Added some more stuff to the first post, included the small video hosted on a free webspace.. the strange thing is that, if I download it I get a .zip.htm extension.. you probably need to change that, but it takes a sec

it looks like its gonna sound awesome as well going by the 430 unveiling vid. It sounds like it has a much more rumbly idle than the 360 and although it didnt go up the revs much i think this one is gonna be much more of a screamer than the 360 when it opens up too. Cant wait for some on road/track vids

of course its gonna be a screamer but 360 was defenetly a screamer too especially with capristo stage 3 exhaust or challenege or whatever

The F430's definately grown on me in general, but I'm sooo anxious to see how, if at all, Ferrari's changed it's driving "philosophy". It seems like they made a move to an Enzo or Stradale type style, and even the exhaust sound from that clip agrees with that. It sounds nothing like a 355 or stock 360 and much more like a CS or Enzo.

Damn I love this car!!!!!!!!
IMO, the best combo for this car is Red/Tan, daytona styled seats, CC brakes w/ red callipers, the new rims (not the CS ones), Scuderia shields.... and I can't believe it... F1 transmission. I think this car is too modern for it to be a normal manual. For instance, the 575 is PERFECT in a manual, but I'm not so sure about the 430...
