No emotion. Have these discussions in the right place. I like every new Ferrari but I don’t foam at the mouth over them. They have their flaws and issues like everything else.

 

Very sorry for those who will get offended by this: The car is ugly. The front looks like something Mazda would do to refresh the RX-8 and the back is like something Chevy would do to refresh the 2010 Camaro. I do not see Ferrari language anywhere.

I get it, the Roma and the California are the ones that will keep Ferrari in business until they sort out the electric and SUV/Crossover thoughts with the therapist.

 

Have you seen it in person?

If not, I withhold judgment until you do.

If you have, then carry on.

 

They quit making the California. And its replacement is stunning.

 

The upcoming Roma convertible is replacing the Portofino (the successor the Cali T)

 

Infomercial? Ha! That's fun - didn't expect that. Figured you guys would enjoy this thread - maybe a couple of you did. Anyways, I have a call into Ferrari of Washington, think I'm going to order one and sell off my 991 S Cab before it gets to winter. Will take a year to get one, I can wait. It's the finest car I personally have ever driven by a wide margin. After owning (5) Porsches 911's over 40 years (and still have a Macan S in the garage) it's time to try something new.

 

Good read but there is a proper place for everything: https://rennlist.com/forums/other-ma...scussions-222/

 

Did enjoy it and others who have seen and drove the car. Personally think it is beautiful. No surprise on some of the nasty responses as it’s common here now to slam and ridicule what one may not know.

 

This a respected RLer and Porsche guy (always quick to anyone on here) posting something he thought we might enjoy that he had a chance to experience. A post about a car, not a fragrance or emblem, or puddle light......

 

It's also a post comparing a car to a 911.

 

so that’s a reason to get postal and disrespectful. Aren’t we comfortable enough with what we own ? You are on RL with an Fcar avatar, do you get hate mail.?

 

I think you and ipse dixit are on the same page.
This was a nice comparo from a 991 owner and I appreciated the insight on the car in this forum. Heck, the GT3 section has a multi year thread going in Mclaren and Merc GTR. Before someone says that doesnt make it right, well since they have been there so long I guess it doesnt make it wrong either.

 

I have never been fortunate enough to own either but bully for you ! The 488 felt jittery and not confidence inspiring to an amatuer. The GT3 felt planted and much faster on the straight. The braking into corner 1 also felt superior but that could have something to do with when I drove the car, etc.. My lap time was much faster in the GT3.

I also drove the new at that time Z06 that day with 600 plus HP. I guess there is someone who was talented enough to drive that car fast but it was certainly not within my capabilities.

 

Um, relax. I was actually agreeing with you.

 

Very much enjoyed and appreciated the post and thought it was quite appropriate here. Unfortunately the whiners seem to be everywhere these days.
