RonnieRenaldi Report post Posted March 28, 2014 After just taking Ferrari pics all these years, I finally get to own one It's an F430 Coupe with F1 tranny in Giallo Modena/yellow exterior with Nero/black interior. Some options on the car: - CF driving zone trim - Yellow tach - Daytona seats with yellow stitching - Leather rear shelf & door moulding - High power Hifi with subwoofer - Leather roof headliner The car came with Tubi GTC exhaust. And of course, if you know me, I put a few mods just two days after it's delivered - Carbonio CF airboxes and BMC filters - Carbonio CF challenge longer paddles - Carbonio CF cupholder - H&R spacers (for now before I get my wheels) CF dashboard trim option: Yellow tach option: Daytona seats with yellow stitching option: Extended leather rear shelf & door moulding option : High power Hifi with subwoofer option: Full leather roof headliner option: Carbonio CF challenge paddles: First round mods Carbonio CF airboxes vs stock: Tubi GTC exhaust: I need to "upgrade" my garage Some VIDEOS: Revving: 1st to 3rd gear pull - shifting at 8500 rpm redline: 1st to 3rd gear pull in the tunnel - shifting at 8500 rpm redline: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griza Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Congrats! You have some amazing roads in CO to enjoy. How slow does it feel compared to the monster torque from the SL55? I dont mean that in a derogatory sense at all, I have a CLS55 and not much pulls like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mean that in a derogatory sense at all, I have a CLS55 and not much pulls like it. Doesn't feel slow at all, the F430 is fast once you get going, it has 120+ mph 1/4-mile trap speed compared to 115 mph on a stock SL55. So my modded SL55 is actually as fast as a stock F430.

gallardo23 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 look forward to seeing which wheels you go with and the rest of your project... I second that. Loved your SL, and I still find myself looking at pics of your old E46 M3. The 430 will no doubt follow suit and be bad ass when your finished. It's coming along nicely so far. Keep up the great work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieRenaldi Report post Posted April 16, 2014 At emission test, they didn't put the car on the rollers, just reading from the exhaust. Wide open curvy road...mountain driving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieRenaldi Report post Posted April 17, 2014 how do you like the car so far? Love it so far, it's not comfortable for sure, you feel connected to the road, a bit harsh suspension, transmission is clunky and jerky but the car feels light and ready to race The high-strung engine makes you want to rev it to 8500 rpm redline all the time. My wife doesn't really like it btw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieRenaldi Report post Posted April 17, 2014 What personalized plate should I get? Something catchy but not douchey, like my RAD BNZ last time 7-characters max, can have blank space, dashes, periods...I'm thinking either RR430, R2, CORSA, FORZA, DWNSHFT, VELOCE, maybe 99PRCNT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
