Bravo amgeater.

Have you or amgeater, or anyone else, driven the 296?

I see Dino in the profile and the hot v6 seems like an engineering marvel that still has a good sound.

I just find it stunning to look at.

Thanks.

Curious to know much better the sf90 is than your old 296. Most reviews had mixed things to say about the sf90 but gushed about the 296.

The front end of that Ferrari just looks stupid.

The UI with the 296, not sure about sf90, is supposedly pretty bad. Like really bad.

Not much to be honest, the 296gtb is a very fast car and it has a better exhaust note than the sf90.

The SF90 is just very very perfect and to certain degree is boring.. but the looks and the 4wd is just amazing interior of course just nicer its the Daddy

It was alright. I just wish it didn't have all the stupid haptic touch screen stuff. That's my biggest gripe followed by the driving dynamics.

SF90 needs an exhaust and even then it doesn't sound great;

the 296gtb sounds amazing dont know where your getting your info from. do you own one

also you are quoting videos from youtube to proof that SF90 doesnt sound with an exhaust... I tell you what it does sound better than a 720s thats for sure.

To me the 296GTB sounds like a gussied up VQ. If that's your taste then that's fine but I think it sounds like a typical V6 trumpet.

As for SF90s, I've driven 3, 2 stock and 1 with an exhaust. The video I posted has the same exhaust as the car I drove and it just sounded "ok". I didn't record a video because I didn't think I was going to have to post a video to some random stranger on a car forum to couch my opinion on.

I'll also go ahead and say the 720s without an exhaust is pretty mediocre, even with the "sport" exhaust option. Add a nice Gintani or Unobtanium exhaust and it sounds like sex.


We can like different things, but the real question is what else are you going to do to the car?
