    I used to think the same about the SF90, but changed my mind after I saw what a few mods from RDBLA will do.

    If a car has to be modded to be acceptable, it's failed in my opinion. However, after watching the video, this is even more fugly than factory in my opinion. For the same money, I'd rather have a Speciale or Speciale Aperta.

    Well, the reason I ordered the SF 90 spider is because I thought it was beautiful. I went and saw it in person and everything and it was better than in pictures to me. People that have them seem to like them, people they don’t have them seem to not like them. Kind of the usual…

    It makes sense though, what you say. People that don't have them don't like them. I can agree with that 100%.

    Oh man Eric, take it easy on the 458 guys. they are already coping with slower older cars and justifying it with some sound aspect. cant handle you also pointing out that they look like they came out of a river in Louisiana

    There are those that get it and those that don't. :rolleyes:. If you have to rice out your car to make it " acceptable".....well, you aren't really an enthusiast of the brand.

    Understood, but even you didn't like the looks of it until it was riced out.

  17. I have a catfish from Louisiana holding on Line 1 for you.

    It would like a word or two with you. And it begins with an "F" and ends in a "U".

    :D

    That’s what I’m thinking too. From a pure performance perspective, the SF90 will outperform a Pista around a track, in a straight line, everywhere. So having the Pista with a SF90 isn’t really necessary. But the sound and feel of a Speciale is something that neither the Pista or SF90 can compete with, so for that reason I’d prefer to have the Speciale/SF90 combo. Of course having a 812 as well is icing on the cake!

    Yeah, they’re gorgeous. Everyone that sees mine seems to love it. My F8 and 296 were also beautiful cars in their own way, but neither had the presence of the SF90. The car is a knockout.
