With his new style of driving I dont feel like I get an authentic preception of how the car can perform.

Or am I wrong... is this just how these cars behave nowadays?
not evey car drifts in as balanced a way as the 458 does. it would be very hard to achieve the same in the gt3 for example. he fact it drifts like it does, going the speed it does shows car with fantastic, well above average technology. It speaks for itself really, but adds to the drama and the ratings more importantly.

still surprises me to see ppl not liking the aesthetics of the 458, it's a stunning car. 430's are so feminine by comparison.

the episode was great. and clarkson was right, the 458 is brilliant.

what surprised me was how much of a difference there is in terms of performance between the 458 and the 430, especially in that drag race.
