    458 Speciale is one of the greatest Ferraris ever built. How anyone would buy the new stuff over this doesn't get it imo.

      100% I've driven LaFerrari, 456, 488, F12, and 599... none of them come even close to Speciale in terms of a fun driving experience.

    I have a 458 Speciale and I have to agree with James. The sound of the V8 engine right behind you is epic and as the revs climb, when you see the lights start to illuminate on the steering wheel, it adds to the visceral experience. However I also agree that my GT3 RS is better on the track. The RS has better brakes and a better PDK transmission. Both are special cars however and put a big grin on your face, just one without a helmet and one with a helmet.

    As a Corvette fan boy it was interesting to hear the C8 development engineers say that they wanted to replicate the Ferrari 458 but not surprising, because as you said you can give the 458 a bit of a thrashing without either scaring yourself or going to jail. Have you seen Ryan Tuerck has a 458 engine in a Corolla drift car and hearing at or near the limiter all the time is epic. He also has a V10 Judd in a Supra, World Time Attack car.
