Can't compare the sound of an F40 turbo with a 488....completely different animals. NA GP2 cars sound so much better than F1 turbo cars. Go figure.....

Gentleman,

I went for another drive in the 488 this weekend, and dare I say that it is growing on me worryingly fast...

I went to the 488 GTB preview at my local F car dealer last week and was really impressed with the cars looks and styling. I am on a list for 16 months out but I really love my 991 GT3 and can't have both.

I have not driven the 488 GTB but maybe thats a good thing being I would want the car more. 670 HP has to be amazing and I keep listing to you tube videos of the Turbo and its growing on me. Having owned a 458 in the past it is hard to believe the 488 GTB stomps it regarding performance but it does, just amazing!

I owned a 458 for 3 years. A fantastic car. An occasion every time I drove it. I honestly (price independent) preferred it to the 918 I drove.

I sold my 458 a month ago and was lucky enough to get a December 488 allocation. I can't wait.
