Woww that does look stunning... I'm not suppose to fly for the next few months so I may just have to swim for it!!
Gorgeous!
Re C4S I'm happy to hear you confirm that it's still a tail happy when you want it to be.
One of the guys at the dealer was telling me that it's just as playful as the C2S but instead of the nannies kicking in (to stop an impending slide of the road) the front drive "rolls on" and provides just enough traction assistance to pull you out of trouble, so no sudden throttle cut-off etc.
He also said that if you want to have some side-ways fun to really put your foot down trough the curves, the ECU will recognize by the "over the top" throttle input that you want to "play" and (depending on the speed) it's setting will allow you to do just that!
I CAN'T WAIT!

, we plan to shoot the ducktail and the 4s together next. No plan to shoot the 458+4S yet. I do have some shots of C2s with 458.

Wow! Great picture! It's always a great experience getting together with fellow enthusiasts going for drives, taking pics, and sharing experiences. It's great you and Fester are close enough to be able to do that.
Keep the pics coming, your cars are simply amazing!!

I can moving to LA and start a new gig. Good thing there isn't pic of me with my body hanging out of the car, if you do, do not post those.

It isn't the cleanest way, dragging the image into the dialog box did not work for me. I must have tried it 10 times. I ended up just pasting the url in instead.

I LOVE THIS THREAD!
Alright great posts! but you just know you can't stop here!
MDC lets see a few more side by side shots and perhaps a comparison in character/drive and over all impressions on both performance and live-ablitity.
Clearly apples and oranges as one car is Double the $ of the other... but you know what I mean.
Seeing shots like these it sure does make me feel nostalgic for my 360 spider almost wish I would have bought the 430... but truth be told both of those pale in comparison to the 458!
Many guys like myself were very disappointed that there was such a huge jump in price between the 430 and the 458... effectively replacing the 360 with a 430 and so on just stopped dead in it's tracks.
The California took over in the 430 price range and going from a 360 to 430 to a California!? yeah not gonna happen... I don't know what Ferrari was thinking!
That said the 458 is very representative of the price point it's going for, what a machine!
Awesome shots guys!
