Compared to the likes of the F355....

I am with you there 10 4; the F355 is still my favourite modern Ferrari even though most people I say this to reckon it's so dated. I think as far as pure *design* goes it is leagues ahead of the 360 and 430; despite the fact there are some 'dated' styling cues like the pop up headlamps, the proportions are bang on to my eyes, whereas the 360 looked a bit 'fat' and plain strange from some angles (mostly the rear three quarter). Challenge Stradale went a long way to rectifying that by slamming the chassis and adding a more aggressive front spoiler.

As Shaun said also, it seems as though some of Ferrari's designs are 'different' for the sake of being different; reminds me of the late Bangle philosophy (not the designs themselves but the idea that you have to do something out there just to be noticed and move the design paradigm on; without the resultant design necessarily being in proportion or aesthetically pleasing in the traditional sense)

So low and wide.... Best sounding Ferrari too (imo).

One day..

Yeah best sound to my ears (but I'm going off what they sound like from outside the car, not inside :closedeyes:)

From what I've heard, sound-wise; F355 > 360 > 458 > F430. To me the 430 sounds really 'flat' and lacks that crispness of the smaller flat crank V8s

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
