296 GTB
Estimated price by auto magazines- $250k. Similar price to some GT cars with ADM. While it's difficult to compare without the car being out there, it's food for thought. When considering the GT RS price, then it's really interesting.

I was at the dealer today at the price is not been issues yet. The only news was 269 euro which is 300k / my GT3 build with 20k adm is 230k. /. I build one on the dealer conf and the concept was estimated 330-350k for a good low option spec. It was 15k nonrefundable depot and estimates 16-18 months on delivery.

The reason I looked at the car was exactly the same reason you suggested. I have an RS coming but I am sure it will have an ADM even with me giving them my GT3. My estimate was 280k / and with that 300-320k is not much difference.

ferrari over RS any day. RS is great but 830 hp— diffeeent planet. Used to own a 488 and an RS and the 488 was my preference by a mile as good as the RS was. 296 should be a great machine.

Supposedly the F8 stops production next year with no hint of a replacement (or a special) so Ferrari's super car range will likely be a V6 Hybrid and a V8 Hybrid fof the foreseeable future
TBH I like the more classic curves of the GTB, hinted at by the Roma, over the angular F8, the convertible version should be a lot of fun.

Me too. My 488 just seemed a bit more "special" compared to my Porsche. Something about the smell of the leather? Not sure...it was hard to describe but I would probably rather have a 296 over an RS....albeit they have 2 different goals. As suggested earlier, perhaps in comparison to a TTS, the GTB would probably be my choice....although likely $50K more specc'd out

Sharing my perspective here hoping it will be helpful to potential buyers. The sad thing is, I have nothing to gain but risk upsetting Ferrari (therefore reducing my chances of getting allocation of future special cars).
To be clear, I love Ferrari and have a new 812 SF arriving soon (likely one of the last if not the very last one to be produced). I have had a 458 Italia, F12, 488 GTB (~18k miles on those combined). I wasn’t able to get over a bit of disappointment with my 488 GTB and passed on the Pista. Although I regret passing on the Pista a bit but am also glad as that sent me down the McLaren path (loving my 765LT).
Anyhow, Porsche does specs the way I expect. But Ferrari is a bit different. With the 9000 rpm max revs on my 911.2 GT3T (also applied to a 991.2 GT3RS that I had), I get full power under WOT until 9000 rpm.
488 GTB specs has 8000 rpm as max rev and 812 has 8900 rpm as max rev. However, in manual shifting mode (regardless of driving modes), a “soft” rev limiter kicks in a good bit before stated max revs. In 4th gear, it kicks in around 7400 rpm on the 488 GTB. And it seems to be around 8500 rpm for the 812 SF & GTS. The good thing it, it seems like Pista, F8, and likely the 812C all behave more like how Porsches behave.
I have shared this before and it can be upsetting to some. Yes, I understand that it’s probably not needed for performance and Ferrari has good reasons for tuning them this way. I am still going to enjoy my 812SF (it will be a keeper).
I think this information can help set expectations and avoid disappointment for potential buyers. In short, if you are used to Porsche specs, you might want to find out how a Ferrari of interest behaves in reality if you are particularly about these things.
