Put a winking smiley face there because teh 458 driver is not very good. How do I know? Because I'm not very good.
For Atom fanatics it might still be fun to see:

I like the different camera perspective, seeing the Atom from the 458's viewpoint

What a fantastic sound the 458 makes. I had a ride in one a few weeks back and the down shift blip is just, wow! If only my 245 could make that noise it would be perfect!

I love the 458. Going out in one made me realise pursuing my dream of a MP4-12C was a mistake !

The 458 should have monstered the banked section.

lovely sound - nearly as nice as a V10 imo. dont like the front end, its still not grown on me - i like the 430
& that 3 exhausts - looks like something the A-Team knocked up in a barn.

Having played with both I can grudgingly confirm that the 430 isn't as good a car as the 458.

yeah I've driven AutoClub Speedway a bunch of times in my little stock Z4M Coupe and I turn into turn #1 (the big banked turn) at ~148MPH so seeing this guy peak at around 135 and then idle in there at 105MPH every time is a bit sad.. but then again kudos to him for buying a 458 and then taking it to the track! So sad to see them only ever driving around Beverly Hills.
