    There priced nicely so much car 488 is a beast 458 is nice also but to me front of it looks out dated and 488 performance is far superior to a 458 each is own I prefer the 488

    Congratulations!!

    Just be careful the 488 is a fair bit quicker than the 458!!

    Not that any of the “I love the sound of my 458” crew will ever acknowledge.... LOL!!

    Faster heck yeah, the Tesla Model X100D is also faster than the 360CS, but which one would you have more fun in?;)

    I know that I would have more fun in the 360CS as it is faster;

    Not that a Tesla with Ludacris mode.
    I mean we can go on all day. I prefer the Ferraris and it’s been debated as nauseam, the 458 will
    Be Rmbr as one of the best all time, the 488 is even faster but is the first step towards modernity that makes Ferraris less appealing to many... that being said Ferrari could not keep doing N/A’s forever.
    No skin in the game got a 355 and a FF

    I know, I just like to rag on the 458 guys as it is fun.

    I had a 2011 458 for 2.5 years and I was never enamored buy it. (The one with the louder exhaust)

    At the same time I had a 997.2 GT3 RS and a 991.1 GT3 RS and I much preferred these.

    I also had an F12 which I drove the absolute wheels off and enjoyed!!

    My least favorite was the 458.

    Then I purchased a 488 GTB and I truly loved the car, however I wasn’t in love with the looks. It also sounded very special and was loud.

    Now I have a Pista and I wish it sounded more like my 488 GTB.

    I am not ruling out a 458 Speciale in the future either as I really like the sum of all of its parts.

    BTW - I was surprised at the above comparison with the Tesla as I too thought it would have eaten the 360cs.

    Thank you.

    I have been fortunate to have owned some great cars all at the same time which gives me the chance to compare them back to back.

    You have the Pista valves pinned or have a remote ? Im sure the Pista will sound very much like the 488 GTB if you open the valves.

    I have the Forza controller.

    My 488 was way deeper in sound.
