My Ferrari F430 VS My 458 Italia **ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN**

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2019
  • Before my F430 sells, I wanted to take the opportunity to drive the F430 and immediately drive the 458 to see just how much different and the same they are. Since I currently own both the Ferrari 458 and Ferrari F430, I wanted to use this time to give you my perspective as an owner.
    While the F430 is a remarkable and very capable car, it does have some older technology such as the F1 transmission that can make it a bit lurchy at slow speeds, and the shifting is very violent. But it's performance it outstanding and it is one hell of a car. You can find them currently below $100K easily making it perhaps the best deal on the used supercar market.
    The 458 Italia is just in an entirely new class. It's performance is simply outstanding, the shifting is lightning fast and it does not disappoint in any way. The big question is, is the 458 worth the 50% more in cost over the F430? I answer that question along with some others in this video.

    I just checked out the F430 and 458 on the market as I wanted to buy my first Ferrari. I test drove both of them, and decided for the F430 in the end. The main reason is what you call rawness, I wanted an analogue, harsh, sporty and hard car. The F430 does that so much better than the 458. If you like the tech, refinement and comfort better, the 458 is the choice. Personally I also like the design of the F430 a bit better, as it looks more classy to me. But that is very subjective.

    • @kevinburke6743
      @kevinburke6743 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Good choice, the F430 is sublime. I had the Spider for a time(2years) the best car I ever owned. A brilliant Frank Stephenson design(check him out.) The last of the great V8's. The rest were merely good. you are right about raw, this was so raw a good vet would revive it. Why did I sell? The dealer group I bought from asked me if I'd consider selling it! Then they offered me (After inspection) £10K more than I'd paid for it. Goodbye Fezza, hello Lambo.

      @MoosePolo 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      If you like refinement and tech get a 488 or F8. The 458 is the best naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari has ever produced hands down. Probably one of the best all time. It’s the perfect mix of the old analogue and the new digital. Plus the 458 is the final naturally aspirated V8 model they ever made so it’ll hold value better. I really wish I got the speciale when I had the chance

      I had a gray 2005 F430 which had had a bit of a hard life by the time I bought it - in hindsight it wouldn't have been one that an official Ferrari dealer would have sold. I left the mufflers stock but installed a set of headers to replace the problematic exhaust manifold - it was easily the loudest car in the city. Unbelievable! I've had a lot of cars, but it's the only one my friends were actually scared to ride in. It was brutal. I miss it - I traded it on a California which the wife liked a hell of a lot more, and was nice in different ways, but this video made me a bit sad.

    WOW weird synchronicity!; while in the video while you were raving how much better the 458 was over the 430, the Top Gear episode flashed through my mind, just seconds before you referenced it. I didnt know you would mention it just then. Ill take that as a sign im watching the right channel.
    Im still getting that 355 GTS though lol but the 458 is on the dream car list too.
    Great Video!

  • @VAF84
    @VAF84 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Dan, glad you made this comparison video. Sure to get a lot of views on this one.
    The video gets into some of the questions I've grappled with. I have the F430 with the F1, and I've driven my buddies 458, but it's great to see this side by side comparison. As a manual oriented car driver, I went with the F1 because I felt it was a way to get the benefits of both worlds. From a value stand point, I also viewed swapping a clutch more economical than dealing with a DCT transmission, and Ferrari's move towards a more modern car with increased electronics. I found that I don't really notice any "lurching" however, I do miss having sensors and a reverse camera. That said, backing up or crawling up an incline sucks. I personally like the kick and more visceral experience of the F430. However, from the cabin, the 458 is unreal during heavy acceleration. It feels and sounds like an F1 car. Slight downside is the 458 is so fast, that you can't enjoy those upper band runs as much on regular roads. Surgical is the right word to use for the 458; at least it's the first word that sprung to my mind when driving it.
    The way I see it is; if you're a value oriented, purchasing for the long term and don't mind DIY work I'd hands down go with the F430. It's analog, a blast to drive, and as reliable as you can get for the end of the "classic" Fcars. On the other hand, I find the 458 more attractive, and a car that I wouldn't worry about putting 100k miles on.
    My conclusion: I guess it's true what they say on the FerrariChat boards, "always buy the best Ferrari you can afford".

    • @normalguysupercar
      @normalguysupercar  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      So very true. Either way you won't be disappointed so it really doesn't matter much... But in the end, I have to say I like the 458 just a little bit more.

    Best comparison I've seen yet. You hit all the things someone like me (F430 owner) wants to know. The front shark nose heritage of the 430 and the ass end...and engine bay are best on the 430. But the 458 modern interior and engine are hard to ignore. Thanks.

    • @normalguysupercar
      @normalguysupercar  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, looks are subjective and they both look great so it's hard to really say which is better there. But there are just a few things making the 458 just that much better.

    Saw that big smile as you were getting the F430 up to speed. "Sound never gets old!" For those who have not driven either car you must put this on your bucket list. Xtreme Experience is a great way to take one around the track (3-4 laps), like I did back in 2013.

    After watching your channel for years I bought an F430 Spyder today, in the manual. I did kinda want a 458 Spyder in Fuoco but, even over the manual 458, the difference was £70k!
    I am sure I will love every moment of the F430. AS my first Ferrari I am so excited. Picking it up on Thursday and spending every hour revisiting F430 content and checking out the forums for known issues.
    Had a new clutch and headers in the last 3500 miles so might be good for a while and will then go aftermarket on the headers and maybe a bit more but not as far as you went! :)
    Cheers and thanks for the inspiration!

I have love in my heart for both, but I agree, once I drove my 458 home it all became apparent too me how much change and improvements were made from the f430 too the 458. I noticed the duel clutch immediately, it was so fast and smooth. The power change was awesome too. Then the “modernized” improvements. Then I took delivery of my 2018 488 spider and got too notice those changes too:-) not boasting, just sharing some humble gratefulness.

      I was sort of contemplating the same as you, obviously hard to compare the two especially V12 over V8 but there are a few things I don't like about the 599 and that is the hood length, you don't sit on top of the road like in the f430, secondly the looks, analogue gages. Even though i have never driven the 599, Ive tested the AMG GTS and it felt like I was simply pushing a bonnet, couldnt see where the car ended (their difference is but a few inches). Ive now decided to go for the f430, plenty of power, V8, upgrade the exhaust perhaps to a Tubi, and when it comes to £€$, soft spot. Recent article written in the UK:

    Another great detailed analysis on these two cars. It goes to show Ferrari engineers really do know what they're doing. With US manufacturers, sometimes you wonder if the engineers know what they're doing or they're stifled by the bean counters and what the public buys is the compromised abortion end result. Ferrari does not compromise.
    @22:37 did you say Ferrari has a monitor for the brake temperatures? Infrared sensor? If they do, that would be pretty amazing as there isn't another manufacturer that does this!!

    Great video. The 458 seems like the winner to me. You really need a new exhaust on the 458 though, the 430 with that aftermarket exhaust sounded insane!

    I drove the 458 on track recently with all the stuff turned off, it was amazing, never driven a car so connected to your soul, I the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio, for me its like the 4d version :D
    I am actually looking to buy a 458 at the moment, realistically the 430 is more in reach, but it is increasingly feeling worth the stretch to the 458 :)
    Thanks for the vid.

    I live in a condo that has community parking. I'm currently shopping for a supercar. I would love a Ferrari but I just cant see living with a Ferrari without a garage. I decided to go with the more practical 2015 Porsche 991 Turbo. My next car was going to be a 430 just for the sheer value but after watching this video I have decided to wait 2-3 years and buy a 458. Great content!

  • @christv6017
    @christv6017 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    looks are subjective. For me its 430 from most angles. I love the rawness of the 430 compared to 458/488. I just sold my amazing McLaren 720S. Faster than any Ferrari, gorgeous, dependable, but poor sound and I proved to myself that for me at least, a car can be too modern and powerful. I may add a 458 to my 430.
    BTW: I also have a 1994 348 Street Challenge car and my admiration for it grows every year. The car is "carved out of granite". It never breaks! Nothing! Pulled the motor for a belt change a few years ago. The belts were perfect. Decided to change the clutch while everything was apart. The clutch was perfect - no need. Rebuild the water pump? No need. It was prefect too. Ended up just doing the belts. The 320hsp motor is perfect for a street car and it looks good. After 24 years of ownership I cant say enough about it.

    • @normalguysupercar
      @normalguysupercar  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's funny you mention the 348 because they get such a bad reputation, but I think that's because so many people neglect them. When taken care of they are solid cars.

    Tough choice, I love the look of the 458 of course, but I’m also a fan of the driving feeling. As much as I love the 458 I think I’d go 430…. Although I’d have to give ecah a test drive. Really curious to see a possible 430 vs Gallardo review if possible?

    For me the best modern ferrari ever though is the 430 Scuderia. It would make both the F430 and 458 look like everyday cars, because it is much more brutal.

    Hey Dan, you mentioned that you don't want to reverse up a hill in a f430 due to the clutch slip -- is that a problem for a small distance such as a small driveway up to a garage? I normally back up park my car into my garage to avoid any bumper -> driveway scrapes and wonder if that would be a problem if I got a f430 in the future

  • @justpassingthrough3166

    I will be inheriting an F430 and a F360. Although how I will be inheriting them will be the most painful process I will ever endure (upon the death of my father) and I don't know if its something I'm truly ready to go through.
    Channels like these are invaluable because while I am comfortable financially, I have my normal routine with how I save and spend my money and these Ferraris will obviously change that. This channel helps me prepare mentally and learn what I can do myself amd what I can't.
    I have rebuilt rear ends, even did the backlash measurements and I've replaced head gaskets and rebuilt heads so I have a little shade tree experience.
    Overall these cars I will be inheriting are the most important possessions owned by the most the biggest role model in my life and I just hope I can keep these cars just the way he kept them which is clean, shiny, maintained, gassed up, and ready for the track.
    I'm a diesel and off roading guy. I have Powerstrokes, Cummins, and Duramaxes. These cars will be a complete 180 from what I am used to.
    I'm in the process now of looking for a relatively cheap metal building to put up behind my house for storage of these cars.

    Put an exhaust (Fi or Novitec) on the 458 spider and a few carbon fibre accents, wheels and springs to set the stance.
    Superior and better looking than any 430. Although for pure analog and raw thrills a 430 scud is a nice option.

    Excellent video and well enjoyed. However, one thing puzzles me. The 458 is a V8 so I'd be interested to know how they channel 8 cylinders into 3 exhaust pipes. 2 or 4 I can understand, but 3 ? Explaination pls. :-))

    • @normalguysupercar
      @normalguysupercar  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's actually 4. What you see aren't the actual pipes, just tips. The center actually has 2 half circle pipes in it that come of the mufflers for when the valves are closed.

Now I have a 430 Scuderia and it si a completely different experience: raw, pure driving experience at it's bvest, every time I sit in this car I have teh Impression to be on a track! For me, the 458 is a fantastic car, but mor "street car Feeling", and the 430 Scuderia is just raw "track car Feeling"...it depends on what you want, and what other cars you have...and please note that I'm talking abeout hte 430 Scuderia and NOT the F430! That is a whole different pair of shoes...!
