I could listen to you talk about this car all day. Especially after having driven the 488 and F8. It just gives you an all new appreciation for the 458.

The way you describe 458 driving feel is never ever mentioned in any other video on youtube by professional or owner review. I watched 458 video a lot but i guess your description of how it handles well is the most convincing for me.

The description "biological extension of your body" nails it exactly for me. It drives gloriously. I don't feel the urge to upgrade to a 488, an F 1 tributo or a 296. I love the direct steering, the very good damping which holds the car to the ground after bumps in the road and the high rev screaming. The downsides are the nervous throttle (you learn to cope with it over the time) and that what you called stakkato sound of the exhaust. But that is complaining on a very high level. I literally love this car. Living in Germany I can even give it a flatout on the Autobahn. I feel like I'm a lucky guy.

Very nice. There's no doubt that the last NA cars from Ferrari and Porsche really are the pinnacle of the sports car. I'm not at all surprised you haven't swapped this for anything newer.

The front-engine/mid-engine experience is exactly what I feel between my driving my Viper and Trubuto!

A very true and honest review. Keep it up man 👍🏻

I absolutely live for that deep burble sound at 5:34 . It sounds so mean and aggressive and probably sounds like thunder to an unsuspecting non car person lol This is just more motivation for me to do well in life to be able to obtain cars like this.

Awesome video. Very interesting to hear what modifications you’ve done to the car from the perspective of an engine tuner by trade. I bet the car fits like a perfectly-tailored glove now.

The best and useful user review for this model !
Thank you !

458 is the best! Drive man, drive. Great review!

[DisneyTravelSecrets]

What an incredible video. And unlike a lot of videos, you didn’t talk over our heads. Thank you. It makes me love my Maserati GT MC even more. Similar engine.

How have I only come across this channel. The way you describe the driving feel is very enjoyable to listen to. Now going to scroll your channel hoping you have done similar with that FF I saw at the start. Subscribed.

This sportive model design is one of the bests in my opinion

Best review of a car I have ever seen. I own the exact same car and I an 6 feet 2 and agree 100 %

[Qcityxusmcx]

First time I’ve seen your channel. Awesome Review! It was a pleasure listening to you 😎

[blaster]

Man, dream car with dream mods. If I could ever afford it, unrestricted as you have it is the dream ❤️

[edventures]

458 has been my dream car since the day it came out and I got to drive one for a day in Malibu a few years ago and I loved it. Hopefully I’m able to purchase one in the near future 🙏

[edhuslik]

Great car. As you said, no temptation to buy the newest models. In fact, the 458 is probably more fun to drive on the road than either the 488 or F8 while being extremely reliable.

Seeing rock city in the background definitely stunned me for a solid few minutes
