THE 430 Scuderia

My CS mirror fell off after a hard day at the track. The screw came loose. It is very very light and shaky if not attended to at some interval, it could fall down. I think F wanted to fix this as well, using a much stabler atachment to negate shaking.

 

Yep, agree. (For once. ) They look sweet.

Lol!!

 

White is very cool, maybe with black stripes.

 

That's the dry weight - a seemingly increasingly common stat for manufacturers to use for new cars, a bit misleading really.

The wet weight with all fluids should be nearer 1330/1350kgs. In saying that, 360CS's that have been independently weighed, have been significantly more than the factory figs so not sure how much faith can be placed in the numbers.

 

Heya mate. Long time no talk.
Hope all has been well for you.

 

Didnt you know Ferrari has their own "custom" set of scales?
Not available anywhere else in the world, except in their factory.

 

Missed you all .

All is well with me, thanks for asking .
I've been travelling the last two weeks and this last week I was out at sea cruising with friends and doing some diving.

 

On your awesome yatch!!
Are you going to place your order for a 430 Scuderia?
Or will you bide your time for now?

 

. The invitation still stands.

I was just thinking about it. I may actually just supercharge my current F430...636hp and wait for the replacement.

 

Due to the politics of the airbag waiver in the US, this is the expected statement. ie: it's another variation rather than a revised car with a high percentage of new parts. I am anxiously awaiting the dealer numbers to see if they are limited or not.

I am wondering how they will get this car into the US though. The challenge grill was recently removed as an option due to non-compliance to crash standards (I think I read that somewhere on FChat). The new rear bumper is more mesh than fiberglass and it is presented with a challenge grill. The US model could be quite different.

 

Wow, that looks good. I wonder can you order one without gold rims? not my favourite, but it will probably grow on me.

 

we all should be so lucky

 

Has anyone been to one of these events before?
Is it worth me making the trip?

 

yeh! and how much are they going fleece, sorry charge for the privilege

 

I just talked to my dealer..and he said the same thing too

 

loose the stripe and that's my car
will the factory paint wheel colour options? anyone had wheels painted in the past how much did they charge.

 

I was
at the so called "secret introduction " , (with a very limited number of people) of the 430 at 20/7/2004
it was then with Schumacher/Barrichello ....
It was worth it, ... nice dinner on the Fiorano track, evening visit to the factory, (but not the regular way) ......

I will be there again for sure !!

 

1350kg is the kerb weight.

 

Jim...


JIM.....come on spit it out , what else do you know...

 

The front grill openings look very similar to those of the Lamborghini Murcielago. Not particularly original.

 

Like it better without the stripe. too boy racer for my tastes.

The red works best for me.

Looks like it's moving just sitting there.

Love it.

 

I would like to see blk/blk/blk with no stripe.

 

Awesome!!

 

Yup, but I understand it is "by invitation only"

 

There will be a choice of 4 colours for the wheels:

The gold colour in the pictures

The usual alloy colour

Black

White
