    the hairdresser spec cars must be coming good Scott, they got FTD in Tassie up against a 355CH (admittedly yellafella can't drive, but hey!) and he was on street tyres !!

    Have I read somewhere that the 360/430 were originally designed as blowdry cars and they just added the roof for the berlinettas ?

    before the value of my car drops another $50k...that's the ONLY reason.

    AHG was seconds slower than the times i get, and he's no slouch. that was with pirelli corsas too, i think.

    I think they float that idea for marketing from time to time. Read a test on the Gaylambo spider vs the 430 spider today. They reckoned the 430 had a lot of flex relative to the coupe version. Must say the Gaylambo looks beautiful as a spider. Much nicer than the 430 which just looks..........odd

    if that was the Evo mag then you're getting soft Scott , the 430 is miles better looking, the arse on the Gay-one is too Japanesey, mr2ish

    Did you notice how low the profile is on the Gay-one ?

    i'm not a huge fan of either, æsthetically speaking, i mean they look too good and menacing with their tops on, taking it off makes them look soft and cuddly... it removes their teeth. haven't seen the G in the flesh yet so final judgement is reserved, but that to me loses *a lot* more in the conversion than the F430 does. the murci is still king of the modern roadsters, they got that one right... well, maybe not functionally but hey :eek:

    oh, saw a dark blue 550 / 575 on hutt/wakefield this morning... looks classy, but too stealth for my liking. :cool:

    I like the Gallardo more than the 430 as a coupe too. It was the Evo article from a few months back as well. Personal taste I guess.

    hmm....id always buy a Ferrari

    but styling wise, F355 was the peak in my opinion...and 360/430 havent been able to capture me in the same way...

    Listen here you 4 eyed lesbian hore ( we still on for a drink at Indy next week?) Simons plain has 2 long straights and a couple of corners so tyres don't really count for much plus, how much horse power does a 430 have over a 355? That track is all about grunt!!!!!!!!!!!! So he beat me by 1sec with how much more hp?

    a V8 supercar has 200BHP more than a 360 GT... yet lap times at Simmons are virtually identical because the Ferrari can stop and turn and put its power down.
