They discussed the finer merits and detractors of the absurdly fun, snarling Italian supercar via Slack , an instant message program with a fun ability to summon random gifs based on what users type. The following is a partial transcript of that conversation. Sean Evans: Hey guys. The Ferrari GTB. We all drove it. Josh drove the coupe. Josh Condon: That car told me it loves me the most; you two were just flings.
And, yes, I drove the hardtop. Remarkably little difference between the two, actually. Exact same suspension tune, same time. SE: They went with a hardtop because a soft top was going to be 55 pounds heavier and this only adds pounds.
Some other quick specs: in the rear, a 3. JC: There IS a turbo in there, right? I mean, it was pretty hard to tell. But seriously, I was stuck in traffic for the sum total of maybe four or five hours with the car over the course of a weekend. Plenty of time to fiddle with the infotainment. JC: Nothing has a wider delta between how comfortable it looks and how comfortable it is. I was in it for hours, and got out of it fresh. WSC: I would have enjoyed a wee bit more legroom.
But I say that about pretty much every car. Disgustingly so. WSC: This is me being unable to hear your insults from up here. All I hear are angels singing. And Ferrari engines revving. JC: Oh, that engine. I still hear it in my sleep. But Ferraris really just have magic in them. SE: This one did. WSC: Every trip carves itself into your memory. I think part of that is the little ways Ferrari makes its cars different than most. Putting the controls on the steering wheel, for example.
SE: I love that wheel. The shift indication lights up top, the driving mode selector, the feel of the grip.
