Chris encouraged me to share some pics and my experience with my new 488 GTB on here, just took delivery on Monday and Tuesday did an epic drive from SF to LA
The car is incredible, a bit more grand tourer than the sharper and more scalpel like GT3. So on corners, twists and turns the GT3 feels more capable, planted, and sharp. Lighter, more nimble, tossable. But this car redefines what fast feels like for me, just feathering the throttle I am getting smacked in the seat. Noise is fantastic. And really enjoying the exotic experience for my first supercar/Fcar, just so different from the 911s across the board
Thanks for sharing some epic roads Chris - this drive I did 101 to 58 to I5. Was planning on 33 south from 58 (33 is one of my all time favorite roads), but just ran out of time. First time doing 58 and it was heaven. 33 feels like ACH on steroids to me, but 58 was so diverse through canyons and then some flats with oscillations, amazing changes in scenery with pristine roads. And best part is it feels like it never ends. Beautiful weather for the drive, and saw 10-15 people get pulled over by CHP so I'm grateful I was not one of them!
Forgot to post some of homemade fish tostados. Kills everything I’ve had actually beside a recent trip to B.C. believe it or not. Luz Tacos is your in the Squamish/Whistler area. But Man, props to those that can cook at home and do some/bunch of great plates for folks.
Nice share, did you look at the 458 at all before deciding on the 488?
Yep, definitely looked at both. Liked the 458 for all the wrong reasons: hype. Last of pininfarina, last Ferrari ME NA V8, basically resale value which I never cared about. Actually enjoyed the 488 much more, felt more solid, much newer with the tech, and feels just as NA but quite a bit faster
If I was after a 9k NA screamer I'd still have a GT car and do hope to add another some point in the future

Sam, beautiful car! One picture of sushi (even from Trader Joe's) would keep your post relevant!! I'm pdxjim488 on that other forum.
