to me .. it just shows how important even an inch can be. The real Ferrari is just amazing, beautiful, fantastic. It "fits" and it makes the car one of the most beautiful Ferraris out there (in my opinion).
Now look at the DNA. From the front, even certain angled side shots, it looks the same. But then you see a real side shot, an other angles, and you see it is off. And it makes a HUGE difference! All of a sudden the beautiful lines of the original car are gone. Even someone who does not know the real 458 will notice some sort of miss-proportion. I don't want to take away from the quality of the parts, or the easy built it apparently has. But it is a fact - because of it the car loses the great proportions that make the real one a beauty. The DNA just looks a little awkward (to me) and I would rather buy an older Porsche 911 or Mercedes SL and drive a real car than having an off-looking replica. But that's just me ...
