I kept the cats .Too loud without them.
F8s have been slowly creeping up as well. I've sold two in the last four months - a 2021 Tributo and a 2022 Tributo. Both sold quickly at north of $350k and north of MSRP. My logic with the F8 being a bargain is the "if you had bought a Pista a few months ago". Do you have a time machine? If not, an F8 today at $360k is 90% of the driving experience for half the money (or less) of a Pista. Like I said, the Pista is the better car, but I don't think they're worth 2x the money unless you're just buying it to watch it sit in the garage and appreciate.
There is a law of diminishing return - and there are points of view supporting both directions in all cases: a Pista is twice the price of an F8 - that does not tell it's not worth it; the same way an F8 is significantly more than a 488 and considering whether it's worth it or not is purely subjective (or, rather, depending on the point of view), in spite of the F8 being objectively better.
If you are only talking about point of diminishing returns, I'm thinking that the 488 wins hands down. But we are enthusiasts and sometimes willing to pay a lot extra for a little better. I'm in the process of struggling with this because the F8 has my attention lately, lol
Yesh you’re absolutely correct re miles having a more significant impact on VS cars but you’re also operating from a much higher price point if you bought in before they started appreciating significantly. PS- You nailed the F8 touring comment. Nail on the head
I went with the tributo over the spider for the rear lexan eng cover love the f40 design if your in the market for a f8 get one it’s almost perfect minus exhaust note but everything else it delivers you forget about the exhaust noise
