    I have driven a bunch of new exotics and spent time with the 488 and for me the overall experience of what the 458 delivers is something nothing else can match.

    Nothing better than that sound. 458 in a tunnel. Could do that all day long.

    Do you guys think that 458 in the tunnel had exhaust work ? Or is that OEM

    Damn that sounds good. Gives me the chills. We have some good tunnels here in the NYC area but unfortunately there is always traffic in them :(

    Exactly so, Chris. The "ugly" truth. Faster and more modern doesn't always mean better.

    Kind regards,

    It's a Waylens Horizon camera with their own software which allows you to superimpose different gauges on the image. Seems most people think it's a good camera and has good software but the mount for the camera leaves a bit to be desired.

    It's the new Waylens cam that uses the OCB port. So far I really like it but the battery life is somewhat limited.

    I have the IPE F1 Titanium exhaust system with no cats (test pipe). It also comes with a nice button to quiet things up....I call it the "wife button." :)

    Hey - guys I'm a Mechanical Engineer and you cannot get a good comparison of the deep frequency spectrum from the exhaust note when the engine is unloaded in neutral. Frankly they all sound like crap in comparison to a loaded engine. The only good way is a tunnel near peak torque and max RPM!!!

    Somewhat disagree: you can totally hear an engine's sound potential at idle,
    at least I can..

    My Italia sounds like a Cigarette high performance boat when not under load LOL
