    Well done!!! It seems we get a lot of questions from the Porsche crowd that are thinking of switching to Ferrari. I am sure they would be interested to get your feedback once you have a month or so to live with the 430. Enjoy your new ride.

    Congradulations and welcome to this chatroom. Myself and my buddy friends often drive and share our experiences and opinions about our F430s 3 pedals and Porsche GT3s... They are all fantastic driving machines and great in different ways. Love them all...

    Enjoy in good health...

    I have owned two 911s. My plan was to get a turbo cab next. That was until I stumbled upon a C & C across the street from my office one Saturday morning.

    There were a sea of red Ferraris. I skipped over the turbo.

    Congrats and welcome.

    Quick Question, how many of you guys use the battery charger? Should i use it all the time or only for if I don't use the car for an extended period?

    I use my battery tender if I'm not going to he driving it for 4 or 5 days or longer. I keep it on all the time in the winter months here in the northeast.
