Sad day as well, as now I must buy a 458.




note to 911 owners, dont drive a 458....

Nice photo. Never seen a white 458. Dont worry your 991s is 90% at 40% the cost!
BTW that Camry in the backdrop is really moving!

 

Yes , the only way to get closer to the speed and feeling of a 458 is a 991s with paddle shift. Ferrari got it so right with the 458, I wish there was more loyal support for the 991

 

When you get right down to it, all is has over the 991 is another 175 HP or so, trick air scoops and exits, a mid engine, and about a heard's worth of buttery soft Italian leather.

 

and of course the placebo of a Ferrari.

 

If someone offered a heads up trade I would take it in a heartbeat. But I don't know if I could live with it the way I live with my Porsche- which is to drive it and enjoy it all the time (commuting to work and everywhere else). But it sure would be fun to find out!

My friends with Ferraris swear by them, and at them. They are in ecstasy about the performance and the image and in agony about the cost of service. Figure 5k a year for routine service, maybe twice that if they do track days.

Its just $$ at an equivalent step up in proportion to performance I guess.

 

Think of all the money you are saving on maintenance costs

 

Think of all the money you are saving on purchase cost. Just screams $$$$$.....nice as it is, not for me.....

 

Pretty sure that is a base.

 

kind of agree with everyone here. And your 991 is holding her own next to it. Trust me.

 

Agree with all the comments re Ferraris and their service costs, but boy if only Porsche can get their engines to sound like Ferraris, I'd be in heaven!

 

i wish i could say 90% of the car,

best car i have ever driven and i've driven quite a few exotics.

 

Try a Scud yet? PM me next time you are in Ohio...

 

I was in Vega 2 weeks ago, and saw a white 458 being valeted at the Wynn. Very nice to see this color on an F.
