That 458 engine is unreal.I dont think anyone will ever out beat it.

570hp@9,000 rpm out of a 4.4 V8 NA 400ftlb @6000

just to put it into better perspective

The 5.0L v10 in the M5 only makes like 380ftlbs @ 6000 with 2 more pistons

The 458 is sex indeed.
I was at the local Ferrari dealer when they just got one in checking it out and a guy who looked like he should drive a Prius at best purchased it for cash on the spot
I saw a ton in Miami, funny to see a 458 and a fatass in a 599 go at it from light to light lol (1/10th of a mile)

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
GT-R continues to impress. But to cruise around town I would take a 458.

458 is absolutely awesome, my MD has one, I been out in it a couple times and Friday we had a track day and boy does it shine there too, sadly I only had 3 laps and got booted as they had a 105db noise restriction and the 458 is much louder then that.

It was an AMG track day with some exotics and a few others to fill the spaces required.. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/event...t-date-20.html
