Default Pics of my TTS and Ferrari F8

Got the F8 out of it’s winter slumber and put about 30 miles on it. Nice sunny day so I took some pics of the girls together.

Do you feel a size or mass difference between cars? I moved my F8 deposit over to the coming F171 hybrid hoping it is downsized a bit.

I can feel the extra weight of the 911, the F8 feels more sporty. I am not interested in electric cars yet, the F8 is the last of the mid engined V8’s with no hybrid assist.

Ya, the last and best of the V8's is compelling and it is beautiful.

amazing stable man. Can you speak a little more on the driving differences and engagement with each car?

I did a 90 min Porsche experience at PEC ATL this week with Turbo S.....track was wet but turbo S is a beast. Acceleration is brutal and it feels extremely planted. Corners surprisingly well despite weight probably because of PASM and rear wheel steering.

My local Ferrari dealership had debut of SF90 today so went to check that out...also got to test drive F8 (my brother has one on order). Interior is very comfortable. IMO I think its the best looking car out there right now. It's hella fast... couldn't even do WOT. Power in every Gear. it's quiet, more so than turbo S imo (which had sport exhaust). I really like the driver POV in the F8. Hood drops down so you feel like you're riding super low.

F8 looks stunning man.

I really haven’t had a chance to push the 911 in the corners as it is still cold here. There is more lag in the 911 than the F8, the F8 just shoves you hard in every gear whereas there is some less shove in the 911 in the mid range. From a dead start using launch control the 911 is crazy fast. It will out run the F8 until the F8 catches and passes it around 70mph plus. The 911 is a super car you can drive everyday and the F8 is a special occasion car every time you drive it. I agree when driving the F8 the front just disappears and I love seeing the engine in my rear view mirror. Looks a bit more impressive than when you open the engine bay of the 911 LOL.

Dream car lineup for sure... very, very nice. Not sure how to improve on that.
I guess, if it were me; I'd have the F8 in a Spyder, and the 992TTS in a hard top.
But you must grin from ear to ear, every time you open your garage door...

Beautiful rides. I haven’t been a big fan of the way Ferrari is going with their styling like in the new Roma. However, the F8 still has some classic Ferrari styling and looks wonderful.

Do you see the 308/288 in the side view of the front end? Unlike the Pista. Takes me back to the Magnum PI days.

thanks for the pictures. The local PCA region joined up with the Santa Barbara region for a canyon run yesterday and they had fifty Porsches.
