[@AB-80X]

You might want to rethink that hp number a bit. Mat is way off here. For starters, he quotes PS for the Ferrari and bhp for the Corvette. Secondly, the bhp number for the Z51 which this is, is 495, not 482. So we are looking at 495 vs. 597, so 102 bhp of difference. Secondly it well documented that the 458 was slightly overrated on power, and it is equally well documented that the C8 is a bit underrated. So you can be quite sure that it's more like an 85-90 bhp difference if not less. Thirdly, let's look at weight. It is more like 125 kg difference in the real world. All that said, the C8 does well for what it is for sure, but one should not be surprised that the 458 is not THAT much better, especially considering the 8 speed trans in the C8 and the frankly abysmal launch control system in the 458's,

[@rudymcrudy964]

@AB-80X even if what u r saying could be possible which tho i dont agree , it's still almost 100 HP less and 125KG heavier and still only lost by a .1 of a second but remember that the C8 is $131,000 less which makes everything you said a waste of your time.

[@lukas6610]

The ferrari is almost 10 years old the reason it gets so expensive is the beautiful engine sound that na v8 revving up to 9k rpm is just unbeatable also its timeless design. Also the very simple but pretty interior with high quality materials. The car is also very nicely balanced and is perfect for circuit days its all about driving experience no one would notice the .5 s launch time difference from 0-60 in normal driving conditions.

[@AB-80X]

@@bmstylee That is such a lame statement. First off, those engines will need one hell of a huffer to make 1000 hp. Secondly, GM does not "undercam" their engines, that's a stupid comment. They build their engines to last, to be comfortable to drive and to meet emissions, plain and simple. Sure you can but some BTR cam and shove it in there and make more power, and you will then also wave goodbye to your warranty, the reliability and the street friendly manners. I have built plenty of LS engines and a few LT1 engines, so I know what they can and can't do. If you think you can just add a lot of power without sacrificing some of the things that make the car as nice to drive as it is, you are sorely mistaken. By that account you might as well throw a pair of turbos on the 458. People do that too and they live as well, so it is what it is. Apples to apples, stock vs. stock. That's the name of the game.

Of course Ferrari is still nice to own if one can comfortably afford it, but then someone who owns a Porsche 918 should laugh at the one who owns a 458 and claim they should give up on it since it's not a 918? Of course not. There are good things in every orice range. That is how they should be judged. Price / Performance ratio is the key. Heavy weight boxers are not thought of as the best boxers. They are only judged by who is the best boxer in the heavy weight division. Everyone doesn't just ignore every other division. They look at who is the best in each division. Corvette C8 is amazing when it comes to *Price / Performance* ratio.
