If you have not already, you should post at Fchat....there is a thread under American Muscle Cars about the NFGT that stimulates considerable disccusion.

The 488 is not as fast as you would assume. There are other YouTube videos showing the F-car losing race after race.

PS But - yay for the FGT!

Not sure how they were this far apart, —maybe driver, maybe GTB would have been a better choice. I will say that I’ve owned a lot of cars, and pound for pound the 488 is the best driving car I have ever owned. Having said that , if I could only have one it would clearly be the NFGT.

The 488 is a very serious, well made, fast car. And no, I refuse to go back to Ferrari chat for fear of getting caught up in the stupidity. I’m in Virginia and I get that daily.

Very impressive video Brooks. I checked it out as soon as it went live. The GT not only pull on the 488 out of the holeshot but kept on pulling away the faster they went. The aero on the GT clearly makes it one heck of a car for high speed runs!!

Have you back to backed in normal mode? Does vmax really improve acceleration that much?

I should have run it both ways to see... :( I was always racing somebody and didn't want to give up anything....

Cool video. All these cars are stupid fast.

Indeed. Wonder how the Pista would compare. You have a Pista lined up in your circle yet, Brooks?
