Default Ferrari vs CTS-V

Did not win but that car sound bad ***

Traffice cleared up after we passed a wreck.
He took off so I took off after him. I hit about 110mph and he was about 10 bus length ahead of me.

No way, I love it. Anybody know the reason why the center exhaust pipe looks smaller?

Are those turbo powered? If so, the reason for the center exhaust being smaller would be for the wastegate valve(s)...

Did you see the 458 vs ZR1 on the recent US Top Gear episode? Pretty impressed that the ZR1 was a second quicker around their track than the 458...

To save weight or to have sex with the car

Does this help?

They arent turbo charged, its because the 458 is fugly and Ferrari did what ever they could to make the design even more hideous. What happened to sexy Ferrari's? The 458, the California, the FF, FUGLY!!!!!!! At least IMO...dont get me wrong I would take one in a heart beat, and then sell it for a Lambo!

Its not 100% a sexy car. But honeslt compaired tot he 360 and 430 before it, it is MUCH better looking. I love the look of this car for the most part. Its purposeful, the odd holes at the inside of the headlights etc serve a purpose. I was once an engineering student. So when Function can make the form look that pretty... BONER

I have to disagree


Its very boxy and the lines while purposeful are just kinda plain.


Where as this just has all the purposefullness of the enzo with such gorgeous swooping lines and evil meanacing looks.

Hands down the 458 looks better.
