    Just took delivery of my first ever Ferrari last weekend!!!

    Coming from a Maserati Granturismo it's quite a transition! Still a lil nerve wracking getting used to this new beauty, but what a dream she is!!

    I had the dealer open the valves and man does she sure roar! Coming from a maser GT with sport cats I figured I would be wanting to upgrade the exhaust(especially how everyone bashes the car for being too quiet) But with valves open I'm very happy! It's so loud that the rear view mirror rattles like hell when I'm backing into my parking spot (hopefully dealer can fix that!)

    Rosso Monza with nero roof and full Cioccolato interior with yellow stitching. Bellissimo!

    I love how the color looks so much different depending on how much sunlight is hitting it. This picture was taken on my iphone at sunset but in bright sunlight wow she sure pops! Pictures don't really do this color justice!

    The interior shot was taken from the dealers website as I haven't been able to really capture the interior too well with the quick iphone shots I've taken so far. But it's one of the nicest looking interiors I've ever seen with electric seats.

    Even though racing seats do look a bit better, I didn't find the racing seats too comfortable so they were never an option for me.

    Many congrats on a stunning first Ferrari and what a way to go..!
    I think the color combo is fantastic..The Nero roof and rims contrast beautifully with the Rosso Monza. Nice to see someone spec a new Ferrari differently to the typical safe herd mentality..

    As a fellow diamond stitched/cioccolato interior owner, it is indeed tough to capture on pictures.
    Splending car. That Rossa Monza is a major WOW!
    Enjoy your awesome new car.

    Beautiful - a refreshing choice of colors. I’m a first time Ferrari owner as well. My only regret is why did I wait so long?

    Congrats. That is a unique combination. She is beautiful.

    I also had the dealer open my exhaust valves and so glad I did. The 488 is by no means loud, but IMO sounds bettter with valves open.
