    Regular 458 held up pretty well considering. The speciale got a bad jump I feel.

    I think the gap would be even smaller if the 458 had the same sticky Cup 2 tires ;)

    Here's another 458 vs Specialé dragrace (slightly wet conditions)

    Right. And an ECU tune with headers and sport cats would have evened the HP as well.

    I've been telling people this all along and no one wants to hear it. If they got closer to 200 mph the 458 would have passed the speciale again

    Italia hung tough, any idea if he was in sport or race mode?

    Because from 290kmh to 330kmh the Italia will out 4-5 car lengths on a speciale. The S has more downforce which at 300+ is just drag.....

    Yes. That will do it. Italia has lower Cd.

    Exactly. Get in some curves, however, and said drag becomes an asset rather than a liability.

    hence the emphasis on downforce these days, not top speed. The top speeds are now out of reach on almost all tracks.

    Yes, that is why I said only at 300+ is it drag!
