    Is the sound better if you compare it to the 360?

    If the car is equiped with the Xenon lights you also get some high pressure washers. The washers flips out of it.

    Nice pics, I am curious to hear the F430!

    No test drive arranged unfortunately. If I do I'll do it at Foitek as they are the people I normally deal with. Interesting talking to Mr Leirer last night. He told me that the waiting time for a new F430 is only 15 months. Less than I expected.

    I mean, the water cant go straight to the Xenon :confused:

    I am dying for an F430, especially after having heard it last night!! Also, American magazine Car & Driver tested it:

    0-100 Km/h 3.5s
    0-160 Km/h 7.5s
    0-200 Km/h 11.0s (approx.)
    400m in 11.6s.

    This car is a MONSTER - it offers 99% of Enzo performance at a bargain price. It is going to kill every other supercar for a long time, not to speak of sad superbikes which will have serious problems against it...

    Unfortunately I calculated I could only afford one if I pay it back in 8 years or so. Which wouldn't be so bad... if the bank lets me! I hope my bank manager is a Ferrari enthusiast...

    The problem will be that after five years you still will be paying top money for this car when a new model already has arrived. Why don't you buy one in a year or two?
