Let's get back on topic. The 599 is a front-engined car with a heavy weight distribution, and the 458 is ME with a lighter WD; that's why the 458 is faster. Not to mention the dimensions. It's like comparing the Ford GT to the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.

Apparently the 458 "will never do a 10.8 per 1/4 mile." According to a Google search, it is verified along with the Macca's 10.6@136.

i think the 0-100 and 0-200 time of the 458 are wrong.
i read the 0-100 time is 3.4 and the 0-200 is 10.4.
im not sure but i think the 0-250 time is wrong too.

Considering how fast a GTB is, i also dont believe a 458 would be faster in a straight line in ANY performance element, has a "Proper" test even been donein acceleration? and those lap times, iorano i believe is Marketing bullshite, as pretty much every Ferrari Fiorano Laptime, TG Track is crap(TG obviously) maybe Ferrari just called it :There fastest car ever" to maket its sales..(I Still think its one of the Top 10 BEST looking Ferraris ever made) and Italian cars.

There is no way the Italia is faster in straight line acceleration. No way. Track times however would be closer...depending on driver, conditions etc...I would still have to give the GTO the edge there as well.
