Soul sea you make me LOL.
Rode in my buddies 2RS this morning and then jumped in my 3RS. Not once all morning did a think about any Ferraris.
Left the brand when my dealer demanded I buy an FF to get a speciale. They aren't that speciale to me.
Give me 2RS, 3RS, and CGT and I am in heaven. Sorry i like go to fast and I don't care who's watching me.
And lastly i prefer the 458's to 488's

The Pista is a special animal that looks even better in the flesh.
Give me a 458 over a 488 and a 3RS WP on Mags over a 2RS. Oh and a CGT over them all.

Lovely color but 67K for the paint? Yet you find $2500 for carpeting outrageous and thus opted not to get it? What am I missing?
That said, it's a fantastic looking car.

Derek, congrats AGAIN ;-)
what a machine.
I've driven pista and the sound is otherworldly
in response to you question why PAG can't paint your color even if you paid up.... do u have German friends? I have many... good ones. but I tell them in their face, they are some of the most illogical ppl around (engineering ok... not the best... business and tech logic... ZERO)
enjoy

Thanks for the kind words all. Vantage is at the dealer have not collected the car yet they are borrowing it for display in their showroom...no rush in getting it. Before I dropped off the Pista at the wrap place I did drive it for about 60km on it and was able to do some small pulls around the city. Did not get a chance to hammer the car from a light but at highers speeds around 40-50km it does feel faster than the 2RS...need more seat time when the car returns after a week. Pista steering feels lighter and more nimble but the 2RS feels more planted...maybe the 2RS also has less wheel gap and sits lower with stiffer shocks. Regarding the carpet I feel its just made from regular material nothing special can probably get much nicer custom ones made for fraction of the price. The paint is special color and no one that I am aware of has this blue in this country so willing to pay extra to be different. The aluminum floors to me look nice but if there was no aluminum and just cloth floors then for sure would get the carpets. Guess everyone is different some will spend more on a certain option. I hate that there are so many miami blue 2RS in this country would gladly pay more to have PTS but nope.

"The only thing I dislike about Porsche is even if customers willing to spend extra money on a special color it still cant be done...confused."
PTS is available on the GT2RS in Taiwan. A few of my friends got PTS on their GT2RS and it's less than 67k (no stripes though).

No doubt that Ferrari builds works of art - and they drive great, but being a prior 575 Maranello owner, I've found the maintenance
required fixing things that frequently break and the huge costs of parts and maintenance make their ownership very burdensome.
Several Ferrari owning HPDE students have also found it very discouraging to track Ferraris. A good friend tracks a relatively new
Ferrari Challenge Car but has not had a single day that his car has made it through all Red group DE sessions without breaking,
despite having his own Race Team Crew present. He now brings his Porsche Turbo S as a back-up Track car when the F breaks.
It is easy to see why the average Ferrari Owner puts under 1,000 Miles annually on their cars. But I still love the way they look -
as long as someone else is paying the bills.

Surprised the OP didn't opt for the carbon wheels?
Overall a beautiful spec and nearly identical to one of my own early renders. I settled on Rosso Fuoco with Nero Stellato stripes. It’s in production as we speak.
