Ferrari Mailing List: 458 Italia sighting!

        Saw my first 458 Italia in person today.  I was cruising through 

the Capital Hill area of Seattle when a black 458 came towards me.

        I only got a brief look, but in black she looked SINISTER.  I'm 

talking sucking-up-Prius's-and-spitting-them-out-just-for-fun EVIL.

        Driver wasn't on the throttle very much but the exhaust note had a 

sharp bark to it that to me says, "I mean business. Get out of my way. 

Now".  Some of the later-model Ferraris have a stock exhaust note that is a 

bit too refined (aka weeny).  A stock 360 sounds so-so, but the 360 

Challenge Scuderia has that bark that a Ferrari should have.
