Hmmmm...I don't see any Nurburgring times yet for the F430. I'm kind of curious, if the F430 is so lightning fast, why hasn't Ferrari listed any Nurburgring times for it yet? Maybe they had to make their juicy magazine-test-ringer before they could make their "Nurburgring-er". Interesting though, how Ferrari's "track demon" (the 360 Challenge Stradale) got "wacked" by 2 other stock Lambo's at Nurburgring... 7:50 Murcielago 7:52 Gallardo 7:56 360 Challenge Stradale And I'm sure the "wacking" will get more severe with the onset of the Gallardo S and Murcielago GT. Muuuu-wah-ha-haaaa... ...MUUUU-wah-ha-haaaaaaaaa... ...MUUUUU-WAH-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

"Us Lambo guys" won't be running from any 430's. Bring them on. 12.1@118? Try 11.72 @ 122.52. If you honestly believe the recent 430 tests are consistently reproduceable, you are on crack. Even the Ferrari diehards that I speak to (whom are purchasing 430's) don't believe it. That's got to tell you something. And, even IF the 430 does run a legit 11.7 (yeah right), and the Murci runs an 11.7, any idea what you can expect past the 1/4 mile? Hmmm. V12 or V8. I wonder....

Ford GT (after seeing the production version in person, wasn't impressed) Mercedes SLR (Ambiguously Gay Duo mobile) Mercedes G-Wagon (for people desperate for bling-bling) Maybach (boring) Dodge Viper (I visualize Joe Dirt driving one of these) BMW 5-Series (looks like it should have an Acura badge on it) BMW 7-Series (back end is horrendous) Ferrari 612 (ugliest exotic car on market) Ferrari 456 (used to be the ugliest exotic car on the market, till the 612) Ferrari 430 (looks like a ricer-360 with a bad body kit) Ferrari 348 (not even a Ferrari, in my opinion) Maserati Quattroporte (front end looks like a carp) Maserati Spyder (ditto) Lexus SC 430 (what's the deal with these things? they are goofy) Shelby Series 1 (kit car appearance) Spyker C8 Spyder (just plain weird looking)

The new 5-series looks more Japanese than an Acura RSX. Fugly. Regardless of all the technical benefits of the car, the styling alone would not allow me to purchase one. I'd take the E55 over the new M5.

Mustang, for sure. I'd take a Winnebago in a heartbeat over a Mustang.
