    Eric , have the dealer open your valves permanently for even better sound.

    congrats! Love the rear wing (they must’ve copied the design from the Perf). Big upgrade in power from the 430, and HTC to boot! I also like your 21s in the back, looks marvelous……

    Thank you! I was dead set on removing the wing until I saw it in person. I love it!

    Yes, way faster….. and the difference in shifting is just insane.

    I did same. Only thing I miss from 430 is the roar of the full Kline exhaust
    488 is magical [emoji3]

    yeah, mine screamed too. I swear it screamed even more on my way to trade it in! Haha

    sline and fabspeed headers.

    my 488 has full exhaust with no cats, but it’s nothing like the 430. But still cool and loud in its own way!

    Congrats Eric!
    You came a long way. I remember when your 355 was totaled. Happy that you now are in a modern day Ferrari.
    Btw I am jealous too!

    How are you liking the 488 if you still have it? And do you miss the F430 at all?

    I like my 488. I dunno, I miss all my old cars.

    I miss my 97 NSX the most.
