    Hello everyone! I just put in my deposit for the 296gts in October, patiently waiting for my first Ferrari to get delivered in 2026.

    I have been extremely lucky to get an allocation without owning a Ferrari. Excited to join this forum and love to see people discussing the cars they love.

    My favorite model is the 488 Pista, will get one for sure. Hopefully within the next two years!

    May the horse be with you!

    Welcome!
    It’s a long wait but worth it to spec your own.
    It’s an incredible car.
    Maybe pick up a beater 430 or 360 while you wait! Lol

    Welcome! I agree with [mention]vonbeeler [/mention] - Surely the dealer must have something pre-owned that’ll help tide you over for the next 3 years!

    Well, I guess if Ohtani can wait 10 years to get paid, I suppose you can endure the wait on the 296.

    Congratulations on the allocation.

    Welcome !! 2026 is a long wait, Im curious , why wait for the 296 for 2 years plus, when you can buy a good used Pista right now ? The Pista is the sickest Ferrari made since the Enzo / F40 and F50 !!

    430sc is definitely a kill, the exhaust sound is amazing!

    Lol because I can't afford a 488 Pista right now, that's why I aim to get one within the next two years. Need some time to fill out my bankroll and the "wife pass card" first haha!

    My bad I thought a used Pista was cheaper or around the same as a new 296 .
