Nissan 370Z Forum  

So, one of our customer let me drive this...

2009 Ferrari F430. Unbelievable car. Cannot beat the exhaust note, and plenty quick. On a side note, the handling on our cars felt very similar to this. Obviously power/braking/car payment

Oh yeah, other cars in his stable:
2008 Mercedes S65 AMG
2008 Mercedes SL600
2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 (waiting for a supercharger)

Sweet. A friend of mine ran a 430 in the Ferrari Challenge series for a year. I've got an in-car video from one of his races and I get the wooblies every time I watch it. Awesome cars.
He had a 360 when I first met him and he said, "You want to drive it?" I almost passed out.

The owner of my company has a F430 Spider, and I was lucky enough to drive it last year. I had goosebumps the entire time driving it... there really is nothing like that engine sound only a foot behind your head.

I saw one of those in a Stop & Shop parking lot (although it was a Challenge Stradale). Too bad the 458 Italia makes it seem obsolete.

I work for a small business that sells metal fabrication equipment. I'm the guy that goes in and sets it up, trains the customer how to run it, and sets up the software for it.

He is out of Tennessee and owns a company that builds tube benders for off road vehicles/race cars, etc.

Car has almost 5K on it already, hes had it for 11 months. He said just enjoys driving it, which I thought was pretty cool.
