I was lucky to stumble into this car that became available at the last moment. Really looking forward to getting some miles on it as soon as the clear bra is done.

Nero metallic, every matte CF option known to mankind, even the engine bay....

Nice! Looking forward to hearing about your thoughts on it, when you get a chance to put it through the paces. How far off is your GT?

DoctorV8 will definitely push the car to its limit on the track. We are just waiting for his report.

Jaxgt helped me take the Pista out to CoTA last month. I followed him in the GT, and the Mclarens were delivered to me.

The car is as fast as a 720S/Senna on the back straight at CoTA. It's sprung a bit softer than I'd like, but the grip is there from the Cup 2s. I had all 4 out at the track last month, and it's about as fast on track as the new GT, even though it is 15 mph faster on the long straights. Was just getting acclimated though....spent more time in the McLarens. I'll have it back out there this weekend.

I put a deposit on the 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo....I understand performance will be at a par with the Pista. Brooke will be interesting how it’s performs on a straight track against your NFGT.

Pista leaves the GT for dead on the straights. I like the feel of the GT a little better in the tight stuff.

Agreed. No one can every accuse you of not using your cars as they were intended. Impressive.

Great buy. My 488 is one of the best cars I’ve owned. I’d love a Pista if I could find one.
