    I was at Willow Springs this weekend at the Pantera club day. i have what I consider a proper track car a 04 Gt3. I love the 360s and have thought about them but didnt want to push the wife (we are of modest means) But I saw my first 430 in person. It was at the autogallery truck with the CS race car.
    I was blown away. IN PERSON the car is stunning I was taken aback!! In pictures the car doesnt do much for me but pictures dont do it justice. I need to get my heart back in control. I was thinking about it all weekend. It disrupted my NFL Sunday. I am currently scheming. Dont tell my wife.
    (BTW there were a BUNCH of 575's do you guys track that car??)

    I saw my first 430's on Wednesday- so stunning. They look great in .jpg's but in the flesh they are amazing. As for the F40- so much better in the flesh. <333

    That also was my reaction upon seeing the early photos of the car, however, you need to see F430 in the "metal" (so to speak) to really appreciate it and it's a beauty. ;)

    Oh wow, thank you for those pictures. That grey on tan F430 Spider just made me fall in love with the car.

    Please tell me you have some more pictures of the interior.. PLEASE.
    I am getting an F430 with dark gray stitching to match the silverstone exterior. Funny enough, that car is identical to the car I ordered except mine is a coupe. And the closest I can get to seeing a dark gray stitching with that interior is the stitching of the car you saw. I know it is not dark gray, but at least it will give me an idea of what my car will look like.

    Please tell me you got more pictures.
