At least we got 1 win. LOL
I dont give a F*** what happens I am getting a car and loving it every day.
Not sure about the rest of the world but a 458 in newport beach is not very special. I have 4 of with in 3 streest of my house.
Being a past Ferrari owner 360, F430 Spider, 599 GTB I am happ and proud to say HELLO McLaren.
I even turned down my 458 order which would be sitting in my garage right now if I would of got it.
NO thank you.
Also dont forget for those like myself that love aftermarket performance 12C has Twin Turbos. Do you know how easy it is to get another 50hp of of this car with ECU tune and exhaust. Try that on a 458 and tell me how much it cost you. LOL

This drag race video is now spreading all over the Internet and Twitter, with other forum and blog sites linking to YouTube and writing articles about the race.
What is ironic, and just goes to show you how insignificant Fifth Gear is in the U.S., is that a good 'ol drag race clip will have everybody in North America shouting about how the new McLaren is the fastest car money can buy. Which, of course, it is.
Sorry Tiff- it's going to take more than your whinging to convince the rest of the world that the 12C is shite.

Hope they send over 'McLaren Orange' with the lightest weight possible and the most wicked inconel 'sport' exhaust sound they can tune with shift times quicker than 'blinking' for the US review.........and give Ferrari a WUP ASS @ their own game!!This drag race video is now spreading all over the Internet and Twitter, with other forum and blog sites linking to YouTube and writing articles about the race.

Seriously - that Noble is a bad ass car, much more on par with the GT2RS than the 12C or 458. Just raw terrifying power.
Size wise it almost looks like a miniature car
just found this on another forum.

Dedicated to those who believe that there is no way the 458 press car is a ringer..
Compare with the Evo test above.. Those 2 cars are customer cars..

Gasp! That race was not authorized by Ferrari! That is a customer car- who knows what kind of crappy tires he might have on there and what kind of aftermarket exhaust that might slow it down. Take that video down from YouTube right away!
