Damn what a pair!

You have enough info, while we have decent weather, find a R.C.458coupe, diamond cut blk wheels, beautiful S,F. yellow fender shields, maybe blk Daytona seats, or carbon fiber race seats, start that melodious Ferrari V8. Maybe C.F. center console, C.F./ leather wheel with dancing shift lights. Once you ignite that beautiful 4.5Liter V8, tickle the throttle a bit, start thru the gears, @ 9,000rpm if your not addicted, well, leave it running, I'll take.
Nothing left to say, mount up that stallion, hammer down! SOLD! SOLD! SOLD!
Merry Christmas.

My used GR 458 Italia is being delivered next week ready for New year..It will sit in the garage next to my 991.2GT3 and 981 Spyder. Obviously during the initial honeymoon period i expect its the 458's keys i'll grab first for obvious reasons..Come Spring when the weather warms up it'll be interesting which keys i grab first !
When i picked up my Spyder last April i drove it most for the first few months, with the top down 100% helped by the sweltering summer we enjoyed in the UK. When the initial excitement waned i was drawn back towards the GT3 and it crystallized what an amazing engine it has,
I was in exactly the same thought process as Robmypro only a couple of months ago until the urge got too much to bear and i just had to satisfy my curiosity and get a 458..You will experience these exact thoughts only satiated by getting the Ferrari you crave so much.
Which ones i choose to keep will be decided in the early Summer after i get familiar with the 458 although if i can't decide i might just keep all three,,!
