F8 Funny to go back and read.....

The 296, not a topic of conversation in the 2019/2020 timeframe you speak of, ultimately did wonders for the F8 valuations (as did COVID).

We defeated COVID. Unfortunately, the 296 survived.

 

There are 40% more US dollars in circulation. First time we've ever put 40% more in a two year stretch. Weird stuff has already happened. There may be more weird stuff to come.

Nobel prize winning economists call for inflation after we save all the banks with a lot of money. No inflation arrives for 14 years. Nobel prize winning economists then say we can send out checks to poor people and no inflation will ever arrive. Inflation shows up in about 18 months. None of us on this forum had a chance.

 

F8 prices still holding strong on secondary market it appears.

is this the penis thread?

 

Its still a freaking turbo.....watch and see how the Speciale's compete going forward

 

Ya know, there isn't a car out there that ISN'T a TURBO....hell, my 2018 Chevy Malibu (grocery getter) runs a turbo 4 cyl.......

 

The small one

 

Strongly disagree. Big plus is a non-GPF NA V12 but I'm biased.

 

Low compression and huge replacement costs on those spinny things. Forced induction is cheap hp and easy to dial-up pressure. Go big or go home.

 

I think a lot of ICE cars will hold or increase in value once they make us all switch to electric cars. I have no intentions of selling my F8, it’s the last non hybrid, non electric, mid engined Ferrari.

I have no interest in a V6 and electric.

 

I want me an F8 Tributo....one day I will have to think hard about trading my 15 458 Spider for one.

"They" will have no way to make us, now or in the future switch to electric cars. Not happening, no infrastructure, too costly, too harmful for the environment, they will ruin roads, etc. etc......just plain not good. They are now feeling the affects of what depreciation is, and that will only get worse. Now if liberals continue to destroy the country, then "they" could do it at great expense. Like you say, just keep your ICE vehicles and you'll be fine. I know thats what I will do. If you want to look to the future, hydrogen is the answer but not until the electric boondoggle is fully capitalized on.

 

ok, boomer

 

This morning I dropped the F8 spider off for its first annual service, somehow I’ve managed 2,000 miles in a year, and I feel I’ve barely driven it. I have other cars which I drive (and track), including the 458 and the Challenge version (one hell of a Ferrari, btw), but the F8 has really grown on me.

I had it parked next to a 296, and for the first time I felt the 296 looked a bit soft for my tastes. But I’ve tested the car, and was impressed with its road manners and technology.

I can’t see selling the F8, as don’t know where I’d go from here. I’m not ready for a front engine car just yet.

Meanwhile, I see a fair number of STOs coming up used, and prices have softened a bit. I love the car, but I think for a lot of buyers it’s a bit too raw for those who were expecting a Ferrari-type feel.

 

Boomers, the 2nd greatest generation after the generation of our parents through out the great depression and WWII which were THE greatest generation of Americans! Yes, I am one. Happy about it.

 

no. not even close.

they had everything handed to them by their WWII parents and then proceeded to utterly, totally, hopelessly screw everything up

democracy, privacy, capitalism, the planet, etc.

you know, the little things.

 

I feel political discourse creeping into an otherwise very interesting thread. Please don’t go there.

Hydrogen is badass. How are you going to get longhaul, heavy vehicles around with electric? You can with Hydrogen. Think RV, and semis. They fill up almost as fast as diesel and gasoline.

anyway, like VJ said, we can continue this threads topic without political chatter. As well, hydrogen vs electric talk in another thread.

Looks alone, the F8 is hard to replace. Considering it’s the last V8, I think it will be cherished for a long time. Performance of the 296 is great, but there’s plenty of it to go around in the F8 already, and I don’t care much for the digital dash either.
