this car costs a good RM 2 million, how could it be common?

Never seen a silver 430 spider before; silver 430s are pretty rare, especially in spider guise.

Re-post; saw this several months back:

well, its not F430 common... that car is reaallyyyy common.. i remember at the Ferrari gathering...like more than 70% was 430s. and thats minus the scuderia versions. theres probably less than 10 SLS so far thats been spotted round. even 458 Italia has more counts than the SLS

Quite a while since I posted here, haven't got my share of supercars for quite some time. Anyways, I got some jet-black R8...



...a baby Lambo...


...and a papa Lambo.

Hmm, if you're given a choice between SLS and 458, which one you'll pick?

maybe sls lo? cos its the most powerful V8 N/A engine in the world maa...

Yeah. But the Ferrari looks so pretty and the exhaust note is so intoxicating.

hahaa..youre kidding right? the SLS exhaust note for me is the best sounding one..should take a listen to it again
the SLS sound is purely what the engine sounds like... AMG didn't do any sound synthesizing with it..
Technically the SLS shouldn't be a direct rival to the 458 cuz the SLS is more of a GT car since its front engined and the 458 is a supersports car. but in terms of everyday usage, got to be the SLS. More practical and if I'm not mistaken, a little economical too despite the 6.2litre engine. and the 458 is deemed to be very very common sooner or later just like the 430. mmm

thenewaddiction: Yeah! I like tht SLS's sound too. Its like "Vroooom" and automatically will think of, Its a SLS!

who said that? i thought 458 has the best NA engine in the world?

both also V8.

458: 4.5Litre 562hp = 562/4.5 = 124hp/litre
SLS: 6.2Litre 563hp = 563/6.2 = 91hp/litre?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

but in the end, a Mercedes is still... a Mercedes?
juz like the LFA is still.. a Lexus only?

458 Italia

if you let me choose. i will take LFA over 458 and SLS and even a 670 SV

Yes I know SLS's exhaust note is what a V8 should sounded like, but I prefer what Ferrari had done with their exhaust tuning. I think the owners of 458 doesn't find it to be difficult to drive it everyday. It can be comfortable as long as you keep the normal settings on and it has 7 gears just like the SLS, so I don't think grand touring is a problem for 458. Boot space I think SLS wins it, despite the engine is in the front. Fuel consumption won't be a problem if you can afford a car like this.

probably its rare.
by the way, a white LFA in Brunei. u gotta max ur speaker to hear it roaring.

valid reasonings.. haha i guess it depends on peoples preferences. different people, different views
it depends... no doubt the 458 Italia will go in the books for one of the most beautifully designed cars of all time but for me, i don't think its as special.because i knw it'll be flooding the market cuz its Ferrari's entry level Berlinetta (california is cheaper of its not a Berlinetta ferrari). but like i said, peoples preferences.. perhaps the enlightened scuderia kind of version on the 458 will be my pick

as for the LF-A.. the back looks ridiculously ugly.. i think lexus lost ideas at the back.. but everywhere else looks amazing..and the sounds, <3, but the price is 599 GTO money (£300thousand ++) and i won't go for the LF-A over the GTO.

LFA looks amazing for me... and i prefer 458 over SLS simply because SLS looks ugly for me... ridiculous door and erm.. ugly...

just my very personal preferences though.. i know many of you really do like it

SLS. Simply because they only made another one after what 40 years? It has all the makings of a classic just like the one before. Yes it's not the fastest, loudest or the baddest, still those gull wing doors are original that only other car manufacturers want to copy.

458 will only be preceded by another louder and faster Ferrari whereas I think the SLS will be it's one of a kind for quite some time to come.
