    Finally becoming a Ferrari Owner.

    Gets delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm already having trouble sleeping and get random bursts of grins and laughter whenever my mind wanders to it. JML audio just finished a receiver head and GPS install.

    Pretty fun for a soon to be 35 year old gear head who has never even sat in a Ferrari. Really Really enjoyed my 2004 Black/Black Porsche Boxster S so I figure this will be love at first sight :mad:)

    The real audio is under the glass behind you as you will soon find out.. Congratulations! I have a nice Factory Ferrari CF gas cap that would look perfect on her..

    Yep...you are going to love it! The sound of the engine is worth the price of admission. Nothing sounds like a NA Ferrari...NOTHING!!!
    Enjoy her in good health. Please add pictures of your new beast.

    Same boat I was in when I got mine. Drove an 02' boxster, first Ferrari sat in and drove was mine off the truck.

    Take pics when it arrives. There is nothing like a Ferrari. Not even close. :)

    Just curious. Did you have to pay a premium because the previous owner was Darth Vader?

    Apparently a bunch of us have been down this path... owned Porsches before and the first Ferrari I had ever sat in was when I took delivery of mine off the truck as well. You're going to love it. And yes, a proper post with your pictures when it shows up would be greatly appreciated by all.

    Warm it up and then take it to 8500 rpm. Mine has a massive stereo in it as well and I haven't turned it on in over a year... and I really like to listen to music, but that car is just such an event all by itself. (especially with some sort of upgraded exhaust on it)

    Enjoy and welcome to the club! Your car looks sinister... I remember the feeling of anticipation. You're almost there!

    Just got back from a spirited ride in the 360 I've had for over three years and 10,000 miles.

    The thrill is second to none.

    Enjoy.

    Same here! Just got my F430 and 360, so excited, went to town with the audio but hardly turn on the radio. The real music is behind you when those valves open up!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Nice! My first time sitting in one was also when I bought one. Such a thrill. Still puts a smile on my face every time.

    This pic continues to be useless without a sound clip and more information on the sound level and valve effectiveness. :)

    Too bad this website only allows 488kb video files. Would have had a longer clip.

    Hi NCromwell,

    I came very close to making an offer on the car you bought. I decided to also purchase an 04 360 spider Nero/Tan+Nero interior. I traded in a 97 supercharged boxster that I had since new. I have had my "new" baby for a little over a week now, she is beautiful and amazing. Good luck with your new baby.

    Sounds good but sorry looks like crap. Those welds and bends are less than average.

    They sound amazing. What exhaust system do you have in your Ferrari? Let's see some pics and video of your F-car.

    Enjoy! And wait until it's in your garage. You will just randomly go to your garage and stare and say to yourself, "is this Ferrari really mine?". I've had my 430 for eight months now and still do it all the time.

    I already go to the garage and open the door and look at the empty space. I've measured it to see exactly how much space it will take up. Thank goodness the wife drives a Mini Cooper.

    Here is a pic JML Audio posted on the 3rd. Great shot.
    I will post a video and pictures when the car is delivered.
    Can't wait! Going to go sweep the garage again.
