Both are looking good, but ++ to the F458 for width and stance, ++ to the Z for raw looks and contrast.

(Still not warming up to the Z lower front fascia, hood lines, or interior). The rest looks downright wicked!!

STFU douche bag!!! Really??? Seriously?? You call me out out on my post and start crap like your some billy bad azz.... been with this and that crap??

You need to go stand in front of a mirror look in it while you pull your big girl panties up and ask yourself why you are a douche.

I would bet $100 fuggin dollars you wouldn't say that crap to my face to face. I can promise you that!!!

You tuff guys that are keyboard warriors seem to amaze me.

A front engine long curvy hood sports car will always look better than a giant windshield with a trunk in front of it. That's why I'm hoping this Zora doesn't go there.

The 458 has a seven-year Ferrari Genuine Maintenance program - as in free

Most FErraris are horrible in terms of maintenance and are a headache. They certainly garner attention, but they are like blown glass fragile

Alas, much like Vettes, Ferraris earned a certain reputation over the years that has changed in the last decade. The 458 is the single most reliable car I've ever owned, and the quality is top notch. Even better than my Porsches. And 7 year maintenance is included on all new Ferraris now, so that part of your argument is out the window as well.

458 is being replaced this year by the 488. I love Vettes, but you can't compare to the new Ferrari's.

An animal that gets put down by the outgoing ZR1 and Z06s.
And an animal that isn't nearly as beautiful or jaw dropping as a Lamborghini for the same prices.

An Animal that comes with the most douche bagged attitude automotive company ever behind it that pretty much states that 350,000+ dollar car is just a Rental.

There's only one good car company that comes from Italy, and their emblem isn't a prancing horse...but a muscular raging bull.

I wouldn't think twice, I would take the 458 (or new 488) over any Corvette in a split second! To me, it's not all about horsepower or top speed. Of course the Z06 is faster, but that's not what turns me on. The C7 Corvette may be beautiful, but the 458/488 (I feel) is a whole step above.

And for those that would take a Z06 over the 458/488, that's fine with me. Everyone has an opinion, that's what makes the world intersting!

I won't argue that the Lambo for similar money is a cooler/better car, but it's still subjective.

Where do you get this "rental" thing? Last I heard the only Ferraris you bought but couldn't actually own were the FXX and other limited HyperCar $1million stuff. I'm not arguing, just curious where you got the info that all Ferrari purchases are like that, as I've never heard anything like that. Maybe I'll ask my buddy at the Ferrari/Maserati dealer for some input.

On the last line...I'd argue that Pagani, other than being all around 7 figures is the ultimate Italian, but that's just me!

http://mashable.com/2014/08/30/ferra...se-and-desist/ just one of a few examples, of Ferrari's attitude with Customer Cars.

It's either your car, or it isn't.

Yet another reason to hate Facebook, Twitter, etc. Too many people know your business, haha. I find it hard to believe that Ferrari could actually make that hold up unless you sign some sort of agreement/contract stating you won't customize the car upon purchase. If it were me, I'd spend every last penny fighting that sh*+, of course I'd never decorate a Ferrari quite as hideously as he did, haha. I do have much less respect for Ferrari than I used to, mainly due to the drama they cause when magazines, TV shows, etc want to test their cars against other makes. But I still love the cars. A 512BB is definitely on my list of dream cars, as is an F12.
