2005 Ferrari F430

Just saw this, thought you might like

http://www.supercarsite.net/f430.htm

I think it looks great. Nice improvement on the 360's looks.

Things that caught my eye:

483 hp at 8500 rpm up from 400 hp

343 ft-lb at 5250 rpm up from 275 ft-lb

It doesn't give a redline, the 360's was 8500.

I like the original 360 body better, I have a model sitting on my desk so I stare at it all day long. I'll take the engine and tranny swap though

I like it, it looks very nice. I'm kind've surprised about those #'s that is a huge increase in performance. I guess Ferrari saw what Porsche did not, that the market is making quantum leaps in performance. 483 hp is nice, it might give the new C6 a run for the money. Nice bump in torque as well.

Click here for more pics. They're too small in thumbnail form and too large in expanded form to post.
