Am I the only one to prefer the looks of the normal 458 compared to the Speciale. Probably mostly the front end.. Back with 2 normal exhausts is actually probably nicer and cleaner.
Just the front around the cavallino is just too fussy.
No, you are not the only one. I refer you to ferrarichat.com for an entire discussion.
I'm still waiting to hear TomToms comparison of the 458 vs the GT3 once he has both.
I've got both already. However, due to the well-known delays with the GT3, both cars arrived within 2 weeks of each other. Which was never my plan, since I was not aiming on keeping both. And the 1M for old school fun. So I've barely driven my GT3 and am selling that one at the moment. And will keep the Speciale. Since, even though the GT3 beats in value-for-money, it's just a bit more extreme. More pure. More bare. And I'm lucky enough not to care about the price difference (this time).
In other words, you'll get a full-on comparison as soon as Arth has run in his GT3 and we've taken another trip together, where we can swap cars and compare them objectively. Hang in there...
