Just thought I would share this moment with you guys,
Was on my way back from Malaga airport, got up to the Banus turn off and a amazing black 458 comes up my rear I could see a middle aged guy with an absolute sort next to him flashes me to move over so I did,, this stunning chick then looks at me and smiles as to say goodby so we just both planted our right foot, well I thought it was going to be close,
She just pulled away from them effortlessly , I was really giggling to myself like a big girls blouse so slowed to let him catch up for another go, well kindly he did and of course made sure he had selected the right gear, and off we went again, and again I just left him for dust I was shocked it was so easy.
Well his girlfriend was still smiling but he wasn't

Thought you guys would enjoy that, thing is it's a dual carriageway with a 110 kmh speed limit with lots of fast bends, it's the main coastal road up towards Estepona some of you guys will know it,
when I managed to look down, the car was still pulling like a train, the speedo said 160mph, I was to busy watching him falling back in the mirror and the road to notice how quick we hit that speed cars were comin up so fast and on this crazy road you have entry onto the road from side junctions where cars a pulling out from standstill so the inside is a no no and extreme caution when a car overtaking pulls in front of you at 80kmh
so maybe the outcome would not of been so great had he not had his girlfriend with him, all the screaming must of ruined his concentration,
mind you my mate was none to happy we me he was screaming too.
Well. M and D at Q branch did a fine job, should be able to bring her home this time

Craig, what power are you running? I'd be surprised if a stock M400 could pull away from a 458 so you must have something special in there?
Hi MarkWell I really hope so, it's taken 16 months to finally get her to perform and handle the way I wanted, just a couple more tweaks and some new tyres when I can find some, she will finally be there.

You shouldn't be too surprised, the Ferarri has 378 bhp per tonne, a stock M400 is roughly the same if you consider 400 of the claimed bhp. (the vast majority of M400's were nearer 400 than 425).So you're down to driver, electronic aids, gearbox etc, to give the Ferrari the edge.
In this case it should have been / was a formality

You are right, it really was a formality, tbh I knew I would be quicker but thought it would be close, it wasn't , he wouldn't come anywhere near me after, even when I slowed to 60 kmh just to give him the thumbs up as the 458 looked something special , think it was on Swiss plates, he did not take it well getting his butt kicked by a Brit
