    OK, you've got your SF90. Now, what are you doing with your Pista? My original plan was to sell the Pista when the SF90 arrived but having driven the new car, it feels "more different" to a Pista than I expected and not a replacement for it. What are others doing in this situation?

    Keeping both. Pista is too sensational to part with.

    Me too, keeping both. How long we keep the SF90 depends on what comes next. They could replace the SF90 but they won’t make a replacement for Pista.

    Traded mine in on my SF90 and wish I didn’t. Miss that car.

    We met briefly when you where seeing your SF90 for the first time at FOW. You are a long time friend of Johnathan from what I remember.

    Like the others, I’ve kept my Pista spider as well as my 458. Both of them have their special place for me. Will likely keep my inbound GTS as well. As far as the SF90 Spider, we'll have to see how it "feels" once I get some time behind the wheel.

    Sold Pista spider. Unlike others, for me SF90 is better car. I don’t regret.

    The Pista will have a place in Ferrari history. A special place. Iconic. Yet, another reason to keep.

    Will the SF90 have a special place in Ferrari history?

    possibly, it's a car which has had a mixed reception which ironically can help give it a cult status

    Working against it, the SF90 is not LE, and has had so many battery/electrical glitches and in-service downtime that, at this stage, it's hard to say. I hope they get it worked out because the performance capabilities alone could make the car legendary.

    unfortunately I feel there's too many other fast cars (tesla plaid etc) of equal performance around for it to be noted in history for it's performance tbh

    it's a tricky time to be a sports car manufacturer

    Admittedly, I know little about Plaid. And, I don’t care to know more. But being just fast is only one box to check. Is it really a “performance car” or just a fast straight road car?

    Ferrari fell asleep when designing the SF90, very underwhelming design both in pictures and in real life. The interior, however, is stunning.

    That engine is a stunner, too.

    Disagree. Exterior is stunning for me. Interior needs rethinking and redesigning. Cup holder is useless. No suitable place for phone and side pocket barely holds anything. Center armrest is too small and lacks the overall length for cabin space, height and wideth is ok though. New racing seat is the best ever.

    I agree it's the better car. I personally have no interest in a Pista, but I do plan on keeping my F8. I think the SF90 and F8 will make for a perfect pair.

    Pista is my favourite car in my entire stable.. will be very hard to part with even with an incoming SF90 as well..

    Been posting about this in the picture thread, didn’t realize about this one.. after 3 days of using my Assetto Fiorano one, in sun and rain, the car is astounding, my pista is pointless now, doesn’t make sense to keep it, not rare, pita lithium battery problems, and looks expensive used against a New SF90 AF FIO 2 car. In Assetto Fiorano spec this car is a level up in all but looks, and the new racing seats are the best Ferrari seats I’ve ever been in.. it’s a tour de force..

    No idea how a f8 is better car unless you want a softer less aggressive overall feel.
