Thank you

Awesome! I'll be awaiting your call. 😁

Thanks Fred! 😁👍

It's sexy

@@normalguysupercar I like the Enzo rear looks of the 458

Thank you! I'm happy about that too

Thanks!

@@normalguysupercar agree lots of good insider F-car information

Thank you very much

They are fantastic cars

You're most welcome!

Thank you

Thank you!

Me too, love laughing at it

Lol he can get all excited but that's not as much

@@normalguysupercar your dog is cool and I like how you branded your channel using him as the mascot instead of the prancing pony. Very clever indeed!

Glad you approve

Thanks

I don't think you need it.

No just paint

And if you track it's a must.

Thank you very much

That's the best solution

Awesome! Hope you find it helpful.

Yikes! That's sketchy as hell

@@normalguysupercar The PO told me it needed a set of tires. I had no idea just how bad. For some strange reason, he was under the impression it needed the Michelin TRX's that were on the earlier Mondials and very expensive to replace. All it needed was a regular set of 16" Bridgestones and it was good to go. Weird. Two of the original tires actually split apart on the tire machine during dismounting.

Ok

Normal Guy Supercar :)

I do agree, before I bought my 09 430, I was looking at a couple of 2010 458’s and cars without the LED wheel and had the stock seats were 10K or more less and that was before bargaining. The cars in red with the Daytona seats and LED wheels seemed to be on the market for less time and owners didn’t want to budge on price. I do think the rear camera is a major thing for many people also, as you state, because you can’t really change the radio head unit out easily like previous generation models to add a 3rd party camera, so adding the rear camera later to a 458 is a major cost. One you have a rear camera in a car with terrible rear visibility, you really can’t live without it, especially if you have kids. Also much of your advise here is good for all modern super cars. The tires thing is very important, old tires are a death trap waiting to happen. They get hard and drive like your on ice. If your tires are 5 years or older, negotiate to get new ones in the deal or change then out before you drive the car. We all remember Paul Walker.

Haha thanks for your story. 😁

Thank you!

Correct.

Ah yes... For the rest of the planet and their logical measuring system

Yeah only occasionally like when pulling in to a parking lot or speed bumps.

Cool. There's a few people in the neighborhood that watch the channel. Lol

It really depends. On the most modern type CCST rotors, all you can do is look and feel. No weighing, no thickness, no mass. The old school Brembo CCM rotors are a bit different. You can both measure them and weigh them.

I have to look that up

Calipers? I take it you mean brake rotors. 36 mm front and 32 mm rear. If you're referring to the brake pads, they are 16 mm front and 16.3 mm rear. The pads have roughly 11 mm pad material on them and can be worn to 3 mm thickness.

458.

@@normalguysupercar thank you!

While I very much agree that the 458 Spider is way too flexy to be really fun, I'm surprised about the 650S comment. Of all the mid engined exotics I have driven, none have felt so numb and disengaged as the 650S. On top of that, the lag of the engine is simply not something you can get used to. The 720S, 675 and so on, are much better in the communication department, but the McLarens still feel somewhat numb - and while a 488, Pista and F8 has virtually zero lag, the McLarens still suffer greatly from it. The great news from Ferrari is that the 488 Spider virtually got rid of the flex.

Rubbing alcohol

Not much

It's not so much the added value, because that is not much as Dan says, but it can sometimes affect how quick the car sells.

Yup

I don't think the year matters much

Me too! Thanks

They may go down a little. Depends how long it lasts

Make-up removal cloths- I used Neutrogena on my F-type

I think so. :)

It's more a function of heat and humidity

Ok

There's more to it. I use Surface Transforms rotors on my 488 and Pista. The technology used by them, and thus BMW is not called CCB, but actually CCST. It is not the same technology used by Porsche - PCCB simply stands for Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes and it tells little about the technology used. While they are newer technology than the Brembo discs, they are still a matrix style disc with chopped fibers - not continuous strand fibers as used in CCST brakes. Porsche brakes are still better than the old CCM Brembo rotors, but they do not last nowhere near as long as the CCST discs used by BMW, Mercedes, Koenigsegg, McLaren GT4, Tesla and just about every winning Porsche Cup and Ferrari Challenge or GT3 team out there. With that said, what kills pads, is heat. Even with the CCST discs which has a glass like surface, a set of OE 488/Pista pads only last three 2 hour sessions. They last a bit longer, but still nothing to write home about. A weekend on Spa of 1½ days kills a set of pads with CCM rotors, and 2 days kills them with CCST discs, that's just how the OE pads are. If you want to increase pad life, you can A: run Pagid RSC2 which are still nice for the street, or you can go full race and run RSL1 pads. The latter will last over a season for a 488 that is tracked twice per month, and that's considering a 7 month season. A very interesting thing about the CCST disc is their ability to run cooler. My 488 run in the 480 degree C range on my local track when measured at the pit entrance lane. With CCST it run about 360 C. Add to that the much greater ability to modulate power, as well as much quieter and smoother brake operation. The discs on a Porsche GT3RS with OE PCCB vs CCST discs still run about 70-80 degrees C hotter, and the Porsche discs are not hard enough to handle a pad compound like Pagids RSL1. Lastly the interesting thing about CCST discs is their ability to be resurfaced. Yes initial price is similar to a set of Brembo discs purchased from Eurospares or Ricambi etc. About 12000 Euro incl. VAT. But what's really interesting is the fact that once they are worn, you can get a full set resurfaced for 1500 Euro and that can be done four times. I like many things about Ferrari, but their brakes is an overpriced joke.

I'll look that up but not much more

36 mm front 32 mm rear.

Thank you

There is, it is called resale red and Ferraris are very common to fall under that since many people want a red Ferrari

If you can drive it sensibly, and properly afford it, sure. Just be aware that most get a bit shocked about running costs. But as daily drivers, they are very docile.

Compared to the 458, the 488 features the following. SSC 2.0 Latest gen Brembo calipers Newer less intrusive ESC and ABS system 80 % greater torsional rigidity for the Spider Latest gen suspension software Stronger transmission gears Newer Satnav and infotainment and last but not least, a 3,9 liter twin turbo V8 making about 110 hp more Some may prefer the sound of the 458, but the 488 is a much better driving car.

Yup

If you want a fixed up 458 sure

seems dangerous

@@djchasingsummerjoan Some people do it successfully :-)

It will still be very expensive to fix. And once yo want to sell it, it will be a fixed up 458 with a much lower value compared to other cars. Don't.

I used to run software companies but now I have a dealership and parts sales for supercars.

@@normalguysupercar That's awesome!

Thanks

@@normalguysupercar I miss driving ferraris especially the 458. What do you think of the F8 Tributo?

Haha Mo is the best

Another shout out from LOP!

@@robotfixr yup!

Yes

No. Depreciation continues. Do a KZfaq search for videos on the depreciation curve.

They do not increase anywhere.

I have debating over the 360 but for a extra 12,000 I found a 430 your friend drives the 360 whats your thoughts if u could buy a 360 for a decent price would u buy it

F430 was my first Ferrari. I would push to get a F430 over the 360.

Thanks for your input.

I believe it's a M/Y 14.

Hey to each their own. If that's what would make you happy then that's great. I honestly could care less what the f-chat people think at this point. Lol

Do you have a rock chip on he engine cover 7:04 ?

That's water. It was raining and my garage door dripped

Normal Guy Supercar I was wtf happened the paint looks perfect everywhere else what happened there lol

Thanks

Eh I love the dual clutch.

Nevermind. Guy went Hollywood on me. Won’t give advice without paying. So this guy is not a “normal guy” anymore. I won’t be subscribing anymore. And I’d say to anyone else. Don’t subscribe to this clown anymore

@@Braydenplaysallday You have got to be joking! You do realize he does this for a living, right? So you're asking to get his service for free. Want free advise, join us on Ferrarichat. You may get the answers you want, you may not. But you need to understand that helping people with these things are an actual business. If you're serious about trading your car and want it done right, I'm sure it had been a good deal to get someone to help you at a minor cost. But apparently you were too cheap to pay for getting things done right. What did he want? 35000 usd? No? Okay...

$5k each

Kid? Lol

this is one of the best sounding car ever

@@normalguysupercar Just another dick-less car kid. "Lol"

Haha thank you

Lol yup

It's the stupid soft touch coating. Lots of luxury cars have that

11 months

That

Not if you are buying it new. Risks exist only if you are buying a used one.

Not really

In the USA it was 2010 bro

Uh?

A play on Hank Williams nickname, Bocephus

Oh

Lol crrrrrunch
