I saw few of F430´s in my home town(both coupe and cabrio) and I don´t have any wet dreams about either versions ..As a matter of fact,old F360 is higher on my scale of dream Ferraris ..
From this pack I would choose Audi..probably..

What makes your V-8 better than those of its competitors?
Ferrari: We don't compare our cars with others..."


This letter to Evo editors was in their October 2005 issue:
