Agree. Really love the 458 in rosso corsa, really don't like those gold wheels.
Thanks Guy!
Made it out to the track this past sunday with the 458. Here are a few vids: Clean lap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rwz9t0--l0 Fastest...
What mode were you driving in? Race mode uses the rear brakes behind the scenes and could contribute to your issues.
I'm not sure I agree. 0-60 times are only .2 seconds different between the 458 and 488. For those short bursts, the difference between the two...
Only really at speeds you'd be going on the track.
Yikes!
I'd do the entire hood, front bumper, front fenders, rocker panels, doors and mirrors.
I've had this done to my 458, and I absolutely love the results. It is exactly as you describe. The finish shines like a mirror and it makes...
I agree. I'll wait until the entirely new platform in a few years and see if that's more interesting.

488 vs 458: 488 pros: handles better, has a smoother transmission, negligibly faster on the street (.2 sec 0-60), faster on the track, newest...
Wife uses it frequently. I do take corners much more slowly when there's a drink in the cup holder.

The 488 also does the same, where it's quiet and then the exhaust valves open and make the sound louder. Although in this case, the sound is...
Thanks for the info Christian.
Thanks Randy for the writeup. Anybody know if gearbox and differential fluid changes are done as part of the 7 year maintenance program? If so,...
The blue carbon is cool, but I think this spec is over the top. Blue carbon with red leather and red exterior to me is too much. Less would have...
Option 3: Get the Speciale and keep it.
The video makes the 488 sound better than it actually does. The recording seems to mute the higher frequency sounds, and if it didn't you'd...
