a track day. Yes, brakes are obviously of the utmost importance!

    I came from a Pista (that I loved) to a 2021 SF90AF. I’ve had it almost two years and have 3k miles on it. The SF90 is the best car I’ve ever owned, and I drive it every chance I get—to include track time as recently as Saturday night. It was flawless on the track (the driver could always use improvement :)). For me, the SF90’s grip on track makes me a better driver (for my driving style and abilities). I drove it back-to-back not only with the 296’s used at Corso Pilota (side note: I cannot recommend this course strongly enough) but with our own 296GTS on track, and the SF90 is simply spectacular. I have a new appreciation for the track capabilities of the SF90 and for me, it’s been the perfect car. I would recommend getting the SF90 on track if possible before making a judgment on the car. The SF90AF is eye-opening on track, and I am extremely excited to experience the XX in the track setting! In closing, I don’t think that the Pista vs. SF90 comes down to the cars but to your personal preference, driving style, and what you want from a car. You can’t go wrong with either!

    Appreciate it!
    I haven’t seen MM in person, but I’m trusting and hoping it’s a brilliant, pearlescent white.
    My TDF was Bianco Italia, which is my favorite color on an F car.

    Very nice - ordered Bianco Italia on Puro went white / blue as if I owned a yacht!

    that sounds like a beautiful combo, I was going to go white on the Puro then decided to do black, my car is at the port hopping to pick it up in few weeks unless they find some bugs or illegally obtained chips or some other garbage the overly sensitive brigade might deem illegal this week.

    I love Bianca Italia. How does it compare to MM?

    I’ve been stuck in Blu world but may be moving to white for a 296…

    Not a STO but I have a Performante and a SF90 Spider, the Performante is a car which I absolutely love, had it since new the longest I've ever kept a car and I don't think I will ever sell it, I had a STO on order but after extensive drives on the road and track I decided to keep the Performante, I like it much better.

    One mistake I have made, one day I drove the Performante and the SF90 back to back, I will never do it again LOL

    The SF90 is from another planet, making the HP feel archaic and rudimentary. These cars could not be more different. I jumped back in the HP and drove it for 3 or 4 days so I could fall in love with it again, LOL. I will never drive them back to back.

    If you can only have one now that's a huge dilemma.... I have been conflicted with answering the same question for myself, I couldn't part with either to be honest.

    Mine also headed to Port - hope Ferrari has no issue like Porsche.
    Puro was first ViP Ferrari experience and shocked what they spend and put out for their customers.

    Awesome. I went for Carbon roof vs sunroof.
    Puro will be in Florida - heat and brightness was too much even with the tinting.
