Best purchase you've ever made...

One of those big dust brushes to gently wipe the dust off the car.

I need to get one of these as my 430 is black.

First cheap mods, lower car 22 mm all around and 15 mm spacers.
Capristo remote exhaust valves

Want CF air boxes, Scud bumper

 

Valentine One -- best return on investment ever!

(The Devil demanded I trade my soul for the woman in my life, but I'm guessing that "transaction" doesn't qualify.)

 

I wouldn't get one of those dust busters if I were you, especially on a black car. Very good way to get spider webs, regardless of what people say.

 

V1, most definitely.

And the red Ferrari seat covers. I have seen some nasty looking bolsters from wear and tear and mine still look like new. At shows I take them off but when driving they stay on. It also helps when other people enter the car that don't realize how soft the leather is.

I have an extra set if you are interested.

 

So... you drive with the seat covers on, so they don't look bad from wear and tear? But when do you see them if they're always covered? Confused.

 

Sounds like he only gets to see them during shows. Pretty extreme! Necessary though if you really want your seats to stay pristine and not have to fix them later on down the road....

 

The only time I see them is when I clean them and when the covers are off for a concours. Many pairs of pants I wear have stupid buttons and buckles along the belt loops that would otherwise scratch and possibly tear the leather. They have saved me a number of times. If you saw my seats you would understand the benefit of having the covers. They literally look brand new. If they were black I probably wouldn't care much. But I have seen a fair number of beige ones that look very worn.

 

Yep. You don't really see them when you drive anyway. I mean, you do sit on it

 

Oh yeah, back to the original topic. Small: iPod cable attached to back of radio head unit. I don't listen to it all that often, since usually when I'm able to drive this car I want to be focused on that task and enjoying the engine sounds. But I found that there are times when I want to listen to music and when I do: (a) radio-quality music is an oxymoron; and (b) CDs skip too much, at least in my car. Solution is a flash drive iPod.

Large: Tubi and RE-11s. The stock exhaust is fine but just too quiet for me. The RE-11s are the closest things to track tires you can run on the street. And they're relatively quiet (I don't want road/tire noise to drown out my Tubi!) and ride decently, too.

 

Best purchase you can make for your new Ferrari is to buy another exotic to keep it company.

 

Congratulations on the car!

I agree with a couple of the above posts. Get the Valentine 1, not because you'll be speeding but because it's a great investment to have with any vehicle. I don't know how I would do my cross country drive without it.

Make sure to post pics

 

I 'm hearing a lot of positives comments regarding the V1. I was thinking of getting one or the 8500xi...

Any particular biases towards one or the other? From reviews I've read, it seems you can't go wrong with either? However, real world, I've seen a lot more positive comments regarding the V1.

 

I have nothing to compare my V1 to, but it does the job very well. Can't complain. And the arrows are cool

 

More than cool.

I had 6 bogeys today going thru Snowmass Canyon. Turned out to be 2 ahead and 4 behind. The 2 ahead had someone boxed in and the other 4 were moving fast behind me to assist. You gotta know where they are and how many.

V1 thank you.

 

Bought AAPL stock (first time @ $39 p/s) several times through the years and used the gains to pay cash for my F430.

 

The Timate titanium exhaust for my 360.

In my opinion the best thing I've added to my 360 is the Kreissieg F1 exhaust, added just this week. A bit expensive - but I love it, and can;t stop driving the car now.. The reason I bought it, a part from the insane sound, was that everyone who I spoke to who had one , similarly raved about it. Anyway - that's my two bobs worth.

here's a link - not my car though it captures the sound really well.
