Hopefully, the transaxle like ZR1 will absolutely blow the Sports Car worlds big money cars out of the water. IE The 488 hasn't been stupendously fast, and stable! Going there!? They may hold off! Their data!?
Why can't you complete a simple sentence that people can understand? How does a grown man end up with such an embarrassing command of the English language?

I have come to the conclusion that English must be a second language for him. His posts are super hard to follow but I give him a pass because English cannot be his primary native language.

Be there ZR1; I understand for some it's a lot to handle!

Also

Is Ferrari running a RWD car with only 700 lbs of DF? Autonomousness!?

Like Pobst said, "I used the electronics and I had, or the car had, a drift going"....Yep - I'm done here!

But again

If the ZR1 can compete well with the 488 here may it be because of its new TECH, and not just because of its home court advantage.
Otherwise, The Ring still works, of course!

Thanks again

I agree with the OP you’ll be able to find these anywhere.. just like I was able to just waltz in and buy my ZL1 which perceived to be “limited” lol..

Default Cooling off

I have an allocation and I'm starting to think twice. For the past two weeks no news about build start. No communication from GM about a build start.Lots of nothing. I'm losing my drive.....

Well, you can always stroll into a Ferrari dealership and place an order for a 488 GTO and report back how well that goes. . . . .

^^^^ No kidding. Idiotic sales practices by Ferrari. Particularly in this day, when you can stroll into a Lambo or Maclaren dealership and actually purchase what you want.

Default Msrp + $15k

My dealer in Delray Beach FL called me today to place my order. Convert,A8 loaded. Wanted plus $15K. Told him to call me when he can do MSRP. My Z06 will suffice for now.

Idiotic? Not quite. To a certain degree, it keeps the riffraff out. Many of my peers in tech have a Lamborghini or McLaren, especially since there is a dealership right in Palo Alto. But at least in my 488, if another one pulls up next to me, I know it's not the owner's first rodeo.

The 2nd year of the C6 ZR1 there was so many of those cars left on a dealer lots that they ended up giving them away for $25,000 off MSRP.
I guess I'll have to suffer with my C7 ZO6 for a year.
