Some dreams do come true.

I still sit in the garage with a cigar and admire my car. It has been six months and the honeymoon is still on.

I do have the optional 20 inch wheels but my car has a better interior colors and additional stitching on the seats displaying the Bentley emblem on all four. All my lower grills are chrome and that makes all the difference in the world to me.

They asked me at the dealer about trading in the Bentley on the F430 and I told them I could not. I would have to keep the GTC and buy the Ferrari in addition. I think the got a stiffy.

I have an E60 M5 as my DD, 430 as my weekend toy, and I race Lotus'.
Interestingly, I share the thoughts of my 430 not feeling as "fast" as my M5. But as mentioned I think this is deceiving because the 430 is a lighter car and so well balanced. I don't feel the push in my seat with the 430 as compared to my M5 in "M" mode.
But when I look at the speedo on the 430....all of a sudden it is well above 100 mph.
Ive been meaning to do a straight line race comparison between the two cars but need a volunteer to drive my M5

Pretty sure F430 is faster.

F430 vs M5 no contest

Not sure we are comparing apples to apples. My F430 is WAY quicker than my previous Porsche. Just compare HP to weight ratio. After drivng a Ferrari there is no going back to P-cars, or B-cars, or another other cars for that matter.

Maybe a Lambo.............

What about a Corvette????:

I hear the ZR1 is fast but I'd rather have an F430 pr 458.

Ferrari still a supercar

I had three Corvettes (C4, C5, C6) before. They are pretty fast and they do handle well. But they just are not Ferraris. But this is just my opinion.
