Thread: A short sprint with the 458 Italia today...

loved it

That exhaust is badass dude, I'm way jealous you get to drive that.
open it up next time!

Awesome vid! I love how they tuned the exhaust on the 458 with the automatic bypass valve.

Yeah I've driven both and well, the 458 is a completely different animal... So the experience in a whole is just better (and sounds more like a beast... doesn't have that tinny scream to it like the 430). I'll try to explain >> So the Scud is just a racing machine and well, really the only things "exciting" about it is the look and the raw power. The extra 52 HP in the Italia is very noticeable... It's like a Scud with a shot of roids and a line of blow. And the 10 ms shorter shifting time is also quite noticeable. The other small details of the car like the +5-8 HP from the front RAM air intakes, or the reduced drag, etc. can only be felt if you're driving at high speeds which I can't comment on... yet . On top of all the power and performance you've got a car that's actually very comfortable to drive. It's got all kinds of buttons and sh1t to play with and confuse the hell out of you and POWER SEATS !! I'll also say that its a hell of a lot easier getting out of than the 430... Next video being uploaded now .

Yep, that's stock . At around 3,500 the exhaust valves switch to the outer pipes and just open up and growl...
