Petrolhead vs Sadness?
Is it the mark of true petrolhead (or just a very sad individual) to park up, drop all the windows, just to listen to a new Ferrari 458 in flat grey pull away? I think they're about Ł180k new.

It looked like this, but sounded fab... Bow down

Thats not sad. During a business trip to Lyndhurst, Hampshire, myself and a colleague finished early so that we could sit at a pub and listen to the Meridien Maserati salesmen leaving the forecourt at going home time!! Good beer and the exhaust sound beats pub music anyday Thumbs Up

That is pure automotive porn.
& I have to say the 458 is one of the nicest sounding Ferraris ever made.

No not at all!
What is sad is wrapping it in matt grey & sticking daft stickers all over a car like that!

I love my v8 - we took it to Belgium today and the scream of the v8 on the French motorways is awesome - shame it's not a land rover Whistle

The 458 is a beautiful car, no doubt about that, but I wouldn't buy one,..it'd be a 599 or a 612 for me.

theres an F40 in the ferrari garage near me, only ferrari I've ever liked.

Personally think the 458 is too flash and not very 'ferrari'. Id have the McLaren 650S or a vanquish for the money. Cheers, David

I spent last weekend listening to a McLaren 650s as it went past the house. Looked and sounded lovely but it doesn't come with a tow bar so I'm out Whistle
