I haven't heard mirror rattle in a few 296s including mine. I know some folks with dash or door rattles that were all chased down and fixed. When...
I got to drive a 992.2 GTS last week. Disclaimer - it had less than 250 miles, and was on Goodyear F1 which did not help the car in my opinion....
I know a fellow 296 owner who prefers the 296 steering as is but it still feels spooky to me to not have the feedback. In the dry the agility and...
Agree re engine sound but I do wish that on and off throttle didn't make the tweety bird sound, that and the on throttle whistle is the reminder...
I have a G99 M5 and can confirm it is silly fun, like the Dakar and GR Corolla. On Pilot Sport 5 it feels more agile than at least the Cayenne...
There are apparently a number of stripe options but only available on the dealer configurator, not the web configurator yet. It may be that the...
Did you actually purchase it? Or see a quote? People are still being told differently in the US at least.
The warranty for the whole car will be substantially more than $3500/year. My guess given that they haven't released Power15 price for 296 and are...
Strange to have a deposit without guarantee for a special. It seems like that was the case for non-specials but generally not done for specials....
So far deposits on Speciale also seem to be different than GTS/GTB at some dealers.
Deposit size also seems to depend whether refundable or nonrefundable, have seen both more like 10%, more like $10k, and refundable and...
I need to do skidpad with it would be a good time investment. In mostly norma driving, TC on the 296 overall seems much better than on say the C8...
At least some coupe deposits and contracts have been taken across at least 3 US cities. Deposit amounts and ROFR terms are in ranges but not 100%...
Agree re: front end and brakes. And it has more than enough speed for me. The sound has actually grown on me enough that I like the Ferrari V12s...
I am still hoping to get a contract to sign on a Speciale, but across a few US regions the deposit/contract says for a coupe some version of...
My "realistic worst case" estimate was $225k in ~3 years or $175k with high miles. My replacement 296 GTB is code 90 so I hope I'm wrong.
Re: plugging in, yes the 296 is a bit of a pain for me because I can't tend where I park it most times. Having a UPS for when I'm away to keep a...
The same one where mid mile 458s could be had for sub 200k last year. I hope they don't - but many more 296s sitting way longer than I think 458s...
I bought a used GTB then ordered a new replacement figuring realistic worst case on a reasonable build GTB is $200-225k in 3-4 years or $180-200k...
991+ seems to me to be more precise but less subtlety and less linear load-up or road feel, but it is simulating it somehow and at least on non-AF...
