    I'm blown away.
    I have never driven anything like that car before,it truly rewrote the supercar rules.
    Hard to imagine any improvement over this,absolute perfection in performance,comfort and looks,IMHO.
    Pics coming tomorrow....

    How & where did you get the opportunity to drive one? I was at the [458] unvieling @ Lake Forest Sportscars a few weeks ago and the stores owner hadn't even driven one yet.

    I think the OP now has one, and has been waiting (im)patiently to pick it up...

    Very nice ride. The 458s will not help the market for 430s at all.

    Fantastic car! And to think I didn't like it (the 458 in general) when I first saw it <shakes head in shame>
