Since a number of GT3 and 3RS owners have Ferraris, here are some comparative reviews.

There it is again.....

"On the track it’s fantastic but on the road there’s no question that it isn’t quite as immersive as before. It’s a leap on in terms of absolute performance but a slight regression in terms of involvement. "

Like the looks but I'll take a 458 Speciale.

I'm guessing after he bought the FF, and pimped it like it was the next best thing to a sunny day in London?

Like Chris Harris's reviews. he says it's really fast a lot. I doubt I will trade my 458 for one we will see.
