If you read the review of the 458, that's what they seemed to like most about it compared to the GTR. In fact, in comparing it to the GTR they stated "point being, a tenth here and a tick there, sure, but the two cars perform in virtually the same manner."
It is not like 458 is costing 287k to Ferrari, right. They're selling at that price, because they can. Also, GTR has the AWD and turbo setup to be this fast. Achieving this with RWD and NA setup is much harder.
