VBUGKING Report post Posted April 10, 2013 None of the races look close, haha. Mclaren is fast! Did the 458 use launch control at all? I drove a 458 for the first time the other day, and I have to admit I liked it, although not as much as my Mclaren. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGTS Report post Posted April 10, 2013 The more vids the better as far as I'm concerned, but I also think you're demonstrating quite well why roll-on vids are so popular. Most people are interested in how the cars compare, and would rather see the drivers taken out of the equation to a large degree. No doubt the Mac is a very fast car, but you're killing people out of the hole so badly it's making other pretty fast cars look like 4-bangers by comparison!

FikseSTS Report post Posted April 10, 2013 yea, I got in the 458 with the driver beforehand and we figured out how to enable and use launch control.... the 458 launches at 3k RPM, but there isn't enough torque down low to really get it out as well as the McLaren..

FikseSTS Report post Posted April 10, 2013 we were going to do some roll ons down the drag strip, but just ran out of time... the Ferrari go first on one the races, you can see it did take a while to catch up and pass.....

asscelerator Report post Posted April 10, 2013 Even on the pass where the Ferrari went out first, the McLaren reeled it in and walked it. Same thing from a roll. MP4-12C just walks away like it's nothing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVI Report post Posted April 12, 2013 I love the mac, and honestly the 458 has recently grown on my in a huge way. About the race though. Would the fact that the 458 has 22s on the back of it slow it down a bit? Just curious. I would think that would hurt the cars performance. Correct me if im wrong but this is Jordans 458 right? it has 21s on the front and 22s on the back. Just wondering if it would actually be a closer race if it had stocks on it or the SL wheels on it.
