New acquisition

Just picked her up from dealer yesterday, 07 coupe with 450 miles, options include: red calipers, shields, electric daytona seats, front & rear parking sensor, rear challenge grill, red stiching, & battery charger.

Now I know what all the fuss is about the F430, it is truly an awesome driving machine! My previous 600HP modded 996TT might be faster, or the Gallardo might have more exotic curves, but this car is a total package! Handles great, the brakes are amazing, acceleration is not too shabby either, the F1 tranny is lightening-quick...and the music coming from the exhaust is simply intoxicating!

Thanks! I know mileage will bring the value down but I just can't wait to take her out for another drive again!

Thanks Joe! I think I'm gonna keep this one "stock" at least for now. Was thinking about getting the challenge wheels but I don't think it's worth it at $8K for some BBS wheels.
