I've been promised one of the first production allocations from Ferrari of Los Angeles. My 458 is for sale, and the wait for the new dream begins... Red???

Seems sacrilegious to get a Ferrari in anything other than red. I am a white car kinda guy and I have seen the 458 in white and think it's beautiful. However, would have to go red for a ferrari.

I've had 2 red 430's and the 458 is Grigio Silverstone. Think I might go back to red.

jwp98 is infamous around these parts
Eye wateringly beautiful. Can the clutches handle that power? Guessing no, but Ferrari had to gamble with all those McLaren tail lights in view.

It's fascinating how much kinder the Porsche guys are about the new 488 GTB than the guys on the Ferrari forum. The Ferrari guys have little nice to say. I guess it's because Porsche guys know what turbo power can do where the Ferrari guys think if it's not naturally aspirated, it will never be the same.

They're right, it will be different. I'm betting Ferrari found a way to maintain a great sound and the undeniable soul that Ferrari's possess. Hey, maybe it will be even better. One things for sure , the 488 will leave all but the LaFerrari in the dust!

It looks like the normally-aspirated game could only go so far with energy efficiency mandates, so it is great to see Ferrari wrap its turbocharged volume car in a drop-dead gorgeous design.

Funny but in order to drop seconds in these car comparisons, hybrid drive trains are now required.

Eh... The F40 wasn't a bad Ferrari...

I have a 'thing' for turbo Ferrari's. In my opinion, this is what the 458 should have been all along (I've had my issues with the 458 since day 1).
