Thanks guys, will mention those ideas to the dealer when it goes in for the brakes impoverishment!
I'd agree it seems completely abnormal! Having to suffer the pain though...
That's less of an issue, it's actually a more pronounced waggle that occurs on turn-in that I'm talking about. Unique to the 599...
Thanks for all the useful feedback guys. The dealer has come back with a goodwill deal and reduced the brakes to the still-expensive price of...
Far more shocking to me has been the price of the brakes... the dealer quote here was the equivalent of $35k! Still not quite sure what to do...
Wonder if the dealer gets a better price for warranty claims? I'm not sure... this was also a little while ago, and the R/$ exchange rate has...
Yep!
I suspected this would be the case with a tyre change (big improvement). It was the same with the Carrera GT. So the Michelin Super Sports are the...

To be very clear on the gearbox question: All the typical single-clutch paddle-shifted semi-automated hydraulically shifted manuals I've driven...
Thanks everyone! I feel vindicated in wanting the Scud and less alone in my madness! ;)
OK, great, so I see I'm not the only one then that found the Scud more entertaining and desirable than the 458... I feel better now! Although I...
Right -- this is pretty much what I was expecting. However I have owned other ceramic brake equipped cars such as the Aston Martin DBS which had...
I have to agree, the transmission in particular is very impressive. It's only 10ms slower than the 458's but I prefer its style and its truly...
Hi all, Lurker member and prospective new F-owner here. I currently own a sister car, the Maserati GranTurismo S, so I'm not from entirely out...
