They did the same comparison on an episode of Top Gear I was watching today (thank you BBC America!). The LP560 absolutely walked the GT2 over the 1-mile drag. However when it came to the Stig's power laps, the Lambo did a great time, but Clarkson burned the GT2's time because he hates Porsches so much...

Not to spoil it for you incase you havent seen it but in the next episode, if I remember correctly, they reveal that the GT2 did almost the exact same time as the lp560-4. So in a straight line the v-10 helps the Lambo get ahead but on the track they are too close.

I am not so sure to bet, but I am not so sure about 458 Italia will murder LP560-4, it can be faster, but not that faster. And there is SL version of LP just around the corner, so who knows.

Has anybody been in a 560-4, if you press corsa and enjoy the sound of it blipping you wouldnt want to be in a GT2. I rode in member mak 560-4 the other day, that thing is so comfortable, honestly it felt much better than his previous cars, 997 Turbo and a V8 vantage.
