I should have it in a few weeks. I had an exhaust from them on my gallardo and it was great. They always are top quality.

A harmless, but impressive little fix. Really wakes the car up.

Congrats BTW!
thinking about buyer one as well (F430), I see you have a 360, im coming from a Porsche world and knowing the car inside and out, so now that Im switching into the Ferrari World , what tips or things should I expect, and how long does the cutch last for, with reg wear and tear. Basically the do's and dont's with this car, sensitive or not ????
(looking for a 2005-2008 model) thanks in advance...

I heard alot of gallardo stay in the shop, thats why I choose to go F-car instead of the lambo, since you experienced both as a owner, whats your opinion/views? thanks

The main reason I got out of the Lambo was because the car always had small issues. Check engine lights.... Bank 1-5 then 6-10 then the would go off. I had a vacume leak from the air boxes.... They said that was a characteristic of the car always excuses so I got tired of always worrying about the next issue. I think the g was a much nice looking car from the outside but that's where it ended. The scuderia hands downs is the most exciting car I have ever driven. I have had many cars and I can truly say I get excited every time I drive it. From the first time I sat in the car you can just tell the difference in the craftsmanship Ferrari builds their cars Lambo borrowed parts from Audi.
That makes all the difference.

Yeah thats what alot of people say not to go the Lambo direction, i need to enjoy the car, and even the dealer said your car will be in here alot, they just haven't figured out all the bugs yet...

Engine Bay cleaning : Cover all connections with plastic that you feel might be at risk then use Simple Green, sprayed from a handheld spray bottle and let drip dry

if areas missed or residue results, spray those areas again and use water from a spray bottle to rinse

Looks good. Someone is buying my 430 this week, it was a great car. I had one of the loudest exhaust set ups I have ever heard, no cats of course.
