8. The 488 GTB looks and sounds better than the 458 because turbo and classic-ish cues respectively.

9. The 12C looks better than the 650S.

10. When it comes to C1 Corvettes, dual is better than quad headlamps.

11. Ecoboost 4s can be made to sound good with the right choice of exhaust, though it doesn’t happen often. I’d provide examples but I’m at work.

1. Agreed

2. I’m kind of indifferent, the 570 looks way better than both.

8. I don’t even know which one is which, and couldn’t tell them appart if shown individually
9. I agree the 650 headlight may be different, but not in a good way
10. The 1958-1960 Corvettes were the most beautiful gift GM ever gave the world. You are wrong
11. Many engines can sound good, and a well tuned exhaust will always be better than speaker-delivered exhaust sound in the cabin

When Formula Ford UK ran the Ecoboost engines in 2012 they made a pretty awesome sound. It’s impossible to find any video but they made a really cook popping sound entering corners.

Quad headlight Corvettes are the bestest!

i thought it was a pretty standard oppinion that the 12c looks better than the 650

8. Yes, but 430 is bae

9. Definitely, the new ones are too cartoonish and look like cute bugs

10. I’ve seriously thought about this for years and still can’t decide. I think I lean to dual lights because of True Lies

11. Sure . . . ????

I have no opinion on the sound of Ecoboost 4 cylinders, and I prefer the 650S over the 12C.

4. But why bother?

Nope, 458 has a much cleaner design than the 488, and high revving NA noises > muted turbo noises

Yes, and I also think the 570GT is the best looking McLaren yet

Yes

Yes

8. Lol, fair enough

9. Agreed

10. Agree to disagree, but the ‘58-60 Vettes are still beautiful and a great example of a corporate design done right

11. Absolutely

8. Don’t get me started on the lovely 430 Scud.

9. Too alien buggy for me.

10. True Lies?

1. I don’t know. They just do nothing for me. They just don’t catch my attention. Like a Camry

4. I was giving you a hard time

The 458's party trick was definitely the 9000 rpm redline. Aside from that, it’s basically the same engine as the F430. It does not sound particularly pleasant at low RPM, just a buzzy pair of inline-4s compensating for each other.

What these cars need is an exhaust that generates the second harmonic frequency, like the 360 and F355 did. I believe Novitec and some others have done it for the 458.

10. False. The only good-looking C1 Corvettes are ‘61 and ‘62. Quad headlights is the only way to go.

Source: dad had a ‘62. Clearly my opinion is correct and all others can GTFAC.

And where is this ‘62?

He sold it many, many years ago.

It wasn’t his smartest move.

When he was still alive (died in ‘92) I’d show him ads in the DuPont Registry and he’d weep at the values shown.

The 458 sounds miles better than the 488.

C1 quad headlights with ‘63 tail was the best C1.

(1961-1962 only)
