That is pretty cool, especially taking it to the track so soon. There cant be many in Canada yet I am guessing?

I'm guessing today was exotic car day at race city? Was there an orange lambo there too? :D got some great shots of one downtown today, uploading now

BTW, absolutely LOVE the tri-exhaust on the 458

Much better in person, like it doesn't look great in pics? What do YOU drive fuckbag?


j/k :D Great pics, I'd rock one. You know, if I wasn't poor.

How much quicker than a 430?

Didn't like it from the magazine pictures, much better in person. Owner was pretty cool, won a silent auction for charity to get the first one.

He only ran a few laps at lunch, id imagine it's much faster then even a 430 scud.

458 = 3042lbs, 560hp, 0-60 time 3.35sec
458 trans shift time = 0 millisec

430 scuderia = 2780lbs, 508hp, 0-60 time 3.6sec
430 scuderia trans shift time = 60 millisec

458 = sex :devil:


montezemolo says that a 458 scuderia version would be pointless, but IMO they will build one later on to milk the $$

here are spy pics of a 458 challenge track only version

Good to see someone using a car like this for a track day vs going to starbucks and back

Fantastic peformance car but I still am not in love with the exterior appearance - especially the headlight design. Cars like the R8 or Gallardo are much better looking in my opinion.

WOW, very nice.

So... 430's are much cheaper now? :drool:

The guys at 5th gear should be dragged into the street and shot for taking that car on a gravel road.

Dammit mang, let me know when these track days are happening!

You should drop by the house sometime, I heard you have a new fancy unit..

Beautiful car.

I still don't really like that little brake vent design in the front of the hood, but the technical specs of the car are pretty awesome.

How do they do that no-power-loss upshift? Is it just preloading the other clutch in the box somehow and then bringing one off as the other one comes on?

edit: Oh, it's a wet clutch. Clever!

Confirmed for 2013. Therefore watch for the intro in fall 2012. :)

Lap times for the scud should be slightly faster. The typical 458 is 300+ lbs heavier than a scud but that is offset with approx. 65 hp. The extra weight is a big factor.

so, do 483hp and you&me have one on order yet?

Should be interesting to see, with the dual clutch and the extensive techno bits/aero I would wager it will be faster. Not like Ferrari to build something lesser then a previous car it replaces, scud or not.

I'd certainly like to give it a go though ;)

Maybe your exhaust sounds funny, from the extra load on it, by having to haul that fat guy around in it!

You available Sat. or Sun ? come on by.

I drove by this on 114th this past weekend!!! SOOOO SEXY!!!

Seeing that car in person made me so horny, I drove directly home and fucked my GF. (I never told her that i was thinking of this car)

Tommy want!:drool:

Is there any point of the paddles? I'm guessing it's faster in full auto mode anyway?

Going up...going down, you need it in manual to woo the ladies on 17th with a bit of throttle blippin'

Erik are you around this weekend? Come on out to the track, I'm sure I could put you to work.

I don't think one 458 will sink the 430 market.
