Got my arse handed to me by a Ferrari F430

[300bhp/ton]

On the way to work this morning a new F430 in silver came up behind me and after toying for a while went flying past (sounded awesome, and even the quirky looks of the F430 are growing on me). Not sure if it was an F1 paddle box or not, but it didn't sound like it was when it shifted.

Only shame was I was in a 1.2 litre Ford Fiesta

Why is it when fun cars are about I'm always in a slow car :shrug: . Saw a BMW M3, TVR Tuscan and a TVR Chimera also on the same journey. :bash:

Still I guess the F430 would have still raped my Z28 but you never know ;-)

[WizardsCobra]

I thought those things had the 1.3L Mazda B3 series engine. I had one at one point. I saw it at an auction for a few hundred bucks and I couldn't resist buying it simply because of how funny looking it was! Haha and the thing got close to 50MPG on the highway!

I hear you about the F430's looks. I usually hate Italian styling and I am even starting to think it looks good.

Leno's personal SHOgun has a 200 shot of nitrous. That would be a ride...

Awesome man, I love the Ferrari F430. They are gorgeous cars and are very quick in every possible way. It's too bad you were in your little Fiesta though. Either way, your Z28 would have to be modified enough to touch high 11's @ 120ish to run one of those beasts. They run hard. Anyways, take it easy man.

How fast are the 430s?

C6 ZO6 Territory

Holy crap?! Are you serious?! They are trapping that high?! 11s!? Ugh!!

 

[BmoseleyINC]

ALmost 500hp, only weighs 3150, High 11's is def possible stock. Nice car.

 

[horseplay]

Its in the playing field of the C6 Z06, But i would think surely the C6 Z06 would beat the F430 without a doubt.

[zerocool]

Z06 territory my ass, show me a F430 running 11.4@126 stock.

 

[Riddla]

Z06 territory my ass, show me a F430 running 11.4@126 stock.

Weight is almost identical to the Z06.....power as well.....so i said...its in the ZO6 territory....but more likely the ZO6 will pull the Ferrari.....just for the record....its not faster than a ZO6 :burnout: .......


Now lets talk about the Enzo......10.8@135mph :uh oh:
