I was on the list for the F8 and got bumped or pushed to the 2696GTB as the F8 is discountinued, the SF90 is extremly hard to get without being tier 1 or VIP with Ferrari (not the dealer but Ferrari directly) as you may or may not know Ferrari is a PITA to even become a customer..

Example, if you call right now to get a 296GTB you are put on a wait list to see if an allocation falls off if then they can grand you one they will tell you to buy a Roma or a used ferrari first.. to even get you going..

lastly the SF90 is hybrid car just like the 296GTB but yeah its on bucket list may be after the 296GTS that I have on order.

Congratulations!
Having a Ferrari for me has to be the final grail of car ownership!! Congratulations! beautiful car....one question. Do they still tell you to buy a used one first, before you showing up to a dealer and order/purchase a new one???

JESM.

Thank you for the kind words, yes in most cases they will I was fortunate to come under my friend which is a tier 1 Ferrarista and they allow me through him to by pass that level but Ferrari is a PITA to order cars..

Haha, agreed. But OP likes what the OP likes. Maybe swap the 600LT for a 765LT?

OP you ever track the 600LT?

Amgeater2, thank you so much for sharing this car's particulars and pictures with us! You must feel like Sonny Crockett in his best days!

Honestly, I always feel much sympathy for people like you who make one of their dreams (mine too, here, LOL) come true to be a bit more happy in this weird world. This way you are able to give some of your wellbeing mood back to others. I'm smiling with you, Sir!

Everytime a smooth, powerful and safe ride!
