    Congratulations to you! First Ferrari? If not how does this compare to other ones you have owned? ​

    Second Ferrari, after an F430. This one is a lot less "raw" but honestly more enjoyable for me since it really feels like I can take it anywhere anytime rather than, well, on a short drive around before returning home. I've heard the 488s are actually a lot more comfortable than the F430 I had before as well, I may have to do a test drive in one one of these days.

    I can attest to this, the 488 has both more room in the interior and more comfortable seats. Rented a 488 spider in Vegas a few months ago for 3 days. Honestly I did like the car even though I was scheduled to have the 458 spider but something happened to that car and was being repaired ( for the second time after it was damaged during unloading ). I still prefer the California but I had no issues driving it from Vegas to the Hoover dam and from the dam to Mt. charelston and all thru the roads up there in one day. I don’t think I could have driven the 430 that much in one day as my hips and lower back would have been too sore.

    Car looks sharp! Would you mind sharing where you purchased the exterior CF pieces? Specifically the side vents and the gas cap look great.

    Thank you for the compliment.

    I purchased my upgrades from many different sources but the (Novitec) gills (side vents) came from Scuderia Car Parts and the (Ferrari) gas cap cover from my dealer Ferrari of Ontario. However, you can actually get any of these CF parts from the same sources as well as other popular Ferrari parts warehouses and even eBay. The only exception may be the CF side skirts, which came direct from the manufacturer, RevoZport.

    I have put 4K Miles on it in one year. Enjoying it significantly, really does handle well, very predictable and forgiving near the limits.

    Well, you made a fan out of me. The fact that you take as much care and pride in that Firebird as you do the Ferrari and Mercedes' tells me you're a man that appreciates a good t-bone as much as his Filet Mignon.
