I'd be more than happy with either car When not racing, which is the most comfortable for every day (traffic) use?
both supercars are very use-friendly for a everyday use but 458 has a better DTC (manual and automatic too) and, suprise a better comfort from suspension. Quattroruote writes about SLS "sometimes your spine doesn't the asphalt's imperfections"
For looks I'm afraid I'd pick the SLS 458 is awesome as well... whatever I pick, I'll probably regret it
Both are great and examples of everything that's right with supercars today. The 458 is just too good not to choose though.
Id pick the 458 because its the better looking and better sounding and faster car. but unless ferrari has underrated the power of the 458 by A LOT, then ill believe it trapping 133 mph when other independant tests and owners confirm it.
I'm a huge fan of grand tourers so im going to have to go with the SLS on this one, if I wanted something along the lines a 458 i'd probably choose a Gallardo instead though edit: sls in this color please
Is that really hard to believe with the combination of it's power to weight ratio, modern tires, launch control, and a 7 speed dual clutch?
its power to weight ratio is nothing that we havent seen before. at 3400 lbs and 562 hp (assuming its not underrated), its power to weight ratio is FAR inferior to an Enzo or ZR1. those two cars can trap 130+ mph mainly because of their power. the numbers we have here say the 458 is quicker than an Enzo from 0-250+ sorry, but the Enzo may have the inferior gearbox, but its got an extra 100 hp and weighs even less. edit: forums being weird, ill post the rest of my reply later.
3700 lb sports cars are for old men. I'm old but I'm not THAT old. 458 please. Edit: I'm not a chick either.
