    If you buy the 458 you'll have to dig your outdated matching Ferrari/Puma merchandise out of the closet. If you buy the 488, you can buy all new matching merchandise! That should make the decision easier... o_O

    That’s the problem with most consumers, dustman, and it’s what companies use to manipulate them. They think newer and more money always equals better. There’s a whole industry of high end audio cables that manipulate buyers into buying ridiculously priced product based on this fundamental flaw of human nature.

    I just got home from driving my triple yellow 458 Spider. Absolutely gorgeous and electrifying to drive.
    FYI...Not only am I not seeking a 488...I turned down a Pista allocation.

    Stunning car in yellow.
    I spec my Pista next week and am debating selling the 458 Spider. I just got it a few months ago and love it but also have Performante Spider.

    OK, so my verdict is finally in. I drove the 488GTB. It was as amazing as others described. I was actually impressed with the sound. I was very concerned that I would be disappointed. My 360 had a Tubi, the 458 speaks for itself. I've since traded up my 911S for a Carmine red 911GTS Cabriolet. It's a great DD. I pulled the trigger on a 2019 White 488GTB. Black wrap roof, Black carbon sport seats with red contrast stitching, red calipers, carbon/ LED steering wheel, carbon real accents and shields of course. I'm very happy with the build out. She is arriving next week or so. Pics to follow.

    I never I would say this. If you don't mind turbo, you have to try redline at 3rd gear in 720s. Then make a decision... Oh never mind, just saw your last text. 488 is great! Post pics!

    I put the Tubi straight pipe exhaust on my 488 Spider and it sounds awesome. White is a great color. You will love it.
