The Official F430 Thread

[SFDMALEX]

It seems like there is a lot of interest in Ferraris upcoming road car that many threads regarding the F430 started to appear on JW. It is quite confusing when you have 1000 threads about one car, and some threads feature one or two new pictures so I decided that from now on all of the info regarding the F430 should be posted in one thread since there are no sub-topic sections yet. If what you are posting is big please PM me before so it could be made into a regular thread. But for now on please post everything F430 in here.
















The following 5 pics are taken by Mick Andriesse aka 8valve of Ferrarichat.com at the factory rear entrance

Good move I'd say you could put at least the media pics and the Nurburgring unveiling ones in the first post

edit - did it for you, at least a some of them

[SFDMALEX]

Thanks TT, Ill work on it saturday I want to move all the major stuff posted so far in that first post.

[TT]

Yes, good idea again! And just lock or move to the mods section new topics from ppl unable to read

[TT]

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

[mindgam3]

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

[bmagni]

i guess more people are liking it now, we were al sceptic when the pre pictureas and press pics were released... i really like it

[mindgam3]

"all sceptic"?

I certainly wasn't

[bmagni]

ok "some were sceptic" happy ????

[dons5]

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.

[dons5]

it sounds like an Enzo 355 and 360 in one lol

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...

Edit:
F430 @ Monza
