Re: McLaren MP4 vs Ferrari 458

cars r not made for drifting.......................................they r made to go fast n effective esp the mac. i think u got to unlearn what u know about driving when facing the Mac. to me sliding a car around doesnt equate to it being a good car or a fast car or a car with feel...

in relatively arctic weather, and sim run by those selling the car... so barrel of salt. GIGO

But other mag tests have not gone well. Same issue with electronics, claims of hydraulics not working, re-test run by factory on different tires different day again basically same speed as a GT2 RS and 458

interested to see real mp4 track run, log, and compare it to other supercars

Hmm I dunno if that's a good thing man. Let's say in F1, when the driver needs to change his style to suit the car, he usually doesn't win races, right?

we r talking about a possible 10 seconds improvement on a track at SIC if the simulated time is to be believed. for 10 seconds a lap more than a 458...i will change my style.

458 is 27 capable on its factory street tire. 28s been run locally by foreign pro mostly messing around, mistakes and all, logged. Semis 23 range..
