488GTB First Impression and pictures

Unfortunately I don't have much time for a detailed write up, but here's my first impression after couple of short drives. Clear bra finally goes on tomorrow.

This car is everything it's hyped up to be. When driving it aggressively, it sounds great, handles incredible and is absolutely killer fast. Is it as fast a 991TTS, I don't know. We will race the two of them one day, but my gut is it will be pretty close, unless we race from a dig, at which point the 488 won't stand a chance. One thing that is quite amazing about the car is the lack of turbo lag. I always thought the TTS turbo lag was minimal, but the 488 is quite incredible. I literally don't notice any.

I'll expand in detail when I get a little more time behind the wheel.

Here are a few pictures. It will only let me post one picture when using my iPad. I'll post a few more when I get to my laptop.

Outstanding. I'd say it would walk a stock 991TTS from a roll handily.

You are correct, Deuuuce. I raced one a couple of weeks ago from 65 - 145. He passed me like I was tied to a stump around 120. Sambo saw the video
