You've come along way since we discussed the merits of Mondeo Ghia's

A V8 Ferrari has been my dream since before I had a license and yesterday I realised it, 3 days before my 30th birthday.

Well done!

Lovely, lovely car! Enjoy.

You have an incredible memory. That was 2003.

 

[geekman]

That's fantastic. I just looked them up on autotrader, obviously I knew they weren't cheap, but wow

Worth every penny though, I'm sure!

 

[dacads]

Oh, and the stereo is ****.

Not that it matters when you have a V8/Ferrari?

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

The ones that cover the full steering wheel? I wouldn't be without mine tbh.

5 mins plus to defeat, so pretty effective. Enough for a potential crim to look inside and think better of it.

Fair enough.

 

[Alibaba99]

Its basically the same lump yeah. It's actually the less desirable engine as it uses a lot more fuel than the 2.0T but only produces a bit more power. Sounds nice though and that ones a great colour combo.

They also do the 2.8 with a 4WD system and 280Bhp called the Turbo X - very rare car

The 2.8 does tune very nicely though. A JZW remap will take it past 300 with ease.

The Speciale is very nice but you've really got to want the extra 'bits' over the standard 458, with the massive overs they are selling for.

 

[Maccy]

Congrats Adz, awesome purchase!

 

[Jez]

Wow, i just looked at how much those (458 Speciale) are. Thats a lot to drop on a car! I wonder how it will work out compared with other investments? The supercar market seems extremely strong.

 

[daz]

More expensive to buy but to own over x years the Speciale is likely to hold its value or even appreciate.

Man maths says it's probably better than earning 1% in the bank.

Irrelevant if you can afford it, they are only going to appreciate

Less risk of your investment 'crashing' if you bank it though

The Ferarri is stunning... Though I think I prefer how a normal 458 looks.

 

[Cleisthenes]

re Speciale

An absolutely mega car, congratulations

 

[Akagi]

Would rather *own* your Alfa though.

If someone gave me the Ferarri I'd sell it and buy a GTV and a house.

If someone gave me the Ferarri I'd sell it and buy a cat D GTV from a guy at the forums and a house.

fixed that for you.

but tbh if you could afford a 300k supercar buying a house would be not on your list surely majority would buy a house first then worry about ferraris!

and if you had 300k to spend I doubt you'd be in a GTV.

What?

I doubt the guy still lives with his mum...

 

[Cleisthenes]

If I had 300k to spend on a car it almost certainly wouldn't be a gtv

I'll give you that

 

[Dr House]

wow, thats a very special car!

Would love to see some pics.

The 458 Speciale is a amazing bit of kit Adz, awesome purchase! Luckly Luckly Man.
