FERRARI F430 Picture Thread

[Yaz]

I drove one last night and boy was I in heaven. I still can't believe it!
This is my first time driving a true sports car and I came out of it very impressed.

I thought BMW's were stiff and had a bumpy ride, but boy was I wrong. You could feel every little bump on street that rattles the car's interior, but I didn't care since the only thing I could hear was that V8 behind me.

Using the paddle shifters to shift gears was awesome and effortless. I wish I was able to open her up all the way to 8500 rpm, but I couldn't as I was driving in city streets with a 30 MPH limit.
I was blown away at how fast and smooth it shifted. I noticed that the car wants to stall when in Manual mode when you start rolling from a traffic stop if you didn't give it enough gas. It's as though you didn't let go of the clutch pedal properly when there isn't even a clutch pedal. It took me a while to get used to this, then I got the hang of it.

I also noticed that the car shifts down (all the way to 1st gear) by itself when slowing down to a stop. I thought that was strange, but what do I know. It's not like I get to drive one everyday.

This car would absolutely be in my garage if I had the money.
