GT2 RS or 458 Italia?

Boost Gomez · 08-20-2010, 09:15 PM

The GT2 RS and 458 Italia are on two completely different performance levels. The GT2 RS for me.

Weighs the same as the flat 6, approx 200kg.

This is a no brainer.

Italia.

That's a tough choice. Do you want insane performance that looks to most people like any other Porsche, or do you want very good performance, the amazing engine/exhaust note, and the Italian styling of the 458?

I would probably lean toward the Porsche, simply because Italian cars are so fucking temperamental, even now.

The turbo engine in the GT2 RS produces loads of power and torque and it might be the fastest around the ring. But it still sounds like shit compared to a F458 italia's NA V8

.

Plus, with the added bonus of a beautiful body, my choice would always be F458 italia

GT2........ less likely to catch on fire and burn to the ground. Seems to be a very real issue with the 458, seen several of them on Wrecked Exotics destroyed due to engine fires.

458 italia has gotta be the best car in the world based on reviews

too bad it does not come in manual gearbox

so still ferrari, amazing cars...porsche is a rung below. but nice manual.

SloPoke · 08-26-2010, 09:54 PM

The count is 9 for GT2 RS and 17 for 458

ridin135 · 08-26-2010, 10:02 PM

458 hands down they arn't even in the same realm for me

crfine88 · 08-26-2010, 10:04 PM

Italia. Looks, sound, and exclusivity

Chenry135 · 08-26-2010, 10:12 PM

I like it when my cars don't catch fire... so i guess the GT2, although I would rather have a GT3 RS...

Youre missing out.

The F430 was probably the most enjoyable car I've ever owned, and probably ever will own.

Ferrari all the way. Then again I've never driven a gt2 so I may be misjudging.
