Default What Ferrari?? Let's check out the C8!

Went to visit some friends at NJMP the other week during one of their open track days and decided to park behind this Ferrari 488. It was crazy to see the reaction people had to the C8 when there was a beautiful Ferrari 488 just sitting there. I know it is because the C8 is new and there aren't a lot of them running around, but I thought this picture was really awesome (and kind of funny).


What Ferrari??

Nice! People are interested in something they can actually have a reasonable chance of obtaining. (If they end up building more)

Nice photos. But if I had deep pockets, 488 all the way. Bianco Avus per favore.

But I don't. So, here I am. Arctic White, please.

To be fair, and not taking anything away from your C8 Bill, which looked great BTW, but the 488 was there at 7am and got plenty of eyeball. By the time you arrived around 2 ish, that 488 was old hat.
