10 days into a 296 GTB myself. I think the race HUD has 2 issues for me - 1) revs don't show yes unless > 6k, but even then 20 it seems pretty...
Luckily, yes! Their stuff is not for me but they took an Ioniq 5N and 19 C4S and sold me an Evora GT that is much easier to manage the sound...
Perhaps unpopular opinion but I like Model 3P better than Taycan as practical and a bit more tossable and fun, if a bit noiser for calls/music....
All this stuff is personal take obviously, to me both F12 and 812SF sounded better but Lusso V12 sounded amazing if you aren't listening back to...
Well I've had the pre-owned 296 GTB over a week and now looking to order a new 296, so I don't hate it just wish the exhaust portion was a little...
Lo Tried the F8 for an hour, sounded bad and drove big vs. 296. Also because of the more flat tones it was harder to get the feeling of fun with...
I played with this some yesterday and it seems based on some quick testing like they open at about 3k RPM in any manettino mode. Unfortunately...
Could also be that the true delta is < $100k over for GTS vs SF but sellers are hoping to hold the illusion of the super high delta. Similar...
Thanks all! Perhaps 296 are as different as 458s were from machine to machine. That does give me pause buying a new 296 GTS in order to get my...
I've driven one GTS and 4 GTBs, including one I bought last weekend and have driven ~300 miles since. I like it enough to be looking at upgrading...
I bought it, got it yesterday. Loving it. Will post impressions on a separate thread. Re: C8 - again just my take but I don't like the fish lips...
As an owner of a new-to-me 296, 2 takes on Dec 2024 market: 1) Market - $340k seems to be the new "floor" from dealers and 3rd party. I know some...
Thanks... Will see what it's like to live w 296, I am hopeful. Re: Speed Vegas I was trying to gather what info I could... I owned a 458 this...
Or maybe the reverse? Last weekend I drove 992 GT3, 488, Pista, 296, STO, Tecnica, NSX, Z06, Emira at Speed Vegas to evaluate mid engines. That...
My take was Z06 sounds pretty damn good, faster than I need, didn't love vis vs. Ferrari mid-engines. Transmission pretty good, not at P or F...
Thanks, didn't know that about Cup2s, will check versions - I have been driving Emira GT and even 991 2RS on Cups in rain and find it not too...
Thanks, for my taste I'm torn right now, 4S are really pretty good especially living mostly in Portland and Seattle. But I have become addicted...
I did wind up driving the actual 296 GTB AF and a non-AF GTB side by side. Both on Potenzas. AF seemed 15-25% better turn-in and overall...
Thanks @rxbg. It was just surprising to be the bounce up and down on uneven road even though side-side weight transfer was great and ride...
Thanks, @CinciOptics! There was just the one strange dynamics where it was less harsh than I was expecting but a bit "bouncy" on undulating roads...
