The new 430 looks great Rijk, I love those wheels!
I drove a 360 Modena last Sunday, I just love that car, completely diffrent from the Challenge Stradale and spyder with f1 box I have driven before because this was a manual version. I hope to get to drive a 430 in future, the 360 is already such a powerfull car, let alone a 430 with 90 more horses.
Hans enjoy the testdrive!

Last weekend I had the opportunity to drive Rijk's F430 Spider. A lot
And boy what a difference with the F360! Like Rijk I am a purist when it comes to driving. The less aids, the more fun. That's why I like the Spyker so much.
And when it comes to the F430 my expectations were not extremely high. Look at the facts and you know it corners better than an F360, it is faster than an F360 and it brakes a lot better than an F360.
Why weren't my expectations high than, you might wonder? The answer is simple: I was afraid the new Ferrari was too good to be enjoyed on public roads. If you improve everything, the limits of the car are further away. And that is good on a track, but not good for the adrenaline on a public road.
But how wrong was I! The car has indeed improved a lot, but with the new exhaust (amazing sound thanks to the bypass of the backbox when you speed up), the ceramic brakes (so perfect for precision braking) and the race mode is just too good to be true! What a joy. My compliments go to Ferrari for the end result. The F430 has improved a lot and they managed to give the entertainment factor a big boost. And my compliments for Rijk's taste: he has ordered the right color combination and all the important options, from the red stitching on the black seats to the challenge grille and ceramic brakes.
Bottom line is that I am really impressed with this Ferrari and I really, utterly, love the F430....
... but when I have to choose, I still prefer the Spyker.Attached Files
