I don't see anywhere in that article that says it puts it behinds the 488 and GT3RS?

If it's behind the 488 then it must be really crap, because IMO the 488 is crap. I drove it. Brakes fade. Noise is bleh. Sorta fast in a straight line. Exterior looks just like a 458.

So I doubt the 720 is behind the 488. Super highly doubt.

If their estimated price for a GT3RS, is $146,000, I am not sure I can trust their assessment. Also, is GT3 an exotic? These days I read the Economist with a grain of salt,

Wasn't a true comparison between the 3 cars, so I don't think that ranking list below has any relevance.

I reserve coffee for RL - nothing like a good Cappuccino with a good thread on depreciation

Anyone putting an exhaust system on their 570 S/GT? Word from the boys in the back is AWE is the system to get. Have a friend thinking about a 570GT, but coming from a V10 Lamborghini he feels like even with the sports exhaust the 570GT is not giving enough bite / sound. I think it's tuned like that for the car and the grand tourer setup.

I was told that Larini makes a great exhaust for the 570.

I drove the spider 488 and it was amazing.It sounds much better than 458 to me(chris harris also agrees with me) and handling is great for a fun car road car. No idea about track performance but it was way faster then my c7 z06 on a erm.. closed road

Appreciated!

The Pacific 570GT has arrived that I posted about a few weeks ago. Never titled- 7250 miles. $236k sticker- fyi. If you want a nice 570GT for the summer- Cruise PCH to Monterey? That's what I want to do at least.

Cheers-

Nice to see a mean looking 570S next to the famous blue armco on the track at Watkins Glen International today.
