Car Talk

But I'll take the Ferrari.

 

I would take any of the three.

 

Go Ferrari... I love the new Italia.

 

458 is the new standard. it grew on me and it's now my favorite ferrari of all time. it's so ahead of its time. it makes f430 boring as hell. clarkson agrees with me. lol

 

Nice....... all 3

 

I'd take the Ferrari but I still maintain that no other road car sounds as good as that damn Lexus. I just wish it had more bite to match its bark...

 

meh.. i think the pitch is little too high for my taste. overrated IMO. but it does have the best interior.

 

I'd probably take the Porsche because it comes with 3 pedals.

 

The Ferrrari in yellow =

 

This is why I stay with Porsche.

 

0-150mph in the Noble=14 seconds? Wow.

 

That's ridiculous acceleration. The Noble is light as all hell though and built for speed.

 

I hate to say it, but the Lexus comes in 4th of 4 for me. It's not about the performance only, but the balance of performance and cost.

 

So does the Noble.


With a button of death.

 

I hate to say it but at that price point the LFA should offer more performance than the GTR Hells, for the price of an LFA, I could get a GT3RS and a GTR and still have $150K+ left over. Toyota wanted to make the LFA a limited edition, niche, iconic car like the Enzo. Unfortunately, they dropped the ball on Enzo-like performance. I think the 918 follows the footsteps laid by the Enzo to a better degree with brilliant hybrid technology, jawdropping Nurburgring times, ridiculous mileage per gallon and a style that is teh sexy.

 

An actual missile launch switch.

 

lol, i'd be more than happy with the cheapest car of the bunch

 

^
Absolutely.

 

I used to think that way but with the trans in the ferrari and how fast it shifts not any more. Ill take that style any day now over the row your own.

 

They screwed the LFA in this comparo. This is a sub 4 second super car. This review is so baised towards the 458..

 

Tested the Ferrari transmission in my boy's California and I was underwhelmed to say the least, even at 100 mph. I did several hot laps with the E-tronic Gallardo and while impressed by the technology and the 570hp rear engine, would still out of habit reach my left foot for the clutch LOL. Call me old fashioned but I still like rowing through 6 gears and using my left foot.

IMO, exiting the freeway and doing a well executed 4th to 3rd or 3rd to 2nd rev-matched shift in my 911 is priceless.

 

Didn't know this. Link?

 

^
OP.

 

Ya I know, and the switch is cool etc. I just like the P-car more.

 

and ,...minus the 911 part (cayman s in a few years maybe )



fsttyms1, maybe I am old fashioned, but I don't really care that the Ferrari (or whatever flappy paddle gearbox car) shifts faster. It's cool technology and makes the car faster etc, but I wanna do everything myself. If companies stopped making good manual transmissions, then I would probably just change over and that would be that. But for now,...if I can get a car with a nice traditional manual etc,.....sign me up.

 

I wouldn't kick any of these out of the garage.

But I think I'll take the 458 in red, please. Or the GT3 in black.
