Default [Photoshoot] Ferrari 430 + 360
One of the guys at the local FCA chapter, Craig, wanted me to take a couple of shots for the cover of the regional FCA directory. The car in question was the black 430 belonging to another member. Craig had recently traded in his 355 for a Grigio Titanio 360 and I asked him to bring it over so that we take some pictures of his car same time.

We took the pictures at a magnificent house in River Oaks.

2005 Ferrari 430
This car is black/black with tubis, CC brakes, F1 tranny. It has been tracked often. I think the black color suits the 430 the best. LOUD exhaust!







The 430 owners - she was responsible for speccing out the car - she did an awesome job 8)


Ferrari 360 F1
Spotless car. Low miles. Standard exhaust/brakes. Has the challenge grill and wheels - the wheels really look good against the grey paint.






Our wonderful hosts - the owner of this magnificent mansion with tons of nice art inside.

Very cool shots Sameer. I love black for the F430 too, so sexy! Nice specs on it, did you make any vids?

The 360 looks good in Grey with the CS wheels and grill, its a fine mix that!

Fav pic, the 430 in front of the Mansion!

Nice hosts and Im curious about the art, did he tell anything about it?

Dani - He loved his 355. It was a yellow 1997 model with 6sp manual. Recently he had some nerve problem in his hand/arm and it hurting him when shifting gears. Hence he was looking for a F1 transmission. The 360 F1 is lot more sophisticated than the 355 F1 which was the first iteration of the F1 tranny. Hence the purchase.

RC - I haven't seen your video clip (am at work now) but I am sure that is the car. He also has a black C6 Z06 that he tracks occasionally at MSR. Maybe you have seen this car too?

TG NL - They have lot of antiques and stuff that is highly rated by Christies. It looked good to me but I am really clueless about art.

Looking at the cars and the Mansion they have great taste. Wouldn't surprise me if he had some stuff of famous artists since it highly rated by christies :shock:

Thanks for the info.

I needed to carry a ladder for the overhead shots and I couldn't fit it in the Ferrari of course.

next to the F430, the 360 looks old (weird because they basically have the same shape). regardless, great pics :shock:

Yes I think I have seen the Z06 out there as well, as he has a particularly aggressive line he follows - you do know that at least 32 people have permanently left this thread never to return because he has a Chevy parked near his F-Car
