    Hi, Have been racing my 458 at Sepang malaysia and really this car have very bad brakes! Rear pads change shape only after few laps and front brake caliper even have small leakage. Yes I brake in the carbon brakes using recommended stoppin from Ferrari when recieve car. Race mode did alot of wear, but even with all CST off still bad bad braking?? Here race driver told me this car have no proper brake cool system in place....

    So Ferrari sell me car they show on videos driving hard but here I go and have poor performance? OK....

    Anything to fix the brake problem with heat?? Parts from challenge series maybe. Looking for comment on other who drive 458 on track! Maybe possible swipe from CF to Steel? This is expensive, not like to spended 10k in repair everytime just to track car.

    Sell the 458 and get your self 458 Challenge or 458 GT3, your present 458 is mainly for street purpose so if you want to track the car then get the proper track 458.

    Ok good advice, I go use 562HP on the street next to police and regular cars? Why Ferrari show 458 use on track ok? Please this is silly. I am not professional race driver, just want to enjoy my 458 like Ferrari brag about. 562hp use on street? Pls show me what country you can do this because I know in USA you will be in jail.......

    I buy 458 to use like intend, not just for nice restaurant or club. I not need 9000rpm to go to restaurant.
