Default Ferrari 458 video review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1JdT...yer_detailpage


I was going to post this the other day but didn't cause it's an older video. But I saw the other thread with the Ferrari getting run over by the Ford truck, I thought this was cool especially if you see second 30 of the video the guy shows how a person can fit in the trunk.

Anyone else notice that when he slammed the trunk it didn't actually close?...lol.

$2500 a day is steep. What I paid to drive it on the track was a fraction of that and you get to truly push it how it was designed for. Yes it was for far less time but probably got a better idea about what the car was all about.

Amazing car, but I'd still choose the Scud.

I thought the move slamming the trunk was pretty rude.

Yeah, it's not your Ferrari, but have some respect! Someone's nice enough to loan you their brand new Ferrari, treat it like it's your own.

I think it's the way they design front trunks. Unlike an engine bonnet, the lid does not weigh enough to overcome the double latch. You drop it, it latches, but you still have to push it down hard.....very hard.....for the 2nd final click.

I've driven a 360 Spider; its front lid works the same way. Ditto for my Cayman.

None of those can compare with the 458 though...........drooooool
