MotorCyclist magazine just ran a 458 Italia vs. a Ducati 1198S and the 458 ran 11.1 @ 125, with Motor Trend professional test driver. They said that on one end of the track they got "runaway wheelspin" so they ran the 1/4 the other direction...(road coarse so they could do that)
so much for launch control? what's that about.
Makes me want to fly to Vegas for the 25th of Feb! Hope everyone ends up safe.
