That and the wait kept me away... I wish I had done it though.

Love it. Congrats Vic

gblansten · 09-22-2014, 12:45 PM

Congrats. The 458 is one of my favorite cars. I would be hard pressed to name another car that looks better. Enjoy the hell out of that.

IMO the F12 Berlinetta and California T are more attractive but I understand this car is generally seen to be the racier looking car. It definitely looks best in red.

RPiM5 · 09-22-2014, 12:56 PM

Congrats Vic. I would put the Frequency Intelligent F1 Exhaust on it if it was my car but that's just me.

Tom C · 09-22-2014, 01:13 PM

It is about time!

Congrats! It may not be the quickest (although plenty quick), but it just has a visceral impact on anyone that sees it...and/or hears it. You may want to keep this one since it will be one of the last of its breed with the N/A engine. Excellent choice!

RajG · 09-22-2014, 01:22 PM

Looks awesome, congrats!!!

Trakrzy · 09-22-2014, 02:34 PM

Be still my beating heart!!

Looks sharp with the Novitec wheels!! I am waiting for Scud's to drop more but I think they have probably hit a plateau by now. I refuse to drive one for fear of instant commitment.

Congrats once again!

I like the F12 but the California doesnt do a thing for me.

I just looked up the Novitec retail pricing for the forged wheels w/tires, 15k WTF. The scud was another choice but I couldnt find one locally that interested me enough.

holy smokes Vic!

Collected it last Fri. It was Formula 1 weekend, so I barely had much time to drive the car and did mostly city commuting to the hotel. I have yet to take it beyond 6000 rpm. Will start another thread once I have more seat time in it. Don't wanna jack Vic's thread here.

For 458 Italia exhaust, i vote Novitec:
