My friend and I traded in a Z06 for a 05 6500miles red 430 Ferrari. I love the car. I love my 997 turbo but the ferrari has a certain feel to it that can not be replicated. I am very happy we went with the f430 instead of the Gallardo. The engine exhaust sound is incredible. I also ordered HRE wheels and Brembo brakes for it. The brakes are great but look small under the wheels. I am going with a 305 for the rear with Michelin PS2.

 

We? 50/50 ownership? Cool concept.....

 

Congrats on the F car. I've always like the 430, but I think the maintenance would kill me. I would guess the Turbo is much easier to drive fast.

 

Pictures!?!?!??!!?

 

I will put pictures but totally different feel. The Ferrari has the incredible engine sound and a great ****pit with tac. The Ferrari is fast so do not let anyone tell you different. We were going to buy a Lambo or the Ferrari but I have to say the Ferrari felt somewhat better but I would still buy a Gallardo. The shared ownership is because we both have 911 turbos so buying it outright does not make sense but sharing the ownership does.

 

Congrats, How much did you pay for it?

 

$135,000

 

Is this the Ferrari Tom (out of San Antonio) hollywood996 bought?

 

yes it is. I will give pictures. I am upgrading to a Brembo gt system and HRE wheels. It comes with 285 rears and I am going with a 305 rear. The car is red with a stunning black interior with red stiching. You can go to lamborghi Houston and look at their inventory for Ferraris and you will see our car.

 

congrats. i've driven both and much prefer the F430 over the Gallardo.

 

If not too personal...what did they give for the z06?

 

Sounds like a good price for the '05. Congrats.

 

got $40 paid $47 on the Z06. We had wheels and brakes but decided to strip the car down and sale the Z06 in stock form.

 

Cool. Def post some pics of it and the TT when you can.

Also, id like to learn more about the shared ownership of the car. A friend of mine and myself were looking into that. PM if its too much for this thread. Thanks!!

 

I'd like to hear about it as well!
