Breaking in a new Ferrari 488 GTB the right way....

[99saleenspeedster]

My friend picked up a new Ferrari 488 GTB Friday and invited me over to go for a ride / drive it today. The car is quick.... much quicker than his 458 Italia. With only 100 miles on it when I got there, we broke it in right. As of now, it's only 1 of 2 in MI with the other belonging to Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers.

This is in no way a slam on your buddy, but by the looks of it, his car cost more than his house.

Sweet baby Jesus... My POS 5.0 would be a beast if I could shift it like that

As long as the house is comfortable enough that's a compliment in my eyes. I ain't trying to die in the biggest house

It's all in the area... it actually just sold for $849,000. His new one looks like a house you would expect to see that car at.

Cot damb!! That is one expensive area. lol I should have known. We are spoiled in College Station. Decent taxes, mostly stable and reasonable housing market. For a short time houses were up 30% or more because of a jump in demand from the Houston market, but it's coming back down. Bad ass car, anyway. Would love to have the chance to drive one

Funny you mention a Supra... Don't see many any more and on the way home I pulled up next to one that sounded pretty healthy... Of course when we were out driving around, we couldn't find anything to play with..

A whole different stratosphere. Congrats to your buddy on his financial success.

They claim low 10's 100% stock... It only sees full boost in 7th gear. I can't imagine it with a tune

 

[Stevenbekah]

What a badass car. Love it!

 

[DirtyD916]

Those 488s are quick. I've seen them run mid 10's @ 133mph with ease. Should be monsters with a tune.

 

[HEMI LOL]

what does a guy like that do for work in MI? serious question, the evening news makes MI seem like OCP runs everything and ROBOCOP is to busy chasing down nuke dealers to stop all the other crime.

So nice. You friend has quite the collection.
Which one is your favorite?
