Jim G Report post Posted April 26, 2005 Motortrend, more numbers showing that the 430 is wicked fast for ONLY 483hp. 0-60 3.7 430, 0-60 3.6 for the GT, quarter mile 11.7 @ 122.8 for the 430, 11.6 at 126 for the GT. The 430 also handlily out braked the Ford and took the overall victory, no skid pad numbers were given. Seems like Ferrari is spot on with their HP rating, or even understated, and curb weight for a change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew about all the BS Ferrari put out inthe past, I'd agree with you too before this car was officially tested. :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Other magazines put it 1/4 mile speed at a ludicrous 127mph. This is more believeable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK90077 Report post Posted May 12, 2005 I still doent believe it till I see it. The 430 is faster than and F50??? How is that?? F50 has more hp, V12 more tq.. I dont get it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Report post Posted May 12, 2005 Don't forget what they said about the GT's numbers. Apparently, the car was WAY slower than others they've tested in the past. If it would have been up to the standards set by the prescendant cars, it would have better performed against the F430, at least in a straight line. Now, let's not forget that the F430 is one helluva car! Especially compared to the wimpy 360... -Olivier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantera Report post Posted May 12, 2005 I still doent believe it till I see it. The 430 is faster than and F50??? How is that?? F50 has more hp, V12 more tq.. I dont get it I don't believe the maginzes until i see it for my self or ask a ferrari owner who ownes both cars. Maginzes lie! exsample most mags said the C6 is faster than the SRT-10 but when i look at the performance numbers and compare them i dont see how it out performs it all and the viper is still faster, all i see is pure biaist. I dont get and thats why i stoped reading maginzes. In this case i truely dont know how someone can say this is faster than the F-50 because the F-50 is still one fast as car. But if it Is so than the Gallardo out performs the Diablo 6.0 VT!. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
