ok it is fast, and loud and will difenatly get you noticed round town, but telling your mates youve got a supercar is not fun, they allwayes think your showing off. i would not get this car unless u like to show off to ur friends about your bank balance. i no longer have this car.

Ahhh, the F430 .... I know that an even better version (the Scuderia) was launched recently but it's hard to believe that it can improve this already perfect car.
Perfect, really?
Well, no of course, but not that far!
Where do I start? I mean, this car leaves you over-excited, and it is hard to explain it, to translate the feelings into words ... so I'd just say that the F430 was a pure wonder.
Yes, if it starts raining you'd be smashed by the Gallardo, and yes it's no so brilliantly built as the Lambo (let alone the Porsche) but the driving experience ... it beggars belief!
The steering is much lighter that on the Lambo, and much more accurate at the same time. The brakes, the throttle response, the F1-system sequential gearbox all work in perfect harmony to give you the feeling to be Michael Schumacher.
And the sound of that V8 is spine-tingling: not as civilized as the V10 in the Gallardo, but that wilderness feels sooo goood!!!
On the road, it was fantastic, and very confortable. The manetinno was in SPORT mode and I never lose even a bit of grip, no matter how fast (very, very, very fast sometimes) I was going into the corners.
Then, on the track, in RACE mode, it was in a class of its own. Just like with the Gallardo, I did not spin it once.
Ok, ok, the E-diff was probably helping more than my driving skills but the fact is that this car knows how to appeal to the amateurs.
Unfortunately, I was so excited that I forgot to switch off completely the system before I had to pull over, so I can't tell you how it feels without electronic aids, but what I can tell you is that in RACE mode, it was the best handling car I've ever driven, period! Jan 16, 2008

this car was built for one purpose... to go fast
every aspect of this car was derived from Ferrari F1 technology and it shows when ur driving this beauty, if it's straight line acceleration or handling those stricky "S"-curvesNov 13, 2007
