Very, very nice. Congrats. However, over a Carrera GT? I'd be interested in your thinking (not doubting it but interested nontheless). I love the 458 BTW.

My favorite car of all time. I'd like to test drive one, but I don't have friends in high places and the Fiat dealerships laugh at me.

Congrats.

You're wrong btw.......your 458 is FASTER than the turbo S.

Maybe the 458 isn't as strong in a straight line, but I believe it's faster everywhere else.

Yeah, I made a lot of F430 owners to be raise hell at the dealer when I got mine in '06, many "VIPs" got theirs after me, why? Because I had ordered it six speed manual and that list was really damn short.

O.P. Italia in my favorite color, sweet!

Ferrari 458 Italia is not up to the Turbo S?

Please take a moment to race a 4.0 and make a video about it. that would be interesting.
