BMW recovers impressively I might add!

Its because of its normal aspiration, and throttle response. The throttle in a 458 is like switch, that reacts to the slightest of pressure, its ready absolutely all the time. Even the M5 with 4 wd, cannot match the throttle response of a normally aspirated Ferrari V8. Once rolling though, the torque in the new M5 is killer, it just piles on the speed.
