    I could be wrong but I think that the middle exhaust on the road car is the quiet one, then the valves open up on the two outside pipes once you reach the required revs. The challenge car doesn't need to follow the same rules ;)

    WOW, what a machine. Your new car is simply AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT!!!

    Ferrari really got it right with the design of the 458 IMHO.

    As others have said, enjoy your new car in the greatest of health and keep the shiny side up.

    Stunning car.. I so much prefer understated style and finish of the "racey" interior to the road version..

    Any idea what over all weight savings are compared to the road car ?

    Congratulations! enjoy it in good health. One question regarding the centerlock wheels on your car. Is it just a large nut screwed tightly to the large central spindle? What is the torque value and do you need or does the car come with a big torque wrench to loosen and tighten the wheel nut.
