    looks great, how does the tubi sound? any videos of her running down the street? I have the stock exhaust but trying to decide which will make it sound like a formula race car

    The Tubi exhaust sounds amazing! I don't have any video yet but there's a bunch of videos on YouTube.

    Great looking 458 Italia. I traded my C7 Z06 toward my 15 Italia last year. Didn't like the appearance of the Z06. You'll like your 458 more every time you drive it. I'll bet that Tubi really sounds great. Had one on my 360 & really sounded great.

    nice car. hey op - can you share your thoughts on the Z06 v. 458? I have always disliked Z06 but have been really impressed by what the Z06 is capable of for the price point. I've never driven one (i have a 458). would love your thoughts on this

    The ZO6 with 650 horsepower and 650 foot pounds of torque is an animal. You can't just Hammer the throttle or you'll go sideways before the ESC kicks in. In cold weather it's even worse. You have to learn how to manage the throttle. I went to the Ron Fellows Corvette School in Nevada and really learned how to drive it. Once you get things figured out, it is fast. When casual driving with automatic transmission, shifts are not really quick but when you go Full Throttle they are very quick. As far as bang for the buck, it's really hard to beat.
    It feels heavier than the 458 due to the front engine but I believe they weigh about the same. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Happened to park my white 458 Spider next to a white C7 Z06 at the gym late this afternoon. Guess which car got all the gawks?

    Good move buying the 458. That Vette is a really ugly car.

    Didn't your mother ever tell you: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?

    Maybe it's just the angle and the wheels....

    The 458 is on a whole different planet, enjoy it!

    Oh, good grief. To listen to some of you guys, as if it’s not a Ferrari it’s somehow a lesser class and must be ugly. I just bought a C7 Z06 and think it’s not only sexy as hell but is probably more than a match for the 458. I do know for certain that is way more than my 308. As for attention getting, 2 years ago I rented a C7 from National Exotic at the Boston airport and spent a weekend at the Mt. Washington hotel with friends with their 360, which was consistently overlooked next to the bright yellow C7 convertible. There are other great cars besides our beloved Ferraris.

    Just went through it with my 458...if you want the formula sound you will have to keep the stock headers and go straight pipe after that...sounds beautiful!
    Or if u want to spend the extra money just do IPE headers..cat delete pipe and muffler delete pipe
