Thanks for posting, it went just as I would have predicted. The 488's power to weight ratio is king even if the E63S got the launch. But Im honored to have this 4 door beast.

I can say with near-certainty that the 488 would've enjoyed my license plate right up to the finishing line--remarkable what a simple ECU flash can do. Of course, who knows what the 488 will do when tuned but I suspect Ferrari leaves less after-market-tuning potential on the table than manufacturers that are building family super-sedans.

Strange, they only ran a 11.42 with the Amg. Other sources have it at 11.10, maybe the DA was high or something but that seems kind of slow. The E63 really gets the jump at the line, thats for sure.
