thank you.

this car is more than great! similar , yet different to the GT3.
much lighter front, better visibility, sharper (not better!) steering.
very, very fast...I don't want the 488....EVER

acceleration is perfect...not the jolt of my 750 hp/tq ZR1, nor does it take 9K rpm of the GT3 to get 'er going. PERFECT.

comfortable...bit very confusing electronics ...I have a doctorate and still feel like an idiot trying to get this car in gear?!?!??!

oh well, I love this car and my Gt3 (and my pedestrian ZR1)

Life is good...cheers!

Dig it. I really appreciate the 458's. I'll be adding a Scud next then a 458 myself.

Congrats on the new addition. Would be interested in the comparison with the GT3. I am thinking of taking the 458 plunge now, versus the RS allocation waiting game I'm in with Porsche.
