Puntiki: Wow this car is hot. It is an amazing transformation from the rather un plesant looking F360 that came before it. With 490 Hp it has MORE power than the legendary F40 of the 80's and early 90's, and is about as fast. Good luck trying to get your hands on a new one in NZ at this time, as they are sold out for 4 years. Maybe you can get a second hand one from Singapore through Jerry Clayton? Maybe not, but either way, I could have one of these.
Pablo: Yes again. The Ferrari 430 is truly a religious experience. Having had the pleasure and good fortune of driving a couple of Ferraris in the past, I can only wonder what it would be like to have close to 500 BHP under my right foot in a car as accessible, as fluid and as lithe as the successor to the F360.
One point to note - the styling of the car is a little controversial. It's not ugly, but it's just that it doesn't seem as sexy as the F355 was. Mind you, Ferrari had to improve on the 348, given its rather americanised headlights and styling details. The 355 was a gorgeous car to behold. The F360, in my humble opinion, was impressive looking, aggressive looking, but not sexy. At least they made the car easier to live with than previous generations of those from Le Scuderie .
