It's incredible that we can even talk about a race like this.
Drag racing has never been Ferrari's forte (obviously) but it means something to them (Launch Control) and they're working hard on it.
A lot of time has passed between the 427 and the 458.
Not bad for little British roadster with an American V8, originally from a sedan.
I know there's been advancements in the Cobra's drivetrain but I'll betcha there's more R&D in that 458's transmission than all of the Cobra's history.
Yea us.
