Too bad they didn’t include a GT2 RS on Cup R’s in the test....

488 Pista is a great car, but the numbers are pretty meaningless without knowing what tires were on the other cars. Ferrari sounded really good for a turbo, too

Pista base is 350K average one with options probably 450K. They are also hard to get. Just get a 488 a fantastic car.

Thats nice but will it survive a DE year at Sebring?

Somethings seems off with how far better the Pista times are compared to others....interesting though

Mid engine placement is right, hanging the engine off the back end adds bias

I wonder what the weight of that Pista test car was.

That lap time is so astounding as to be borderline ridiculous.

Curious what a lap time for the 488 would be with Cup 2 R tires.

No way that car is legit.

The g-meter registered 2.45g on a 30mph right turn, none of my slicks or Hoosiers have done that in none of my past and present cars. Please, sell me those tires.

At NCM,

1. Senna: 1:23.34 (Trofeo R)
2. GT2RS (Cup2R): 1:24.22
3. ZR1: 1:25.93 (Cup2)
4. 488 Pista: 1:27.39 (3 secs slower than the GT2RS). It was 3,308 lbs on the R&T scales, just 72 lbs lighter than my 991 Turbo S.

With turbochargers, Ferrari technicians can cheat even more than before, then add cheater tires.

I love how when the GT3RS runs on MPSC2 R’s everyone says how amazing the lap times arw but when a Ferrari does the same we call Ferrari cheaters. We should be happy cars are getting better and faster. The more competition the better for the next gen of GT3’s and RS’.
