the 458 is quicker, louder and certainly more exotic but the 991 rides better, has 2 extra seats and better ergonomics (all those buttons on the steering wheel of the 458 are a pain) and in terms of musical sound track I would argue the 991 comes close now, much closer than the 997.2
and also dont forget you can park a porsche anywhere, the 458 I would be worried stiff constantly
lastly, reliability is better in the 991 as it should be since they produce 10-20 times more cars per year. I heard of quite a few problems with the 458 from some owners.
so anyway the 458 kicks the 991's ***, yes but just a little bit :-)

At this price tag,comparing a 991 base or even S with a 458 it's not really exact,but I guess they've done it to have fun. I have a feeling it's not going to be so much fun for the 458 when Porsche comes out with the 991 Turbo,GT3 RS or GT2. Let's see then who's going to ' admire ' the nice back of which...

Just read a guy in Japan was arrested after posting a YouTube video in his Ferrari going 77mph. People complained about the excessive speed, after seeing the video. I bet they were Porsche owners.

Not fair, comparing a true sports car to a new Porsche GT car!

the 458 does not need a sound composer, the engine is sitting in the back seats :-)
but to be honest, after 2 hours in the 458 I was almost deaf and I am glad in the 991 I can push a button to silence it sometimes
