Carbon fibre is the rage and we're all nicely programmed to think 'gotta have it'. But in many cases, it seems to add nothing visually (IMHO)...
One thing I've learned from evolutionary studies is humans are stupidly programmable. And, thus, I'm not surprised that I, along with many of my...
Emphasis on 'Linear of Response' in a naturally aspirated engine vs. a turbo, as noted by 'Noblesse Oblige' and underscored by 'Kahl360', is right...
Just for the record, here's 'Blue Mediterranean' -- not a OEM F color but a Maserati color that's and expensive option. [ATTACH]
I very much like the folks at Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver. I've bought 3 F cars from them and have always received 1st class treatment. I...
Enjoyed yr. video. Thanks. Several slides/spins; maybe the result of intentional drifts and looked like fun. Didn't like those concrete...
In the write up, says 39,000 miles, so likely a US car. Very strange photo to include; I'd also hazard a guess the interior isn't in great shape,...
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of drivers were pushing it, having a lot of fun! What track? Best wishes for many more spirited track days...
Add to yr. dilemma that it's a pain driving in gridlock, in pissing rain, when you have kids, a dog, need to buy groceries, and you begin to...
!!!Finally nice to read a post that's got it right instead of all the empty heads who have chimed in the 458 is great, who cares about weight....
Ain't it the truth!!! Often requires several years under one's belt to recognize it. !
The 458 is fierce under WOT. Taking it easy for the first 1K isn't a bad strategy as one gets to learn about the car without testosterone...
Is this set up lighter? How does it perform on the track? What do they weigh vs. stock, and what do the tires you put on them weight vs....
Yes, the car you see, my 458, is Blu Mediterranean. IMHO, stunning color in both rain and shine, unlike my prior 360 in TDF blue that looked drab...
This was the 35th year of the SSCC and the 90 miles of public highway closed for the event was named the Silver State Classic Challenge Highway....
PLEASE do report results of your side-be-side runs with a stock 458. Btw, we often read tantalizing announcements like yours but then never see...
Exactly. And when they did measure it, what drive train loss was imputed into the dyno to pump out increased HP and TQ. Was it the same drive...
Appreciate yr. reply and acknowledge difficulties of obtaining reliable acceleration tests. And yes, when I referred to yr. claimed HP/TQ gains, I...
Fabspeed has done a good job providing information and dynos on its header and exhaust mods for the 458. Impressive gains of 60HP and 45 ft/lbs...
Why would I want this on my 458. Are their weight saving advantages? Do the components improve performance of the car in any way?
