    4th audio clip:

    Ferrari F430 coupe arriving & backing into a space. Completely stock, US-spec.

    * All of these audio clips are high quality but they are only as good as the speakers you listen to then with. Use high quality headphones or speakers for your best listening experience. :)

    Nice job as always! Thanks for all the great pictures from the Fredericksburg trip yesterday. Not sure how you do it but you always seem to get some fantastic images!

    If you guys weren't so secretive and we would have heard about your event OR any of you guys visited the Aviation section here you would have seen we had our FerrariChat Fly-in this weekend there too. We had sponsor Monarch Aviation from Addison doing demo flights in almost new Cessna 400 and 206. I had a T182T G1000 down. Several of us are FCA members too. Here's a quick video of the weekend fun...

    Great pics (as always) & wonderful audio clips, Mike. Your little device made my 360 sound fabulous!

    Hello all,

    Not trying to hijack the thread but wife and I are thinking of taking the car out for a spin to the Hill Country on the weekend of April 24 & 25 and would like suggestions on route and places to stay.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry but I got banned for talking about the Hill Country roads so I'm not going to do it again. :D There is a user on here named Got One http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/member.php?u=31054 He knows the Hill Country roads better than anyone I know. Shoot him a PM.

    LOL, I'm already recruiting Nick for Crescent Tour, so he already knows about the BEST area roads, 2nd best isn't bad though for Hill County. ;)

    The Cali and that Rosso Corsa 360 Spider totally do it for me! If I could afford a Cali I would have one in a heart beat! Room for my wheelchair and a convertible to boot! What is not to love?!

    The Cali looks surprisingly stunning in blue. Excellent pics as always, but the audio clips are simply outstanding! Well done.

    You need one James. The California is Ferrari's 928. :) A nice front engined V8 2+2, just with newer technology and an open top experience. Just wait post depreciation. I'd bet that by that time they'll be a bargain.

    Thanks Tyler! I don't think everyone will appreciate what I'm doing but I'm trying to build a massive audio archive of Ferrari sounds, using the same digital recorder for all of the clips. If you are going to spend $10k on a new muffler, you want an accurate comparison between the different vehicles. That's why all of my audio clips will include info on exactly how the car is set up. A US-spec car will sound different that a Euro-spec car, cats vs no cats, pre-cats vs no pre-cats, etc... it all makes a difference & I'm going to try to include all of that info. This is all just another way for me to have some fun with these awesome cars but I'm also trying to do it in a way that it could be an asset to the Ferrari community.

    That was the first time I really had a chance to play with the recorder. I made a few mistakes but now I have a better understanding of what works & what doesn't work. Hopefully I'll have some awesome clips of a particular F430 coupe on Saturday night.
