If I scored them, I would give the following noise scores:
458 speciale: 96
LT 675: 93.5
RS: 90
It's a few percentage points to me, not drastic but the RS only sounds good at 5500-8750rpm.

What did you think of the 570 vs 458? I've searching for either but I went and drove a 458 the other day and then immediately re-drove the 570 and I thought for a weekend car the 458 was amazing.
I think the 570s looks much better and drove well but the sounds and feel of the 458 were another world..so I'm leaning that way now..

Thanks! I don't plan to track it I just plan to enjoy it on the weekends and a road trip or two.
I'm more of a track guy than a road cruiser so take what I say with that bias! I found the 570 to be a really great road car. Doors are super cool and much more attractive than the 458. I don't like turbo lag and the 570 certainly has it, on the road not a factor and actually very helpful for passing esp in the mountains. The 458 is a great road car as well but it felt more like a race car than the 570 on the road and on the track. The steering feel in both cars is very good but not as good as the RS. On the track the 458 was much more stable much more responsive and the NA engine just sings, in race mode the throttle felt very race car like and I enjoyed the much better than the 570 but I still think the Mclaren is the looker. The 570 could get very gnarly under hard braking but still controllable, just not for the track as much as for the road. I was very disappointed in the reliability and the electronic glitches in the Mclaren. 3 different cars each with different problems. If you don't drive the car much or track it very much this might not be a factor but for me having experience with other british cars (Bentley, Land Rover) I just can't take a chance with all the problems I saw. Again this was my experience and others have a diff opinion.

Heh-heh :-). I'm getting 2-3 new cars in the next ~9 months, so that should hold me over for some time. And then it's going to be ***LT hunting time, be it 675, 570 or 720 variant of an LT, depending on the market and news at the time.
