Ive put about 140 miles on the 458... As of now I am simply amazed by it.. It is balls out soo much fun its rediculous.. There is not one thing i can say at this point that I miss from the TTG, except for the rush of the turbos.. BUT, the reality is that due to the roads in my area I was never really able to use the power. It was too fast. The car was too low, bottomed out, no lift and the shifting was a pain in the ass.. With this car, traffic opens up and bam your having a blast in Race mode with the shifters, traffic comes up, and with the press of a button im in Automode.. Even auto mode with RACE selected is bad ass... Makes awesome noise and very aggresive.. After a day of flying around, your head is ringing, your tired and just wanna relax ? Put it in sprt mode and the car is quiet as a mouse.. FANTASTIC.. Maybe cause its a new model, everywhere we go people ask questions, thumbs up, ask to rev it up etc etc. The stock exhaust sound is great.. We did race it and the Porsche a few times, nothing special just a slow roll in 1st to top of 3rd ( no room to go faster) and they seemed to be dead even. That being said it was not really an orchestrated race , no honking we just sort of went when the other took off..

So as of now.. I love it!

Car looks great, you gotta figure out how to cancel your turn signals though
