FOrd GT most definitely

On paper[visually] the F430 looks much better vs the 458 to me. But that could all change once I see the 458 in person

Meh. How many did they actually make and sell to customers. I'll grant, I think it actually holds the official Guiness record for fastest production car (top speed), but I'm not sure and way too lazy to check.

Guinness World RecordsTM verified today that Shelby SuperCars’ (SSC) Ultimate Aero is officially the "Fastest Production Car" in the world. This is the first time the production speed record title has been held by a United States auto manufacturer since the Ford GT40 claimed the record in 1967. Guinness’ strict testing procedure required the car to drive down the course, turn around, and make a second pass in the opposite direction within one hour. The vehicle’s official "top speed" was then calculated by averaging the top speeds of each pass in order to negate any favorable road or weather conditions. Driver Chuck Bigelow, 71, drove SSC’s Ultimate Aero on a stretch of highway 221, clocking 414.31 kph (257.44 mph) on the first pass and 410.24 kph (254.91 mph) on the second pass to yield an official record speed of 412.28 kph (256.18 mph). From data presented by Dewetron’s world-renowned data acquisition system, Guinness officials verified the official speed to be .52 kph (.32 mph) faster than SSC had originally noted. This breaks the current official record held by the Koenigsegg CCR at 388 kph by 24.28 kph (15.09 mph) and the Bugatti Veyron's unofficial speed of 408.47 kph by 5.84 kph (3.63 mph).

Wow, 3mph faster than the Veyron. I'll bet the guys at Shelby had their butt cheeks clenched when they were shooting the car with a radar.

The SSC is far from a production car in comparison to the Veyron. Plus who would really do 240+ in that car... you'd feel like you were going to die... and you likely would

Side note. The world record for speeding ticket is 240~ in a Koenigsegg in Texas.
