I would do the 458 but keep in mind it's got 7 speeds so it might make the shift points kinda awkward.

On a track, Scud. It's the only thing the car is good at.

458 would be a blast around a track too.

You will probably be able to push an SL harder around the track since you're unfamiliar with the cars.

All of you are idiots.

Ascari A10 is the only answer. Period.



Look up the specs. I am too lazy.

Simply option 1 is the 458. Option 2 is the 430 Scuderia. They destroy tracks.

Lambo's aren't much fun or too good on the track in my experience.

I also believe the scuderia would be better on the track rather a 458 but I wouldnt know, havent driven either one
(I've driven both)

458 vs 430 Scuderia.... Pretty sure the Scuderia is the one "built to dominate the track"

Default Re: Best Exotic to Track?

OP, since you've never been on a track before, choose the car that you want to drive the most, not the one that will be "best on track". You'll (completely understandably) be so far below the limits of any of those cars that none of them won't be up to the task. I.e. if you really want to drive the Lambo, pick that. Or, if you'd rather the 458, but think the Scud is "more track oriented", don't even worry about the extra "track-worthiness" of the Scud for your decision. At the end of the day...

I'll go with GreggB because he's owned and driven all of these (I'd prob favor option #2 though)

This is about right:
