Default GT3RS VS 458 Italia..Chris Harris review

I missed this but its interesting, and the vid is nice. I agree overall with his conclusions. If I only had one car it might.umm.....be the...Ferrari. They are stunning in the metal, and I am not a Ferrari fan generally.

The 458 in my opinion is their best styling I've ever seen besides the Enzo.

The Ferrari has some awkward angles and design cues but overall the car is stunning in the flesh. Sounds are also pretty good too when it winds up.

Very organic. He used the word "insectide" I believe, most accurate. The multiple small air inlets are very interesting.

I'll take black over yellow 1000 times....

Funny, I though the Enzo was somewhat unappealing, visually. Like the F40 and F50, it's designed around function more than style, which is fine. It just doesn't make for the best looking car. IMO, the best looking F-car ever built was the Testarossa.

I loved the Testarossa when I first saw it in Miami Vice. Long, low, wide and 90s obnoxious. Would still like a spin in one.

I like the tech of the 458, but (regardless of price) it's not for me. Now, a 1978 308 GTB is another conversation all together. That is a beautiful Ferrari. Carb'd V8. Phwoar.

The best ride I've ever had around Mosport was in a 1990 Testarossa. It wasn't the fastest, or the most exhilarating, but it was the most fun. The sound.... after 4 or 5 laps I just put my head back and closed my eyes and enjoyed the music.
