Real world experience is what I speak of, and Ferrari isn’t even in the same playing field as Macs. I too live in Texas and I have raced everything in my stable from 1k hp C7 Corvette to my last Mclaren I had which I can back up MY data points too. Not trying to pick a fight with you, however don’t let YOUR favorite car come in between the superior performing car and yours.

As to real world experience with Ferrari, it looks like you don't have any so who are you to comment on the Ferrari? I have owned two of them and they are both superior to the 991tts. I did enjoy my tts and I might get a 992 tts when they come out. Why don't we drop this 720s vs 488 discussion? It's not interesting to me as I have the car I want and the OP asked about both. You tell him about your 720s and I can tell him about my 488.

The car that is $100k off is probably a low VIN launch car sold in 2017 loaded with every option which can add up like a P-car. It would be almost two years now with typical depreciation. I think the Turbo dropped more than that but leveled out every year. Who knows what the 720 will do. Certified cars are only dealer inspected. They don’t come with an extra year of warranty but it can be bought if the car isn’t modded.

It's not as fast off the line only because it doesn't have the AWD but it leaves the 991tts in the dust after the first 1000 feet or so. I ran a lot of quarter miles out on my county road and I took the Ferrari out there last fall to test it. It ran 10.91 @ 134 on 93 vs my Stage 4 991tts which ran 10.4@131 on 93 under the same conditions. The 60ft was 1.88s on the Ferrari and for the 991tts it was 1.56s so there is .3s right there in ET. I think the 488 would do better if I used the ESC off setting on the manettino, I had it on RACE. The 0-60 was only 3.2s with a 1ft rollout so clearly the car was traction limited off the line but it's very much stronger than the Porsche which can be seen in the trap speed. In addition, I could tell that the 488 was faster because I was able to hit 150 before needing to brake safely which was not the case for the Porsche.

So, I'd say the TTS vs 488 comparison here isn't correct. (straight line performance wise)

My Mclarens trapped best 138mph @ 10.50 same track roughly same time of year... other similar Macs were trapping 140plus in other parts of the country. All my dragy times were/are slower than other comparable cars, with similar mods. Bottom line... our air in Texas with the exception of Baytown usually is bottom of the barrel on trap and et’s.

To each his own though. Glad you like your Fcar and Mcars.
