6 more reasons to hate Ben Collins!
Seriously though, nice little comparison video. The 458 makes everything else look so pedestrian. |

Well, I was literally referring to the 'look' of the car. To me the 458 is the best looking (i.e. prettiest) car of the bunch. That being said, what makes you think the 458 isn't stock (not challenging you, I just didn't read the full article).

The looks are Outstanding. Google Chris Harris comments on Ferrari test drives for journalists. Very enlightening.

Thanks for the insight cornutodeuce - even if it is a bit deflating. Last edited by sawzall; 06-22-2011 at 12:48 AM.. |

I agree Ferraris past rigging is dissapointing, but I also do not believe there is much in it between the GT2 and 458? Throw some R compound tires on the Ferrari like the GT2 has and that should wipe out any doctoring Ferrari has done to the vehicle.
I agree with shizzle though. How the hell does the GTR throw up the lap times it does? It is heavy and underpowered compared to these cars, but consistantly betters them in lap time? |

Notice that NO other journalists have supported him, at least none that I can find. Nissan did the same shit with the GT R at the Ring, they even forgot to time a 30 second section to achieve those lap times. Somebody should Scrutinize all these bogus claims or at least make sure that when a magazine tests road cars, they are production vehicles. |

the link wasn't working, so I fixed it. I have to make sure the proper URL is in the Vimeo settings to properly play on various forums.
That being said, I do apologize for passing Steve's buddies, I feel really bad about that, we will discuss why next time we, |

The problem is that I do not think there is a capable 458 driver/owner in Canada who would drive Mosport flat in their car like you are willing to do in your GT2. I just think that if you or anyone else drove your GT2 on cup tires and then drove the 458 on cup tires, I do not think there would be much in it and you would have thuroughly enjoyed driving both vehicles. |
