Ferrari 488 GTB - The New McLaren Killer

A giant leap in design. This thing makes every other supercar look dated. It looks bloody awesome from every angle, except from the side imo.

look at those brake rotors and calipers! Probably the coolest thing on this car lol.

A bit pathetic that a V8 twin turbo is only putting out 670hp No?

edit:
660 horsepower @ 8,000 rpm
560 lb-ft Torque @ 3,000 rpm

I'll take a Z06 any day over that. Save quite a few bucks too, especially when you add in maintenance costs.

Do you really think that anyone who buys the 488 GTB is worried about the maintenance cost?

lol Worried... not when they buy it, because they might not know yet. When they invite you to buy one, do they go over all this info? Most likely, I suppose.

Is wasting money ok, just because you have a lot of it?

Not to say you someone can't appreciate this automobile. I was just saying it's rather weak for a V8 twin turbo. I'd be embarrassed to get smoked by an 80k car in this thing.

Every time I read that someone prefers a Corvette or a Viper over an Italian supercar this comes to mind...

Easiest car to drive at the limit, best value for money and offering unmatched reliability in this segment is the the Nissan gt-r. Go attend a track day with a gt-r and humble all those porsches and ferraris. The look on the faces of their owners is priceless.

They are nice (the Nissan's). My neighbor had one for a few months, he now has 2015 Z06.

I see a good amount of Ferrari's where I live and where I used to work all the time. I never really liked them. I understand you're paying for the badge, a hand made Italian car... what a ripoff.

Have you ever gone over 120+mph on the water? For fun, thrills, status and more pussy than you can handle... I suggest that route, something like a Skater or a Formula. That's a decent waste of money.
