Laser cut keys.

I would take the 360CS over the F430 and F458 though. Its a nice car though, would love to hear that V8.

 

I got a chance to grab a few shots at Belle today. Jason and I really do think alike. I took almost the same shots and angles he did except for being able to get far away since we were in a parking lot . I'll post mine later tonight.

The car is much better looking in person that what I've seen of pictures. I used to think that the Scud was the best looking F car, but this really is a gorgeous car.

I look forward to seeing some of yours, James. It really is a stunner. The lower side flange in a contrasting color really makes a difference in breaking things up a bit.

 

She's GORGEOUS Paul! Both Todd and I are so happy for you! You're a super cool guy and we're excited for you! Enjoy her in good health my friend!

 

What is the lower side flange? Do you mean the lower piece that runs along the side of the car like a side skirt?

Here are my photos from this morning. Can't wait to get some more shots of it. So beautiful.....

Sudoku anyone?

 

That car is amazing Paul. I hope our sound track from Saturday comes out well. The fart and snorts that car makes are the bees knees.

 

One question, does it have a radio?

 

Yep, and a HD, iPod reader and a CD player. All of those are present.

 

From looking at it, it looks like the radio is part of the display to the side of the tach I think. There is a small set of controls on the dash, but I'm just guessing at this point as the car was not running when I snapped my photos.

 

I played with it a bit when I was driving the 458. Not much because that was when Paul hit the twisties!

 

Congrats, Paul, very nice looking ride.

Is it me, or is this the most "modern" styled Ferrari ever? It's very angular, like Lambo has been doing. They have also been putting more into the details, I love the splitters & defusers. I hate to say it, but the headlights almost look Nissan/Lexus like.

 

Fantastic pics, James. Man, I love that car.

 

congrats on the new car sir!

 

Thanks everyone!

Car is AMAZING. It took some getting used to, and it's been growing on me more and more. You really have to drive it for a few days to really appreciate what it's capable of. Getting into Jason's Scuderia was like driving a dinosaur in comparison. That's no insult to the Scuderia (or Jason's car) because the Scuderia will always own a large chunk of my heart and is an amazing car ... but it just feels so dated after driving the F458 for a while.

The stereo is upgraded from stock and includes JBL speakers, and amp/sub upgrades. It sounds AMAZING. Not just amazing by Ferrari standards (and let's be fair, the factory stereo in every Ferrari I've heard just plain sucks), but amazing by any car manufacturer's standards. Probably the best stock system I've heard in any car, with the exception of the $6300 B&O upgraded system available in the Audi S8. iPod connectivity in the F458 is not standard, but I added it as a factory upgrade. The system also includes Sirius-XM sat radio, but I'm not sure about HD radio. The radio is not visible anywhere on the car. The CD-changer and iPod/USB connectivity are all located in the glove box. The display/interface occupies the right TFT display next to RPM gauge in IP and a button will switch that display to an analog representation on a speedometer. There are also buttons that allow track fwd/rev and volume adjustment behind the steering wheel where the fingers rest.
