    We're at the point where you can be the fastest or just sound like you're the fastest.

    No problem but to get this street legal is the challenge... 

    Novitec is a tuner, so their requirements are less restrictive. I still doubt however that the exhaust in the videos would be street legal in Germany. Smiley Thinking of my R8 V10 Plus though, maybe it is... Smiley I just don't get those latest noise regulations. Smiley

    Fun fact of the day: The 488 is 28 seconds slower around Fiorano than the F1 car. 

    Brundle and Raikkonen messing around with the 488 and it's faster sibling:

    Sorry to hear that. Where did you purchased the car?

    Thankfully, you're still free to find yourself another dealer, even though the choice is quite limited in Belgium.
