    hi

    i already own a 2007 white f430 novitec.
    it has a
    bi compressor engine - 650 hp
    novitec gullwing doors
    novitec rear wing
    novitec black rims
    novitec interior.


    there is another ferrari f430
    2008 - RED
    with novitec gullwing doors
    novitec wing
    novitec black rims
    novitec interor
    but the engine is not modified. No bicompressor, only exhausts.


    what do u guys think what should i go for.
    should i stay with my white one. somehow i feel that a ferrari which is not red is incomplete (could be wrong , thats just me)

    the red is just like any normal ferrari with a exhausts on.

    the one i own is a bit more exclusive, since it has a bicompressor engine.

    A bicompressor engine can mean a bad thing since it "MAY" be not as reliable a a standard one with exhausts (the red 2008)


    please offer your input
    below is the white i already own
    and i will put pics of the red, which still did not arrive.

    Stay with the white, in my mind it is the ultimate color of a Ferrari.

    white actually fits much better along side black.
    white body , black stripes, rims, and tail lights.

    The black stripes, rims, and tail lights doesnt stand out with the Red ferrari

    still not sure though

    It also looks like a mix breed of Lambo and Ferrari. But it looks fantastic, especially the white.

    Since you are already addicted to the extra horse power, there is no way for you to go back to the stock set up. Sorry! However, exterior color plays a huge rule, you definitely need to sacrifice one in between. Good luck!

    I say take off the stripe on the white one and put a scud stripe or just leave it off...thats my opinion. Love the interior of the white one.

    Let me get this straight, after spending ~ $350K for the car and mods, you need help deciding if you should keep it? hmmm....

    I don't mean to doubt, but those look like pictures from a dealership. Not hard to just copy and paste from anywhere on the web.

    Got any pics of the car in a more "homely" setting?

    He might be in fructuate situation. In that case, I'll pick white car, just as he said more exclusive, more power,....., etc.

    No reason to swap for less.

    First of all, I don't think somebody who pays that much more for a bi-compressor option ( **51,260 Euro*** ) cares so less to trade it ( a 217 mph car )for a standard 430 with what is for the most part a body kit.
    .............why don't you just paint the thing! IF you went through this much of an outfitting process with the white one to completely re-do the car, why would you throw it all to the wind on some advice from a forum? And I don't get the dealership photos thing, or the fact that its completely tagless.
