612 Scaglietti with a manual transmission

I definietly don't know much about vintage Ferraris so I'm still not sure exactly what part of the car you are referring to, but I would be interested in seeing a picture of the part of the car you are talking about.
I didn't think the F430 had any styling cues from the vintage models.

 

You should be able to get the idea from these links:

OK, I unerstand what you are talking about now.
I have some side by side pictures of a 360 and F430 that I took and I think those opening look a lot more aggressive than the openings on the 360.
Now that I know it's a styling cue from a vintage model, I like it even more.

To each his own.

 

Yep...

 

Actually, yes.

How's banned life?
