I just got my January issue of Road and Track. They road tested the new F430. This thing is a beast! All aluminum body and frame, 483hp, 198 mph, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, 1/4 mile in 11.7 seconds. Looks like Ferrari did it again. This is a machine. What is the waiting list on these cars?
If you can find it, check out the latest 5th Gear episode with Tiff and his compadres. http://www.five.tv/programmes/fifthgear/ They review the F430 and I'm sure Top Gear will follow very soon. This is a good review with info on the diff controls on the steering wheel, and the sounds... oh the sounds!
