On the 600LT - are allocations hard to come by in the U.S. or say no much more than a 720s allocation? I understand supply is limited to 1 year production but any colour on the demand side of the equation is appreciated!

Major dealers should be doing about 5 cars before calendar year 2019 and 10-15 cars total for next year plus or minus depending on geographical market, at least for US. It's not that many at all for a "non limited" car...WAY more GT2rs' in the market. FWIW My 600lt is the first customer car my dealer will deliver and it's due in about 5-7 weeks, the demo comes in 2 weeks...

^^^ Beutiful, and sickening fast. I drove a friends and it his 100 mph really really fast, and it’s incredibly stable. Be safe and congrats on the purchase. That car would get me arrested.

we have a fairly long list for 720 spiders and 600LT's but I am getting a good amount of cars.

Something tells me Mooty doesn't want to be bothered with a manual winding movement

Thoughts compared to the 488? Are both keepers?

definitely keeping the 488. 720 faster, more nimble, more rigid and stiff. 488- great car also, louder and more raw. But definitely not as fast. Each car has its own charm.

however, I kept hearing how Ferrari is in trouble, mclaren is catching up, and I ignored it as pointless banter. Have to say, mclaren is legit competition for Ferrari. The 720 is newer and dare I say better technology with the carbon tub?

good news for us end users is that the competition just gives us some amazing cars to enjoy.

excited to see the new Pista and see how it stacks up. But mclaren- it’s Levitt. The real deal.

The fiat really looks dated next to 720

488 is plenty good but you are comparing a 2010 design to a 2018 design. 488 evolved from 458 which was first introduced in 2010.

but yes the 720 has done an amazing job for design and performance. Thoroughly impressed.
