    Nice move to your first Ferrari. The F8 is a great car.

    Many here are owners of multiple F cars, there’s a reason.

    Not quite the drama as the H, but it’s a car you can daily drive and enjoy.

    Nice color, too. Good luck with your ownership!

    Thanks everyone.

    I’m already constantly ready to drive it. It’s the fastest car I’ve ever had, even faster than my stage 2 tuned Porsche 992

    I have yet to explore it at full speed, taking it one step at a time.

    Steering is not as weighted as I hoped it would be, which surprised me. But still handles great

    Nice! Question, did your ‘22 come with CarPlay?

    No Carplay

    But I don’t really care. I have it in my BMW, which is my daily, and that’s what matters.

    Tech in a weekend sports car is nice and all, but sometimes it’s a nuisance. My Huracan was an Evo and the MMI screen, which you need to use to control the HVAC systems, basically went blank for the last week that I owned it. I’m off tech now for non-daily cars.

    Let Toyota, Acura, Lexus, BMW, Audi, etc do tech and do it properly. Ferrari and Lamborghini, etc are way out of their league when it comes to tech and I expect it to be buggy on a regular basis

    Got it. Someone had told me that all 22’s got it standard so that’s why I was curious. Anyway, nice spec - enjoy!

    My ‘22 came with Apple CarPlay. All late model ‘22s came with it to somewhat make up for the price increase in MSRP. It’s one of the most unnecessary options I need as I never use it as I rather connect wirelessly through Bluetooth.

    Welcome. I am in the process of selling my F8. Loved it but wanted a Naturally aspirated Ferrari. Incredible car though in every way. I will say, the apple carplay in my F8 was terrible with respect to any nav based app. It would constantly lag. Doesn’t do it in any of my other cars. 2nd Ferrari wher Apple CarPlay had this issue. You’re not missing out on much IMO. Congrats and welcome
