F8 Order Status

What’s a Pista?

 

I'm not an engineer or mechanic, just a lost Caveman Lawyer, so I need drawings.

 

I felt some lag compared to 458 but couldn't discern if that is from the electronic pedal or the turbos. But I agree about the speed - the first real mash of the pedal and my eyes went [slightly] blurry for a second.

 

Almost ready to come home. Hoping to pick up on Tuesday

Gorgeous John. Congratulations! Excited for you.

 

Ordered the following wheel, tire, and suspension setup and its going on my car in a couple of weeks.

Looks awesome! Blu Corsa?

 

Those will look great. I had my lowered on factory springs. Looks so much better

 

Yes!

 

How long has the process taken since order acceptance?

 

I went Red 10 around November 14. I think cars with standard colors went thru production faster.

 

I’m at 93...on the way to dealership as of yesterday...hopefully next week!!!

 

Awesome. So great to see pictures and start to hearr driving experiences. I will get video next weekend and post

 

Turbo lag is so inconsequential as to be meaningless.

 

How much was your car lowered? Did the dealership do that for you?

 

Got a call from my dealer - looks like Monday morning arrival for me.

Hopefully I’ll get that call next week....

 

I will let you know next week......we walked their service dept and looked at all the cars they had (which was quite a few). For me, it was about the visible gap when viewed from 10 feet away. So they understood the look I wanted and then went to work (I did not ask for a specific measurement but I will ask them when I pick it up). IMO - it looks perfect (little worried about scrapping - my 458 has a lift and never used it once so hoping I am ok). The dealership did it for me............

 

That looks perfect, exactly what I'm planning to do. So I take it you did not spec your F8 with lift?

 

I did not. I know you are limited on how much you can lower it on factory springs (if you did choose the lift option). I will post more info this week when I get the car.

 

That is why I also skipped the lift. Looking forward to your feedback, and congrats on the car.

 

If you can get the lifter added try to do..you still have time sine they have not started production yet. I was frustrated for waiting for over one year for an allocation So cancelled my order two weeks ago. The good news is I just found a highly speced 2020 Pista below msrp...buying it tomorrow. I looked at a lot of Pistas...anyone will tell you a car without a suspension lifter or radio takes a big hit at sell time. There are Pistas sitting for over six months..the sales folks will tell you they are hard to sell at prevailing prices. Add the lifter for resale value.

 

Arrived this morning to dealership.....
