    personally I didn't read anything in the actual article from the author that offered noteworthy observations in comparison to the 488 other than the title itself, vs rehashing marketing statistics and new developments Ferrari themselves have trumpeted for the new model

    But I would also be quite eager/enthusiastic to be driving the F8 in the shoes of someone driving it on Fiorano and roads around Maranello. If it's an improvement on the 488 in any way I'm sure it's wicked

    The most surprising part of the review was in the last sentence. He actually included the Corvette C8 as one of the F8’s competitive options. Wow.

    These reviews are getting more and more lame. F8 more fun than 488?? You don’t say! 50 hp and a light car and your conclusion is that it’s more fun.

    Morons.

    Can’t believe the
    F8 isn’t much more fun than a C8. If not: Houston, we have a problem!

    Reviewer wasn't doing badly until that last sentence at which time his credibility withered into dust.

    Bad enough that he included a 911 Turbo let alone a C8.

    Maybe a GT2 RS would compete against an F8 for some buyers.

    Was actually a good review until the last sentence:

    “ So should you buy an F8 Tributo or a 720S, 911 Turbo or wait for a C8? Yes, buy one of each. Then call me and we’ll go driving, si?“

    Blew it with the total waffling, cop out closing remark.

    I think that's reality: non-Tifosi man wants "sports car." Sees C8 at $90k, 911TT at $190k and F8 at $300k...

    There are a lot of people who make really good money who still can't mentally justify the expense. I have many lawyer friends who make seven figures a year still tell me "oh, I wish I could buy something like [the 458]." I always say that of course they could, they just need to have terrible priorities like me. :D ;)
