You lost me somewhere, but I love your 458. I would love to buy one, but I just can't.

[littlewhitewagon]

The 458 is an amazing machine, it costs more than my house. But it's not my type of car, I jump my STI because it's fun and I can laugh it off. I don't think I could do that with the 458 and wouldn't feel right doing it even if I could afford to.

Fishtail? Please upload a chase video, I didn't feel that at all. I had the A/C running on accident during most of the day.

[littlewhitewagon]

I did end up going off on a turn afterwards, this is what happens when you forget which turns are where. The video wasn't cut, I only had a 2G SD in the GoPro. I have no clue how to edit.

Pushing too hard? I would say hardly as I have over 10k miles on the R1Rs and had no cupping or any abnormal wear on the tires. I am still driving on those tires. 30 laps and your tires are bald on a new car?

I'm not here to argue, the corner speeds tell the story; the straight speeds on the 458 are amazing.

[littlewhitewagon]

@elirentz- ah, we are talking about different things. I agree that the 458 should walk all over an STi on that course. I was saying the driver was at his limit and even all that money can't fix that.

Anyone thinking a stage 2 STi with bolt ons on that course would match a 458 is higher than giraffe pussy. Certain portions, yes, all of it, no.

[elirentz]

Nice driving got to love the exotic point bys. The 458 obviously wasn't pushing it from fear of something happening. I mean look at all that painter's tape lol.

[littlewhitewagon]

@elirentz - watch his tail, you can see that he is trying to push it but the computers are keeping him in check. I don't know what mode he was in, and didn't bother asking afterwards

Love my sti But I hate that under steer ... Seems the 2011's aren't much better? Very nice and consistent driving

@digitrevx Lol

[MonsterChad27]

Nice one!! Glad I have an STi

[99EclipseGSX]

Wow, I know Subarus understeer but I didn't realise it was that bad.

[Jayturbo71]

Sorry but the video is too large (I don't know how to edit videos) so couldn't upload... :-( If you have an FTP site, I can load it up there and you can edit and upload if you want...

[Jayturbo71]

I was too busy but finally uploaded the video that I was trying to show you guys. It's titled --> 458 vs STI at Chuckwalla - Did STI really beat 458?

[waveslide09]

What was your diff setting?



[digitrevx]

Rofl Ferrari driver butt hurt because he lacks skill and confidence in corners but manages to find the gas pedal in the straits.. Classic.
