Some may call it crazy….
Those who know mid-engine Ferrari may still may call it crazy, or understand for sure.. (given the circumstances/collection)
Went to the F1 Grand Prix in Miami a couple weeks ago, as I sat and watched, loving that beautiful sound coming from the cars, I realized how much I miss having that true F1/ferrari sound. I didn’t have that in my garage at that time. I do now.
After adding the Roma a few months ago, using it for all activities…date nights, cars & coffee, weekday driving, etc…. It’s a great do it all front engined GT Ferrari. Absolutely brilliant car.
However…I’ve always had something for truly spirited mountain drives in Atlanta/N GA area, something that I could actually use the power and enjoy on twisty or normal roads, something I’m not going to track, with great driver engagement and feedback….and proper (IMO) sound!
The F8 is good for most of that, it’s a stellar and gorgeous F car.
But given the fact the Roma is louder than the F8, and the F8 is hard to enjoy the power (I’m not taking it to the track), it’s scary fast IMO, too much for my skills to enjoy especially on public roads, … I made a change.
This led me back to a 458, (I posted at one point that I would get this car back), and ATL Ferrari happened to take one in that was perfect for me. The 458 is a car I’ve owned before and just followed the natural progression to a 488 then F8. Had the F8 almost 3yrs, enjoyed it (not as much as I should’ve), but adding the Roma really pushed me back into the 458 for all the reasons I’m sure many may be aware of…N/A, 9k rpm, screaming good sound, last Pininfarina design, etc..
Ended up finding a perfect spec (for me), the year I wanted, perfect miles (for my wants), perfect story/maintenance record, replacement for my F8.
Enough blah, blah, blah
