Re: 488 GTB/GTS
Rossi:pmarkow:oday we had our test drive in the 488GTB on the hungaroring. we (12 ferraris) took off from vienna and drove out to budapest...quite a sight to behold for those we passed on the highway:::))))
after the introductory lap in our own cars (about fifty ferraris, see the first attached pic) on the track there were individual test drives with the 488, fifteen minutes each. so there is really nothing on the 488's performance that i can add which you don't know already. estethically i really like the car, even the side scoops. as far as i am concerned the weakest part is the rear end, which seems overly busy. they had cars in rosso met (too dark for my taste), rosso corsa (much better) and one in giallo modena with black roof (). the sound: not bad for a turbo charged car, but nothing like the 458.
all in all, it is a tough decision between the 458 speciale and the 488GTB but in the end i shall opt for the 488.

Sorry to say, but your driving report sounds frighteningly sobering.
you are so right.......the 488 has everything going for it brainwise, but not as far as the heart is concerned.
i am still working on a slot for the F12 VS, slim chances though.
