That's a shame... The 458 is hard to beat though. It's one of my favorite cars of all time. Drives like a dream, best sound ever and control like no other.

Can't wait to see the scud version of this bad boy.

Cool vid! I'd like to see how the MP4-12C drives in the hands of Jenson or Lewis since as I understand, they were involved in the design/testing of it.

Here is the latest TopGear episode.. they review it at the start of the show:

Results pretty much the same.. zero soul or excitement in the way it feels. It did set the 2nd fastest time on their track though.

Wow, I would have expected better results on the McLaren. The 458 is an extremely hard car to beat though...it does everything well. Car drives amazing when cruising, tranny works amazing, and tears up the track (all while being very comfy). All the pro drivers love it.

Wow, I didn't know it was that fast on their track.. It may not have the soul of the Ferrari, but it's hard to argue with its performance.. Kinda like a GTR.. No soul and no stirring of the emotions, but your grandma can drive it at 9/10th it's limits..

Actually, I've always really liked Tiff. He's very much about fun and the joy of driving. Now Clarkson is a whole other story.
