WOW - The 458 is a beast!!! Those downshifts are insane!!! After driving the 458 the GTR feels slow and heavy!!! But I was the most impressed by the 670 SV, super smooth, and lots of power... my 458 ghost couldnt touch the 670. Also really like the 2010 S4, drifting that thing was fun 
Gonna try the 599xx, SLR Stirling Moss, Panamera Turbo etc once I get home.

I thought I'd chime in on those who are dissapointed with the GTR's braking abilities. I too was dissapointed in the brakes but got some helpful tips on my350. I adjusted the settings last night and it helped a ton. I also adjusted them on my other cars and the distance on 100-0 and 60-0 have improved greatly. Here you go:
You all can thank me later. But I have figured out the braking issue with the GT-R. I knew this damn car could brake better than I what we had been experiencing. So I experimented with the brake force(balance & pressure). This is with ABS on of course. I stared out with 47 balance & 100% pressure and I finally got to that threshold that produced the very best results. 45% balance & 75% pressure. Those results produced the following results:
S-class *700
3359 weight
60-0 braking = 95ft
100-0 braking = 254ft
Now lets compare that to what the tuning calculator normally sets up as a starting point.
47% balance & 100% pressure produced these numbers on the same setup above.
60-0 = 123ft
100-0 = 310ft
That is a tremendous difference. I'm pleased with the braking now for sure.
Give it a whirl and see what you guys think.
