Just saw an F430 on the road!

I had no idea these cars were out in America yet.

I was going north on Coldwater Canyon into the valley to pick up some lunch. There's always some traffic on Coldwater during the day so both directions were going about 15-25 mph. This gave me a good chance to see a Red/tan F430 drive right past me going southbound. The driver was a woman probably in her low 40's (if you're out there and i'm wrong, don't kill me ). No passenger.

At first i thought it was a 360 then i did a double take when i saw the big holes in the front bumper. The back end looks great on the street.

Overall I think the 360 is at least as good looking, if not better. But, it's always exciting to see "the new Ferrari" for the first time.

wait until you see that ugly **** end in a color other than red! the four big red round lights and two rectangular ones look heinous in contrast to any color than red or black. as well, the front end imo is much nicer on a 360 unless the 430 is black to hide those huge and ugly shapped intakes.

i just saw a 430 coupe at the motorshow in Melbourne,Australia.It was sitting beside a 360 spider and both cars were in Rosso Scuderia.I walked around and around it waiting for the little voice inside my head to shout "go get one,NOW!!".Unfortunately(or fortunately,depending on how you see it !!)that little voice was nowhere to be heard.Conclusion:keep my 360 coupe and wait to see what the 997 TT looks like

The rear end on that car looks high compared to the 360 imo...
