    Not to mention that they cannot reach the aero and the trick new electronics. I also suspect that the Speciale will also have different suspension settings. 1.5s faster than the Italia around Fiorano is not just a matter of 35 CV!!!

    458 is just so much better looking. Just buy the new tires and you'll have 50% of the track performance increase.

    The only things I really object to are:
    the stripes which can be omitted
    the winglets in front of the rear wheels*
    the indent on the passenger side of the dash*
    still like my diamond cut two tone wheels better which can be changed

    *so there are really only two things I have major objections to.

    Regardless, I will not be trading in my Spider for the 458S.

    Holy sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ferrari has done the impossible. This looks better than the 458 in the front IMO without the stripe.

    Wow!!!!!!!!!! I'm so much loving the front end but I like the 458's rear better.

    we need much less than two weeks, I am sure..:)
    this is simply sooo nice and growing hour after hour to me.
    Now i would just add dark wheels
    and it would be a perfect gentleman driver car...
    End of the story. Last doubt to me remain the price..

    It's look so much better with out the stripe.

    Differents configurations on real life could change this forum opinion.I want to see that moment.

    Looks better without the stripe. Stradale stripe was the best, I warmed up to the Scuderia stripe but not understanding the blue and white. I know you'll be able to get different colors for a price but seemed like an odd choice.

    Also, first time I've noticed but no carbon fiber side mirrors....unless Ferrari is now making that an expensive option.

    I don't like the wheels and there is not enough carbon fiber on the outside... I think they Dident rise to the occasion with this one!

    I find myself trying to picture the center blue stripe as rosso corsa. I think that would be my liking. It would resemble scud stripes but in white. Maybe even go gray on sides.

    Agreed, the Scuderia just looks like a bullet!

    The front Ford GT hood vent/scoop seems to break up the fluid lines of the 458.

    Can anyone photoshop maybe a 16M or Scud stripe on the 458 Speciale?
    I just think it needs narrower stripes

    Nice. Thanks. Would be really interesting to see the same pic with the original cars on the right side to compare as well. Hint hint. ;)

    Someone photoshop the stripe white in the center and red and green on the outer parts.

    Not a fan of the stripes as the majority is, but I like it. I'm not a fan of the wheels, they probably save a lot of weight, but are ugly. I wonder why they didn't get to center lugs. I'm also not a fan of the badge on the front, but from a previous pshop, it looks fine blacked out.

    Yes I don't know why you have to spend a million dollars to get center lugs on a Ferrari .... The prices they charge it should be at least an option

    I did not look closely at the interior , but focused on the "big bumps" (distracted by huge "bumps", a recurring problem (lol)) Apologies. Best.

    Busy thread but I don't think it will run with the MP4 especially if the Mac has the same tires.
