Man... I was just cruising rsportscars.com and I see a new Ferrari post!
OMG... I loved the F430 and F430 Challenge was awesome too, but Ferrari has addressed the people who love to track and drive hard, but with a bit more creature comforts and appeal to the eye with this... The F430 Scuderia.

OMG.. I just LOVE that interior! Those red lights at the top center are pretty neat rather than just a simple pinstripe.
And of course, everyone knows I love the carbon fiber!!! More CF = More :D
And wow! The weight reduction on that car... it weighs less than my flat 4 Impreza now.
If I ever see one of these F430 Scuderia in person, I will have died and gone to heaven.
Just waiting for the day until I can afford a prancing horse of my own.
I would totally give up a kidney and my left nut for this car. :stickoutt

This car will be officially unveiled next month at the Frankfurt International Auto Show, personally, by Michael Schumacher.
So what do you guys think of the car?

More pics and info on the car:

Wow.. :drool: That things is soooo nice. Can't wait to see actual pics on the showroom floor and all of that. :alright Fantastic.

agh! Stop it!

agh! Stop it!

Ferrarichat.com got tons of spy shots of the F430 Scuderia too. ;)

Now reality, post the price of the car... $400K +

I am going to get the car of my dream a 07 Black Porsche Cayman S, just need to marry Colleen. ;)

Well... FNA hasn't released prices on it yet.
They are taking preorders though.
I think the deposit is only $10K.
Price will probably be revealed after the FIAS.
Europe gets the F430 Scuderia in February... not sure when North America starts getting theirs.

What information does that little bar graph deal in the dash convey?

Okay now, let's not start doing a "I purchased a Ferrari" theard.

Bad enough the darn "P" cars invaded us, we don't need a Ferrari too! :D

Besides, I don't have that kind of money...I'm so poor I can't even dream of owning one!
But than again that would be a nightmare, as I don't really care for the "F" car...even in "Whatever Red". :stickoutt

I wish I had a Big Wig then I wouldn't get sun burned on my head or have to wear a cap.
And as for the modeling career...well that's just ludicrous!

since you (and me) cant afford the scuderia, go and put your deposit down on the upcoming corvette blue devil...i saw kirk horita yesterday, and asked him if i could leave a deposit with conrad chinen (like how i preordered the Z06 before it was announced) , and he said i could!!!

he said he doesnt know how long i'll have to wait, but he could drop a line to the guy who gives them their allocation...:D

DDDOOOOOO IIITTTTTT!!!!


WTF...I can't dooo itttt in caps anymore?

ok there we go :D

Nah...now that I know my 318 can do 130, I wouldn't have anywhere to go with the lil' devil!
Maybe when/if we move to Oregon someday...but then I'll be too old! :(

Before I bought my turbo, I was looking at the 348TS, F355 and a Testy. I just can't fathom paying that much for servicing.

Still looking for my first 328 GTB:)

BTW... F1 engine is an 8 cylinder.

can you send it to me?

Indy, F1, whatever...you know what I meant :stickoutt All I know there's what looks like a boxer 12 in the beginning of that vid...

What information does that little bar graph deal in the dash convey?

I'm not sure... I think it's a digital tachometer (like S2000 style).
I mean... if they got a digital and analog speedometer, could be that they have both an analog and digital tach too.

you can afford one...with your servco big-wig job and your modeling career, no problemo...

it's always the guys claiming to be poor that have the most $$$...I mean the guy has a BMW and a Porsche for cryin out loud!...:eek:

HJ,
Why are you torturing Frank and me like that--you're cruel-- but I must say you have excellent taste for a cruel person.

Go ahead and get the Ferrari 430 Scud, I still will beat you on the streets on the freeway. :D My friends in blue will see to that all that power and no where to go. I can get my Schwinn and smoke you. :rolleyes.

But again you get a car like that and you will be at the mercy of John Nicoli.

Salesman at BMW said I can be the 4th person on the waiting list for the 2008 M3 just need to put down a refundable deposit.

lol... I've learned my lesson. I don't buy expensive cars in Hawaii anymore after the screwup at BMW Honolulu with my M3.
It's not just the price tag they screw you on.
And you know I don't like to speed on public freeways. :)

Just the public streets then huh? He who lives on Touge--I mean--Tantalus Drive.

Yup... F430 Challenge.
More of a track car than an in-between like the F430 Scuderia.
