Daydreaming Ferrari

cossie1600

I wouldn't consider a manual because most of the manual cars are too old and I want my wife to enjoy the experience. Also the best part about driving the F458 was the transmission, it felt and sounded like you are in a racing game. I drove the car at the track day experience, so their cars were definitely abused. I remember the tires didn't have the same grip as my Z, I am guessing they were higher treadwear tires. Anyway the 991 GTS pulled nearly as hard as the Ferrari, the driving position felt better to me in nearly every way except the sound, the steering wheel and the logo. I just like the driving experience and feel way better. I only had couple laps in each car, so its not like I made love to it.

Computer driving the car? This is not autopilot

If you are still around here, what happened? Did you take the plunge?

Curious about the Cali myself now. Might have an opportunity to get on the F-car bandwagon and that seems to be the on-ramp. Don’t need a raw sports car (have that), don’t want a manual (yeah, flame me - I own a racing suit ), have an appetite for a grand tourer, and do not really want an open top but as a hard top convertible the California should give me the best of both worlds without having to sell both of my kidneys (have a chance to get a 599GTB, my very favourite Ferrari of the modern era, too, but that’s $100,000 more!!!).

Do tell, what happened and update us on your thoughts, please.
