Had a passenger ride in this earlier today :



Holy sheet, I thought Id been in some fast cars, but this totally redefines my definition of fast.

Just breathtakingly fast.

Cannot begin to imagine what its like to get to grips with one on the track.

The overall quality of the car seems to be a step up from what Ive seen fron Fezza as well, really good fit and finish.

I appreciate there is probably folk on here with some supers, but this is without doubt the fastest road car Ive ever been in.

Oh, and whilst I was there, a Carrera GT and GT3RS turned up at the same time .

That`s the first time I`ve seen the 458 photographed from that angle. Looks excellent doesn`t it? I`m not even a massive fan of Ferraris either!

0-60 in 3.4ish sounds pretty fast to me.

The 458 has to be my favourite Ferrari to date, awesome! Here's a favourite pic i took of a 458 at Wilton House a few weeks back.



I've never had the opportunity to ride in any Fez, but do own a 1000cc sportsbikes and have a good idea about fast acceleration.

I wasn't sure whether or not to call it red or orange, doesn't due it justice.

A very colour dependant car.

I used to drag race a 1216 gsxr with nitrous, and this thing felt way quicker, believe me.
