    I haven't had much time behind the wheel yet however from what little i drove its miles better than my 458 .. esp the torque which is simply insane on 3rd 4th and 5th gears.. unfortunately from what I noticed the car seems to lose traction on 1st and 2nd gear esp on our roads which have quite a bit of sand particles. The sound I'm not convinced completely as its a bit too smooth.
    Looks wise this car is miles better looking than the 458 in every way.. and I just love it.
    Just took a few pictures of the car when she arrived ... she will be stock just for a week before I start my mods.

    Congrats.

    Interesting to see your 458 has no shields; rather hard to find shield-less cars these days.

    Looks fantastic! That's how I'll be spec'ing the exterior of mine, but with the addition of a CF spitter in the side vets. :)

    Looks fantastic! Run her through her paces and share your thoughts. Lots of us want to hear from owners that are driving their cars vs. the 1000s of assumptions based on YouTube vids.

    Congrats.. she's a stunner for sure

    Thanks guys! I do plan on installing a whole bunch of carbon upgrade parts in the next week ..apart from that she will also have an exhaust with 200 cell high flow cats and hopefully a very special air box and filters from the GT3.
