Those 458 shifts are ridiculous.

Closer than I thought it would be

458 FTMFW..

Though before this, I though 458 was gona TOALLY ANNIHILATE ALL straightline..

But from other vids from inside the 458, the sense of speed is just ridiculous with the high revs and blink-of-the-eye shifts.. its like being inside a race car the way it goes through the gears!

I thought the 458 would win by a bit more....

With that said.... I'll still take the Balboni

Not sure which I would take honestly. The 458 is just a disaster in design to me. I'd have to drive both.

I'd probably rather have a Scud over both.

You're nuts! The 458 looks amazing (ferrari designs always better with age) the 458 has moved the game on by quite a margin IMO..

No questioning that. The 458 is on a pedestal by itself, but I just cant get pass the special character of the the Balboni. With the 458 we all know the next version will be even faster and probably better looking...that and we know a "scud" version is coming. I'll take the specialty car over the money maker.

Styling is subjective....

Having said that, the 458 looks like crap imho...

Exactly. There's no doubting it's performance but I'd probably still take the Balboni or Scud.

Or a GT3 RS and M3 combo.
