GT3 RS drivers who also have Ferrari F458?
#11
RS is more a direct extension of the driver. You feel more at one with the car. The 458 is a bigger car and is much more comfortable but actually quicker under any circumstances, yet the RS would feel almost as quick but more interactive and "fun". 458 is a little hotter looking in my neck of the woods, since even an RS still looks like any 997 with fancy colors and a wing. The 458 is a show-stopper wherever it goes.
Is this any help?

First of all they didn't test the cars on the tracks I mentioned. Second, have you read this thread? https://teamspeed.com/forums/458-430...ari-spins.html
Third, 458 quicker than a GT2 RS on a track? Not gonna happen.

458 is on a different level compared to any Porsche. Blasphemy I know; but the 458 is just one of those cars on the 'must' have list- and not b/c its a F car. Its because you can't spend better money on a car in that league. It's simply rediculously awesome. You could freak'n Daily Drive it! It's that smooth!

Have you driven the 458??
Personally I think that the 458 is a far superior vehicle than the RS.
It is technically more advanced, it feels faster and sounds better.
Although I rate Chris Harris Highly, I personally believe that there is only one car in this equation and it is the 458.....
And I am a massive Porsche Guy......

Thank you. I have both and don't need to be biased. I fully expect my 4.0 to be more "fun" to drive than my 458, but the 458 will be faster on almost any road or track because of the "suspension de-coupling" feature, the weight distribution, the transmission, and the power to weight ratio, especially in the hands of an average enthusiast and not a pro driver.

Terrence: Thanks for your thoughts! And quite a nice stable you have... I obiously had a prejudiced view on Ferraris, being a Porsche nut, and I was surprised how nice the car was to drive. Did your enthusiasm for the 458 wear off, when you got used to the "cool" unporsche-like features like paddle shifts, show stopping looks, space ship interior design etc?

They both have their virtues. If I can only have one, I would choose the 458 only because it is a better daily driver and is quicker also. If it is a weekend toy, then i would pick the 4.0 because it will be more fun to drive.
