Very kind of you Andy but that would probably make the waiting worse. Yes I'll be there tomorrow - If you want to say hello, I'll be the one with Marks arm twisted...

Bruce,

I thought I would introduce myself as I am new to this forum.

Just took delivery on my MP12 to add to the stable of a 458, LP560 Spider and Cayenne Turbo.

I have done around 70 miles in the mp4 and just took the 458 out to compare and no way are they similar in anyway.

The MP4 is normal setting is granted a more comfortable ride and feel that on a long journey it would be more comfortable. I like the fact the handling and throttle can be managed separately. BUT the 458 is pure raw.... Noisy and far a more race feel. The MP4 is as fast but the 458 let's you hear about it as the MP4 does it with a little less noise and fuss.

Overall I feel they are both different ...MP4 little clinicle and 458 noisy and here I come.

Lucky to have both but if I had only one choice it would be the 458.

Very consistent insights on the two. Where would the Lamborghini sit?
