Great videos. The new 458 is a stunning car. That said, if pure performance numbers are your thing, the new 2010 911 Turbo may actually have the edge.
No question the 458 is the more desirable car, but I think the new 911 Turbo may actually be just a little quicker in a "real-world" head to head.

The 458 is quicker once you get past 60mph,
0-124mph or 0-200kph:
458 - 10.4 sec
new 911 turbo - 11.8 sec
(ZR-1 is quicker than both)
I am still a GT3 guy, when talking Porsche. Porsche continues to make an imperfect design...perfect. They did a fantastic job with the next-gen Turbo.
