The Official F430 Thread
 
It seems like there is a lot of interest in Ferraris upcoming road car that many threads regarding the F430 started to appear on JW. It is quite confusing when you have 1000 threads about one car, and some threads feature one or two new pictures so I decided that from now on all of the info regarding the F430 should be posted in one thread since there are no sub-topic sections yet. If what you are posting is big please PM me before so it could be made into a regular thread. But for now on please post everything F430 in here.

TT 09-09-2004 07:34 PM

Good move :D I'd say you could put at least the media pics and the Nurburgring unveiling ones in the first post :D

edit - did it for you, at least a some of them ;)

SFDMALEX 09-09-2004 07:54 PM

Thanks TT, Ill work on it saturday :) I want to move all the major stuff posted so far in that first post. :wink:

TT 09-09-2004 07:56 PM

Yes, good idea again! And just lock or move to the mods section new topics from ppl unable to read ;)

TT 09-10-2004 03:52 AM

Added some more stuff to the first post, included the small video hosted on a free webspace.. the strange thing is that, if I download it I get a .zip.htm extension.. you probably need to change that, but it takes a sec

mindgam3 09-10-2004 09:05 AM

it looks like its gonna sound awesome as well going by the 430 unveiling vid. It sounds like it has a much more rumbly idle than the 360 and although it didnt go up the revs much i think this one is gonna be much more of a screamer than the 360 when it opens up too. Cant wait for some on road/track vids

bmagni 09-10-2004 12:42 PM

i guess more people are liking it now, we were al sceptic when the pre pictureas and press pics were released... i really like it :)

mindgam3 09-10-2004 12:58 PM

"all sceptic"?

I certainly wasn't ;)

bmagni 09-10-2004 01:27 PM

ok "some were sceptic" happy ????

dons5 09-11-2004 12:17 AM

of course its gonna be a screamer but 360 was defenetly a screamer too especially with capristo stage 3 exhaust or challenege or whatever

ice 09-11-2004 03:41 PM

The F430's definately grown on me in general, but I'm sooo anxious to see how, if at all, Ferrari's changed it's driving "philosophy". It seems like they made a move to an Enzo or Stradale type style, and even the exhaust sound from that clip agrees with that. It sounds nothing like a 355 or stock 360 and much more like a CS or Enzo.

dons5 09-11-2004 07:43 PM

it sounds like an Enzo 355 and 360 in one lol

nejcdolinsek 09-12-2004 05:03 AM

Damn I love this car!!!!!!!!

IMO, the best combo for this car is Red/Tan, daytona styled seats, CC brakes w/ red callipers, the new rims (not the CS ones), Scuderia shields.... and I can't believe it... F1 transmission. I think this car is too modern for it to be a normal manual. For instance, the 575 is PERFECT in a manual, but I'm not so sure about the 430... :|

Edit:

Jabba 09-12-2004 08:06 AM

I LOVE the first post. Well done Alex. Great reference to a car that I think I am already starting to fall in LOVE with. It just seems to be more of an exotic Ferrari (example the mirrors) than the more recent examples.

Would anyone really choose a gallardo over this beauty and if so why ?

Darkel 09-12-2004 08:27 AM

Good thread ! :D

Jabba >> I would have chosen the Gallardo but that was BEFORE the first 430 pic :roll:

Does this mean you're considering buying one?? :wink:

TT 09-12-2004 09:52 AM

I don't think the 430 can come close to the 355 charm :D it sure is better and sexier than a Gallardo IMO, but the 355 plays in another league :D

Jabba 09-12-2004 12:47 PM

Strange that I am seeing the 355 in the 430. Maybe I need to check the air in my house for a leaking gas pipe or something.

TT 09-12-2004 12:51 PM

LOL I don't know, for sure I already put the 430 right after the 355 and in front of the 360 in my list, but still, the 355 has such pure lines, less tortured.. ideal lines :D

nthfinity 09-12-2004 10:20 PM

i agree, i like this car much more then the 360.... but seems to retain to many of its direct predicessor's lines.

Anonymous 09-13-2004 07:32 AM

Looks like ferrari are really getting back to their best with this shape, but then anything would have been a slight disappointment IMO after the 355 thats what happens when you set such high standards :D I have to say i was really won over by the feature in this months top gear mag, and then i come here and find even more info :D :D Great job guys!!, i think i'd better start saving :lol:

urban_hero 09-13-2004 08:23 AM

I love it. Love how the F1/CS/Enzo influences are all coming in to the car. It does look like an evolved, face-lifted 360, but with more power. I would really like a driving style switch on my steering wheel too, flick it to race, or electronic systems off more often than not i would guess!
It is more a Gallardo beater than the standard 360 now. However if the Gallardo had proper Lambo doors....!

i dont think they would fit... i like it the way it is :D

Caps8419 09-13-2004 02:29 PM

i like everything but the back of the car. IMO they should have just evolved the regular challenge grill of the 360 not ripped the rear of an enzo off and slapped it on the 430. everything slows up until the ass.

wolfster 09-14-2004 08:11 PM

hey you guys know if you can get the italian stripe on it or is that exclusivly for the 360 CS? maybe it's too early to ask..

TT 09-15-2004 03:40 AM

Well I'm pretty sure there is no stripe option.. it will be maybe for the 430CS ;)

ice 09-15-2004 01:46 PM

IM genuinely suprised at the lack of support to the 360. I was always under the impression, besides it being my point of view, that the 360 was more impressive then the 355. From what Ive read so far, its the oppositte, and the biggest contributing factor isnt even material, its nearly entirely subjective. For me, the 360 will always be a better car, taking into consideration performance, looks and even practicality.

abbor 09-15-2004 01:58 PM

But it's all about subjectivity! Personally, I liked 360 better untill half a year ago, when I realised that it's too common.
I like it, but there are too many of them.

adamwich 09-15-2004 02:15 PM

A new F430 spider picture.

abbor 09-15-2004 02:18 PM

I think the Spiders ruin some of the Ferraris... Don't like them!

adamwich 09-15-2004 02:21 PM

I love "ferrari spiders", well some are more beautiful then others, but i like them.

abbor 09-15-2004 02:24 PM

They're better than many other spiders and cabs, but I generally don't like open cars to look at. To drive them is another matter. :D

I also love to drive in open cars! :D

dons5 09-16-2004 05:46 AM

when it comes to coupes, 355 is just as beautiful as 360, but when it comes too spyder, omg a 360 it looks sooooooo exotic i think its the long low flat rear, it gives the car this shape which is just somethin like ive never seen before fuckin gorgeous, and with the top up, red with black interior and black top up looks jus soo sleek jus ready to sneak up on someone and kill them

great pics !! thnx. i really like it... the back imo is great

ZfrkS62 09-21-2004 04:08 PM

SWEEET!!! Wasn't too keen on taking the Enzo tailights at first but looking at the car in yellow...yummy :D love the aggressive nose section :)

racer_f50 09-21-2004 07:25 PM

thanks for those new pics nejcdolinsek, i must say the car is really growing on me, and seeing it in silver really confirmed this! probly the perfect color for that car.

dons5 09-22-2004 04:17 AM

holy fuck i dont give a fuck who the head desinger is if its Kevin guy or the Mini guys whos supposed to come, the point is Ferrari and Pininfarina look over everything and once again Ferrari leaves everyone breathless with there new masterfull design even if it has a lot of 360 its still so different at the same time

aks 09-22-2004 05:25 AM

wat a masterpiece. thanks a lot for posting man, i love the pics!

TT 09-22-2004 05:33 AM

Thanks for the new pics :D editing the first post right away :)

ferrari550 09-22-2004 11:49 AM

Thanks a lot for the great new pics :D They are really quite amazing, you can really see the enzo styling cues!!

nejcdolinsek 09-22-2004 01:20 PM

Whooo! I just realized: look at the newest pics of the silver 430... do you notice it has the 360 CS' carbon fiber mirrors?

If you did, good for you, cause I'm evidently blind :wink:

TT 09-22-2004 01:53 PM

Fuck you are right!! Very well spotted!
