F430 0-60 in 3.5 from Car and Driver magazine
I saw this on SC.net. I don't know if I should post this in the Scans Section or here, but decided to post here since it's Ferrari related.
Car and Driver tested the new F430 and got some amazing results.
0-60 in 3.5
1/4 mile in 11.7@123 mph

It's ok here, we would have accepted it both ways I suppose 
And since the scans are pretty small, using the IMG tags isn't a problem

Gosh sounds like perfection. Thanks for the scan Mayer, it raises the question for Ferrari 'where to now?' Is there any rumours on a Challenge 430?

The accelleration is crazy compared to what ferrari and the magazine were suspecting it to do. They though 4.0 sec flat and low 12's at best in the 1/4 mile, but 3.5 and 11.7 is amazing for the power this car has. 360 CS didn't even has those times. Maybe the weather was just perfect, i dunno.

Dayum! Even if you deduct a few tenths to compensate for the downward slope of the track that is really fast times recorded for the F430.
Pretty big step up from the 360 CS. I thought with the extra weight it would not corner as well as the CS...
