    One of the first F430s in the USA with new optional Ball Polished Challenge wheels! (MY07 option).

    After a long wait my new F430 finally left the factory in January and made its way across the Atlantic to New Jersey, USA, landing there the third week of Feb. The next leg of the trip brought it to sunny California where I finally took delivery of it yesterday.

    Being an existing Ferrari owner (360F1 Spider) and the F430 being my second Ferrari, I'm still overjoyed, perhaps even more than the first time, as I was able to order and get the car I wanted, the colors, options..wow!

    Took it out to the beach today...Its a stunning achievement!!!

    Here are the specs and enjoy the pics:

    Sweet! My black F430 coupe, with ball-polished challenge wheels, is due into SF in about 2-3 weeks. Left italy on 2/15.

    I hadn't yet seen a pict of the new wheels. I'm glad I too ordered them!

    Nice car - enjoy!

    Great choice of options you ordered there. The results are spectacular. Especially the challenge grill. Do you think you will miss the spiders; open to the sky effect?

    What an absolute stunning car!! I've long been a fan of the ball polished rims. They really set off the car regardless of the exterior color! Excellent choice of interior inserts with the daytona seats! Congrats!

    Guys thank you so much for the good wishes. I know from being a passionate Ferrari fan that everyone of us dreams of a new Ferrari and with the F430 it really is fullfilling a dream. The car is a blast to drive, and I ve driven many sports cars including Lambo Murcielago Roadster and Carrera GT among others...and I may be biased but an independent European board comprised of respected automotive journalists rated the F430 Coupe as the best sports car in the world...I wont disagree!

    So how is it compared to my 360F1 Spider...I think its about the same step in evolution as the 360 is to a 355...dramatic difference!

    I specd the car as close to a racing version of F430 as possible with the CF Rear Challenge Grill and the Ball Polished Challenge wheels...which believe it or not save tremendous weight compared to the conventional star wheels. F430 Coupe also has a different ECU than the 430 Spider allowing it to be quicker of the trigger. The F1 software has been updated for 07 along with an awesome new stereo unit...The car just rips up the pavement. The 360 Spider will be leaving...The F430 is here and now!

    Congratulations! Very nice F430 you have there. I really love it.

    Almost everybody now who has new F430's have CS grille and I'm so jealous about it. Dealer never told us about that option. :(
