I can tell you that the more I drive the 458, the more I like it. It's a beast in a tuxedo

 

I hope so, Any one know when the convertible 458 will come out, soft top or hard top ?

From what I know the new model is going to be a hard top, I badly want a blue one with a red softtop and red interior.

 

Okay update,

Just talked to the salesman:

He says the 458 will be a softtop and I am not to sure about his comments but I do hope its a soft-top. I am going to wait for that, I feel it would be a more enjoyable drive with the topdown listening to the exhaust.

I also heard about the 458 having a similar setup to the 575 SuperAmerica ?

 

Quite possibly the best way to explain a 458, I absolutely loved it when I drove one, and being a passenger was just that much cooler, even then I was amazed all the way around.

 

I do like the hand pointing out the car in the picture. VERY SaudiFerrari!

 

Haha yes,the guy with his hand pointing out was on the phone and was carried out with the phone call lol.

 

Very honest review, which is hard to find these days due to people not having driven an better cars, or magazines/car shows wanting Ferrari to like them and invite them to the next big event!

I totally understand where you are coming from, for that amount of cash, I can think of cars I would rather have (as a driver's car that is)

Not saying that the 458 is not a car I would love to own, it's just that I would much rather have a GT2RS, or a 16M for the more fun factor

is it an F-1 VS twin-clutch gearbox, or am I getting my information mixed up? never had a chance to drive or ride in a 458, but the scud would be hard to beat IMO

You also mentioned the spyker, that thing is phenomenal IMO, great taste

Thanks again for the great review, and I can't wait to see what you settle for

Just go for the CGT Mo ! It's maybe a few bucks more, but it's gonna be so worth it. I think it might be the driving experience you are looking for.

 

I thought about this a couple of hours, I dont like used cars be it any car or a CGT.

I changed my mind of the 458 Spider/convertible.

What I REALLY want to get the Scuderia version of this car, I am not getting the 458 today or tomorrow, it will be in a couple of years and by then the Scuderia version will be just out. At least the Scuderia version will be limited production and a better car to have long term, not when the replacement model comes and it wont be looked at just a regular mode like a 360,F430 etc.

I loved how Ferrari did the 430 Scud/16M that being specifically the front bumper,carbon headlight inserts and the lighter door panels etc I cant wait to see how they can improve this 458.

I am already going to pay a large amount for the Ferrari anyways, would be nice to have the top of the range model from the 458 lineup as my first Ferrari.

 

damn Mo, you john kerry'd the shit out of this thread
