Ricky, I know I asked you to dyno it after you put the exhaust on but listening to it max rev scared the **** out of me. All I could think of was "how much is a full engine rebuild going to be"! Have a good weekend, Rob.

[@N1NJAKIDD]

Must be cool to see them discuss in depth your car like this. Thanks for giving them permission to film it for us. Sounds mean but beautiful. Awesome car mate👌🏾

[@robertwiddrington]

@@N1NJAKIDD I love Ricky's videos as much as anyone and if his customers, in this case me, don't let him use their cars for content the videos are going to stop, so absolutely no problem on my part. Glad you love the car, I've dreamt of owning one since Jezza reviewed it on TopGear in 2010 and it just took me 13 years to save up enough to buy one!

[@porkster5924]

Those car choices are all mega and you’d be happy with any of them but the Audi R8 with cash is mega tempting. A true everyday supercar that sounds awesome. Naturally aspirated V10, come on.

[@MikeLloyd-z2s]

@@porkster5924my thoughts exactly

[@zayd55]

R8 is great, but its still an Audi. You have to truly go exotic with the notable brands and yes the posable look does come into play. It's just a part of the DNA of supercars.

[@k9any]

Drove one, was unreal

[@Peterbrendanalbert]

Listening to blokes talking about something they know is super relaxing. Maybe something to do with trust. I trust them therefore, I can relax. Good feeling. Thanks Boys.

[@danielmarshall4587]

Good point.

[@tonydavey4171]

Really interesting to listen to people who have the experience and the knowledge. Keep this type of content coming pleaseee=.

[@duster8100]

The last thing you want to own in a hot climate is a car without a roof, the car simply becomes too hot to sit in and sitting in the sun becomes very old really quickly. Very few convertibles are sold in Oz for this reason.

[@robertwiddrington]

I completely agree and find the best day to have the roof down is a cold dry winter's day with the heating cranked up and the seat heater on.

[@TomWxm]

Think he means a very hot British day - which is about 25c😂

[@refuztosay9454]

Holy shit - I thought it was going to blow during the dyno session…..she’s a screamer she is…

[@remcobrouwer3781]

The F430 is not a 5 valve engine, the 360 was. The 458 is a further development of the F430 engine.

[@adrianbennett3761]

As was the 355, which is how it got its name. 3.5 litre 5 valve per cylinder

[@waynerussell5265]

Drove 458 same day as R8 plus on track day. Loved 458 but that R8 plus was on another level with that V10. For me R8. And I drove 520 MCLAREN and GTR same day

[@Dadeets]

458 ‘Tis a beautiful thing to look at …. Glorious to listen to, and frightening to watch one get max’d out even when it’s not your pound notes at risk. Tbh Ricky and team is probably the only person I’d let loose with it …if I had the amazing fortune to own one, wealth to upkeep one and guts to ever leave it in the hands of someone else to take it to the very limits of its capability. Blindingly good content this one love it. If I had the money the choice of all those others -of course it has to be the Ferrari. The last of em in the pile would be the R8. Sorry but really would.

[@colinturner6628]

Matt certainly knows his stuff, clever guy. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnknox8010]

Love the 458 and a really insightful upload chaps, thank you.

[@Plasticjesus504]

I am going V10+ or Huracan. Nothing beats a V10.

[@andywright1634]

Man, that sound on that dyno! Can't say which I'd prefer to buy out of the options without driving them, but on looks and sound - 458 all day.

[@greengreenie55]

Fantastic knowledge and well explained.

[@stevenbates7181]

458 from your option list 😎🤩😊👌

[@alansheard553]

It's big attraction is the fact it was the last NA engine Ferrari did.

[@danielelim8276]

you mean with a v8

[@jong7387]

Cheers from Gilly with the yellow top secret supra.. I asked and you provided a 458 buyers guide.. obviously its a 458 with the triple paint yellow is my option.❤. and if your talking about pornstars... then watch .. "date my pornstar"channel 4 production in 2013.. and guess which one is me. 😂😂😂😂😂 see you soon ricky 👊🏻

R8 straight up. Then 40 000 of mods. Been following for ages but first comment. Keep up the great content. P.s huge bike lover have mt09,r1 wr450. Cheers from Perth Australia. Saturday 29th

[@Zenithh]

This ones a great video, loved it

[@lnfranky]

458 all day no brainer. The ultimate badge with F1 heritage. Lambo heritage is ‘we mainly make tractors’ R8 has same badge as cars driven by Debbie from accounts and Phil the photocopier salesman.

[@NO_COMMENT_710]

Awesome machine 🖤

[@Action9393]

I had to make this decision & got the 458. I solved the wheel issue buy lowering 10mm & getting speciale wheels (as they're a bit wider)... it's amazing! so much better then the car that you service for me but we'll sort that next year!

[@stevethomson9069]

Brilliant one this , love the proper knowledge .

[@sroman5963]

Really good advice nice one 👍

[@AdrianDoggett]

Nice one guys 👍

[@jordonleehopkins6540]

R8 V10 plus

[@zbuga]

458 for me but totally agree on the wheel gap. So 458 novitec lowered for me

[@prebenlohse1684]

Super video, again

[@simonpriestley6912]

For me it would be the 458, such a great looking car.

[@johnrowell942]

Smart and sounds mint. Lol with how much room you have, when seating one of these. Must be a small man thing. 😂😂😂😂😂. If I was going to send my money on in this price range. It would be a Porsche. Look forward to seeing more on what to look out for. It's mad you could spend the same value of the car just on the spec list. Guess that makes it one of one put, then you have to think if you sell it, in the future. would you lose money because of the spec you picked?

[@tdimac]

So you gave up covering the plates on the dyno 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣 Nice vid as always boys 🎉💪🏻

[@richardbennett147]

I agree drove one on a track day aswell as a mercy, DB9 and a 992 was the best handling car by a long way

[@tommyfreckmann6857]

So, the DBS and 992 were better handling?

[@geoffhooke4388]

Thanks Ricky, definitely 458!!!

[@MrRctintin]

The only Ferrari I’ve been lucky enough to drive is the 458 Italia, while visiting the Marinella museum. It blew me away, my first super car drive, first Ferrari, I was in heaven!! So for my £120K, it would 100% be the 458, even more so after this video, knowing I’d not need a breakdown truck on speed dial 😅

[@MikeLloyd-z2s]

I’d have the R8, it’s a practical daily that’s fast as fook! And gorgeous too.

[@chrisduffield2747]

Ferrari 458, or maybe a 911 GT3 991 and goto the max. What an engine

[@armo28]

Have a word dav! 😂 hid the plate outside then showed it on the dyno.

[@jimmcculloch3786]

What a brill run down of the 458, still pref a Lambo tho!!

[@chequeredflagracing]

I spy with my little eye a reg plate on the dyno. Thought you were not showing it😉

[@EvoraGT430]

Definitely the 458. Best badge in the business for a reason.

[@ro63rto]

Without ever having driven a supercar (next year I have a 4 supercar experience day) I would probably choose the R8.

[@clovercompetitions4714]

Original red, black sports seats with black interior acro exhaust, tune it to get it up to the 560bhp it should be, lower the front by20mm, then the most important thing is to tune the gearbox to iron out the 0-10% jerky throttle as your rolling or cruising its horrible. Nick casberger who was tuning my ktm did it in 15 minutes and its transformed the car. Ferrari couldn’t do anything with it apart from a clutch learn which done nothing. Absolutely love it. 🔥

[@robertwiddrington]

Hi, I was trying to explain the twitchy throttle to Ricky and I asked him to remap it on the dyno to try to smooth that out but your comment tells me I should be asking him to tweak the gearbox electronics. Could you let me know what Nick Casberger did to your car please? Thanks, Rob.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Yeah I know Nick well, I think this is clutch engagement. I’ll message Nick mate! 👍

[@robertwiddrington]

@@REPerformanceUK Thanks Ricky, that would be great and as the man said above, will transform the car at slower speeds. Rob.

[@MikeLloyd-z2s]

The chat about noisy brakes is interesting. My old F56 JCW Mini with brembos had noisy brakes around town that shut up when they got worked on the motorway, and my current Q5 55TFSIe sounds like the brakes are F***ed at low speed. I know they are not, but they sound gritty at low speed…

[@n0cturnalgamer]

I bought one and slapped a novitec exhaust on it. it sounds mega

[@666markyboy]

R8 and money in my pocket all day long

[@leemartin2978]

R8 V10 plus for me.

[@domincodoesburg3143]

✌️

[@tobias88-]

Lots of sniffles must be cold that day 🥶 Do like the 458. But for first super car would have to be the Audi and have money in my pocket for maintenances. 😊

[@danielmarshall4587]

Smashing vid......THANK YOU ALL. "speshly" to the keeper of this LAV-LEE-MOW-AH.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Gods honest, my dream car is still Ferrari 458 spider in black over tan with Daytona seats.

[@YoshitakeMertens]

Not gonna lie. I OWN the authentic in that same exact color and I STILL got it wrong! And I even use the bag every single day! Only goes to show how damn good these kislux are visually. Now guessing which is the fake by feeling them both in my hands is another story.

[@chequeredflagracing]

458 for me

[@JoeCurtis82]

Lisa Ann, Ricky your a man of culture like myself 👌🏻

[@REPerformanceUK]

😂😂

[@Chilled_Mackers]

At this money, I'd probably go for a late 80's HF Intergrale or a Merc 190 evo 2. I'm old, I like old.

[@joeglabus7255]

Skoda sleeper for me and money in bank 😊😊

[@Lazerus2008]

Poverty spec Fandangos are the best to get. If anything takes priority over the way it drives and handles then you should get a Lamborghini .

[@StrawCurrent]

R8 V10 for sure

[@bmw.m5]

Would go for the 600LT,

[@Peterbrendanalbert]

So what's the difference between the Michelin and Pirelli tyre? Thanks.

[@kriscowley3241]

Answer to you mate. For 120 bags, I'm afraid I'd have an F430 in Grigio Silverstone with big rims, spaced and lowered (not many other ferarris tickle my pickle lads). Then with the change I'd have a well sorted and supercharged Audi B7 RS4 Avant in Imola Yellow, big boolaz, spaced and lowered with all the bells and whistles for a safe 900/1000bhp. Like that C6 RS6 you done for that fella, the black one on 138k miles. Then with the £1.99 change I'd have an Oreo MacFlurry. Thanks. Haha😂 Edit***i'd just pressed reply button and you mentioned the wheel arch gap on ferraris. I agree. Pinnacle of supercar but they dont get the stance/bodyprofile quite right on some of them.

[@sadaqatbashir3828]

Cali T with some change in the pocket. Same engine same gearbox

[@michaelanderson2689]

Seat belt from passenger seat plugged into drivers side, that just to stop beeping?

[@bouwah85]

I came on here for the car 😊

[@sportdevices]

I a 430 spider and was thinking about upgrading to a 458, however your comment on the R8 Plus has me thinking, so I'm seriously considering keeping the 430 and buying an R8, appreciate you are mega busy but could call for a chat? let me know what you have forsale

[@f35500]

It would be a close toss up between a 458 or a 720 but I think would prob go the 458 as worried to many ways 720 going to go pop ! ( thanks Ricky,) Also prob cheaper to run

[@nathanbamford1379]

The 458 sounds the nuts but I’d go porche cheaper to run less troublesome than the r8

[@LITOLifeintheOcean]

R8 V10 Plus, 10 to 15 bags in your pocket to beastify it. Then the rest on track days. Easy way to burn a bundle. Amazing content as always, Matts not that much of a dick after all.

[@jamesmawdsley7306]

It's a hard choice, but it'd be R8 and cash for me.

[@syko6288]

AMG GTR looks wise .... but after listening to this i think the 458 and some pipes would be the choice

[@simonhughes7382]

Thought it looked good, yeah, I get it, why not.....Then you hear the dyno pull on headphones :DDD

[@davidgerrard8661]

I'll take the 5 valve v8 please

[@GPU-Unboxing]

I owned a triple yellow 458 coupe for five years, huge fun to drive with short gearing and NA engine, chassis brilliant like an M3 for skidding so a lot of fun but at 26,000 my gearbox sprung a leak and needed new casing which was £7500 bill at Ferrari. Own an R8 V8 manual but have driven the V10 Plus and LP610 and the 458 is a far more fun car to drive, 458 proper drivers car fun and engaging whereas I find the R8 and Lambo a bit easy and end up doing daft speeds. Now own a 600 LT Spider and yeah 458 sounds better but the 600 is far more capable on track and roof down the whip cracks sound decent but the 600 has epic steering best of them all and is too fast but enjoying it a lot and a Spider is a must on a 600 for the top exit exhaust.

458 Coupe in Blu Pozzi please

[@robertwiddrington]

I'd wanted a Tour De France Blue 458 but there are only 65 blue 458's out of 1617 total UK RHD 458 Spiders. I had to accept next best in black, where there are a choice of 236. I only ever actually saw one blue Spider for sale and it sold within 15 minutes of being advertised. I still went to see it to check if I liked the colour in person and the dealer said I was the fifth person in that day trying to buy it. Clearly blue is rarely specified from Ferrari but is very sought after in the used market.

[@Tagomago12]

If you could you would have to have one just for the sound.

[@StoatLoxley]

As a Biker It would be a McClaren. They just seem that bit more special.

R8 v10 plus over this, but the 458 is the last of the character and soul Ferraris before turbocharging destroyed that note!

Yeh Tour de France blue looks epic. I know a guy that bought a Speciale in that blue 😍Now that’s rare! It looks incredible in black too 👍👍 For me white is a no no for a Ferrari but that’s just my opinion of course.

[@brianiswrong]

Money aside, i think it depends on were you are in you life and driving history. 458 is the solid bet, scratch that ferrari itch, not really loose any money owning it for a couple of years. Lambo, the trouble with the lambo is the R8 and money to spend on mods . Porsche turbo S , wicked fast,but a touch ' soulless ', like a grown up golf R does everything well except get your inners fizzing when walking up to it. 600lt, hell of a drivers car, but the drive to the track and back (A roads aside) isnt pleasant or make you feel special, just worried about every little noise or crack you hear (or see on the windscreen).
