    Hello Guys!

    Anyone had a chance to get some seat time in the 488 spider? Any comparisons to the 458 spider?

    Obviously much quicker.. But looking for more info with regards to how it sounds with the lid off on a spirited drive as well as if the chassis flex is really improved :)

    Thanks in advance

    Not have the Chance to tested the 488 spider because
    I'm 458 spider owner completely satisfied!!!!
    For me the 458 is the best choise the power is more controlable
    compared the 488 . This is opinion from many 488 owner'
    Circuit except impossible to control the max power
    even if the chassis remains difficult to prove its superiority

    What a great question!!!

    I have my favorite tunnels here in Seattle on I-90 through Mercer Island - 4 lanes. I slow down to 30 MPH wait for a dead spot in the traffic and then wind my 458 Spider (top down) up to about 8700. The sound is amazing! I'm waiting for someone here with a 488 Spider to give me a ride and do the same to see if I'm missing anything. MY concern is the 488 accelerates so fast the duration at RPM will be shorter with greater risk of sliding into the tunnel wall.
