A turkish member on rennteam.com measured his 458 Italia's performance from 100 to 200 kph.
(Factory's claim is 7,0 s. AMS did 6,9 s with 2 persons onboard. Quattroruote did 6,4 s with 1 person onboard. French Sport Auto did 6,0 s, this is the best, yet)

He managed 6,4 s with 2 persons onboard and 6,2 s with only driver (with 60-70% of fuel).

I think this is not the first proof that Ferrari customer cars perform as well as press cars. For instance, VBOX results from Lambopower in 2011 already with 60-130 mph in 7,7s (= 100-200 km/h in 6,5s) with a brand new car with only 400 km on it, VBOX video from german autobahn with 200-250 km/h in 6,0s among many others. I have also seen a customer 458 doing 100-200 km/h in 7s, significantly uphill, shortshifting at 7000rpm with 2 persons onboard.

But, haters will still hate. :cool:

Looking forward to 458 "Scuderia". This will be a beast, for sure.
 
I think I've lost interest in road cars when I clicked the 956 thread parked next to the F1 :angelic:

^You would take that passionless piece of cold metal over this Italian thoroughbred?

Thats amazing to me..:D
 
That is how the 458 Italia should have come stock. IMO sounds even better than Akrapovic.

It is surprising to hear Simon struggling to 'love' the 458 because he has nothing but the utmost praise for the 458 from all the long term reports.
 
Having read his previous long term reports, it seems he struggled to love 458 from day one despite being very impressed with it. Maybe he likes analogue supercars better?
