A classic case of a car being better on paper, but then being beaten.The Top Gear Magazine review was very positive about the MP4 (this was the prototype being tested), though. Price/performance wise the cars are pretty identical, if not the McLaren is better. The 458 is 175,364 GBP whilst the McLaren is 168,500 GBP.

I'm a bit surprised the McLaren didn't beat the 458 on the track but not shocked. Perhaps the Macca's strength lies in higher speed tracks.

For me I still think I'd chose the McLaren because I think it is better suited as a daily driver and a better all rounder. According to Chris Harris review the car provides a better ride comfort than all of it's competitors.

Car Magazine did a comparison with traitor Ben Collins at Rockingham between the SLS, GT2 RS, MP4-12C, 458, Gallardo Performante and R8 V10.

*SPOILER ALERT

However, the following picture, screenshotted during the McLaren lap, shows a different laptime than that shown at the end of the lap.

Also note the message at the end of the video.

Cannot vote for one dude, they , have similar performance and virtually the same price. If i had to choose one i would go with Ferrari. McLaren is better but Ferrari is more fun & new trend.
