    Hello, I just purchased my second Ferrari in my life. The first was a 1987 328 GTS which I sold several years ago. I now have purchased a 2008 F-430 spider from exotic cars of Houston. It was a great experience. Although when I joined the Forum, I did not own a Ferrari, therefore my name is 05 Ford GT. I have retained the GT and plan on having a garage full of fun!

    Hope to get to know many of you

    Mike

    Nice collection - great variety. Would love to hear your comments on how the 430 stacks up after you have driven it some.

    430 is a fine engineered machine. The GT is a super car as well with a bit of muscle feel.
    The Viper is pure power but heavy. I think the GT is easiest to drive but the Ferrari gets all the looks. Amazing the GT gets a different look. The Ferrari gets a "shocked I just saw a Ferrari look. I just sold the Viper recently, it was a 2001 I built for the track. I replaced it with ad 2008 ACR.

    Well, save the picture. I sold the GT last week and now it is just the Viper and Ferrari in the garage. I am planning on enjoying the 430 for a year or so and then getting a 458 or 488. Always working on something! lol
