Got to sit in a 488GT3 today...

It fit perfectly! Car belongs to friend of a friend. Friend is their coach. He thinks it's the only 488GT3 that's not actually raced, it's a track day car. The have a 458 that they race with.

That's a seriously wild steering wheel.

Steering wheel looks complicated.

Let me get this straight he has a 458 which while raced was sold as a street car which he tracks and he has a 488GT3 a straight up track car which he drives on the street as a street car mostly? I am missing something?

Even though I love Ford GT’s being Italian American there will always be a soft spot for Ferrari’s.

488 is track only. 458 track/race only. The steering wheel is pretty busy, the TC toggles upper left and right get used a LOT according to my friend. As in multiple times per lap. Seat is bolted in, the pedal box and steering wheel move for fitting needs. Brake pedal is FIRM. Camera/screen (upper right corner in photo) for rear view as there is a solid bulkhead behind the seats...which felt awesome. The car is very picky about set up and things change w/ small temp changes. It's got a bunch of aero and traction...my buddy passed 2 cars on the outside of 9>10 at Sears Point today like it was nothing. That's 2 cars in one pass. Very cool car. He says the 458 is much easier to drive, but obviously not as ultimately fast. Less touchy to set up as well.
