430 OMG what have i done (just bought my F430 Spider!!)

Yessir, sold it right before March so I did okay. I've had a soft spot for the 360 body for some time but never really looked into it until recently. Hoping to find one that fits the budget!

 

Wow. I’m torn between this or a 360.

 

Congratulations, OP, you have bought a magnificent car. I took mine (gated 430 Spider) our for a blast on empty roads and in sunshine yesterday and never ceases impressing me.

a couple of things that are underrated on these cars:

- the spider design is so good that there is minimal wind and buffetting inside even well over 100mph. This cannot be said for every performance convertible. Meanwhile the 458/488 have a much lower seating position relative to open top making them feel more like targas, less convertibles

- the rawness and feel of the car make it alive at speeds in which a 458 and 488 are just ambling along. Of course we don’t have the limits of the newer cars - but ours are more fun at many legal speeds

I get to review new supercars as part of my job in the media (tho I am not a car journalist). In recent months I’ve taken weeklong high speed trips in a 720S, Huracan Evo Spider, Aston Superleggera, and a Portofino. Honestly I don’t miss or wish for any of them when taking my 430 Spider out for a weekend zoom. The others are much better DDs of course and better at a lot of things, but that’s not the point. Enjoy. The 430 is a real sweet spot.

 

Nice ride and colour combo.
Welcome and enjoy

 

Well you will not have any problem keeping six feet away from anyone.

 

Congratulations, on the beautiful car. I love my 430 spider it’s a long term keeper for me, as themaven said, the car feels alive in a way that most more modern sports cars have lost.

 

Congrats!
That's a very nice car. I just pulled the trigger on a 430 as well and can't wait to get her home!

 

Congrats to you on the arrival of your F430.You will always remember the experience of pulling the trigger on your first Ferrari.Enjoy your car in good health and listen to the beautiful music of the sound of the car
