- You can't drag race your Aero Beetles because axles will be flying out on the drag strip.

- None of the Aero Beetles is running stock brakes, because they suck. Fiat brakes suck too, but fix is quite simple.
** You only change pads on Fiat, C'mon fess up, you are adding cooling, calipers and aftermarket rotors also! Get get 16 days front and 24 days rear at Sebring on OEM everything but pads.
- Fiat don't have a bladder condition, Aero Beetles **** every single fluid.
** Bone dry. Seems fixed in 3.8+ And I don't need diapers in engine bay to keep it from going up in flames.
- I have yet to replace the first front spoiler lip in the Fiat, you buy them by bulk.
** I'm in my first CUP, the OEM is new on shelf.
- I'm still using my factory clutch, lsd, and the Aero Beetles are in the 2nd or 3rd replacement of the same parts.
** True, 3.8 need PP and clutch fix.
- I have not replaced toe links, or control arms, because the Fiat comes with quality pieces.
** That is not a quality issue that is comfort VS performance.
- While you keep stripping your Aero Beetles, I keep my amenities, such as valve controlled muffler, A/C, ipod link, Navi, Bluetooth link, cd player.
** Got all that, except navi. I know where Sebring is.
- Fiat uses real carbon fiber pieces, not a layer of CF over crappy sun blocker melting plastic.
** My CF looks better then your CF.
- No matter what muffler tweak you put on Aero Beetles, Fiat makes music, VW pollutes
** Beetle makes great music, Fiat makes better music.

A photo does not do the 458 justice. It is staggeringly beautiful in person.

I would look so much more handsomer in one of those..
Was it hard to chase all the woman away for the innocent gas pump picture?

Rich, your next purchase shouldn't be a car, but a good camera! Those photos don't do the ferrari or the duc any justice!
