Default passed on a 4.0RS...
After weeks of back and fourth I made a big purchase. I was focused on a 4.0RS or a Carrera GT.

I didn't get the 4.0 or the CGT...anybody want to guess what I got?

To pass on a CGT and get away with it, you need a Pagani.

Just saying..

Thanks guys...and truly wasn't even considering the car. One 15 minute test drive and I was sold. Its not as fast as a Turbo S but there is something very special about the 458 italia. Will report back when I finish some good canyon runs.

458 is the first Ferrari in years that is worthy of their badge. Nice choice!
