    I did the same and as much as I loved the F430, the 458 is just amazing. Great move!

    Did you order a 458 or just buy a used one in stock? Is that the car?

    Both are beautiful.

    Hard to tell what gray they are (they look the same). Silverstone?

    It's a gorgeous 458. You'll be very happy. Drive her in good health. The handling, power and styling is fantastic. Be sure to post your impressions after driving her.

    Thanks!......How do you like Nero Daytona on your car?

    I was really on the fence about going Daytona

    I love it...in the sunlight it looks really special. Many think it's a chocolate brown metallic. The coupe looks especially sleek and sinister in Nero Daytona. I'm sure that you'll love it.

    Can still remember when I did the same 8 months ago.
    Was well worth the 8 month wait for the 458.
    Congratulations and enjoy. Al

    Great move friend, 458 is just a miracle. I wish you the best.
    Don't forget to post some pictures when you finish driving it!
    What exactly is the difference between Nero Daytona and simple Nero? is it just that the one is metallic black and the other not?
    Is there any difference in real life between the two colours?

    Thanks All!

    I will post pics for sure!

    The "daytona" is metalic but in the right light its amost gray....It really has to be in the sun to do its thing.

    Yes Nero is non metallic black and a very deep black. Nero Daytona is the black metallic and looks lighter in the sunlight.

    Well it took a while but it arrived on Saturday....Same truck...Same driver

    I have been thinking about how to best comment on what the differences are between the two but can't seem to put it in words. Every aspect is so much more.....All of it...Its just better....by 10 country miles.

    Obvioulsy it is stupid fast and stops on a dime but what got me was how nice it was to drive on the freeway....At 65 just cruising its very tame....not a lot of road noise and tracks very well.

    Still wrapping my head around it

    Gorgeous. My 430 is Nero Daytona and my 458 will be the same. That paint makes every curve pop like no tomorrow

    Enjoy!
