No one has mentioned the car's weight 2800lbs was what I saw, and with 711hp, That is pretty amazing for a Ferrari, no?

That weight quote borders on the unbelievable... it's probably dry weight without fluids.. Ferrari trickery, Ducati does it also, just doesn't seem likely

It's turbo charged so comparing it to the sound of the NA 430/458 is a bit unfair. But, I agree. AMG has turbocharged engines and they sound very good for what they are.

Pista is nice, but I don't really know if it's worth it...personally, I'm much more excited about the 812. At least it'll sound like a "real" Ferrari.

812 is the way to go - the NA days are numbered. The 458 Speciale is rising in price for reason.

You should it's the last Pininfarina - next 488 Ferrari already seen testing will be TT like the Ford GT.

The best cars are leaving or already left the factory as Turbo fills the gap until electrics take over.

Porsche seriously need to take a lesson from Ferrari on how to do a website for their GT cars.

If the 488P offers 100 more hp and feels like a Speciale - will be shocked!

Turbo's have issues - Ford has been producing them for a long time and their GT is struggling and 2RS requires water to make the 700hp function.

Have my doubts about Ferrari's 488P - time will tell not PR.
