360 is a little bit 'raspy' as standard I thought.

I'd stick a Capristo on one.

The F430 is quite alot deeper and different sounding and has a loud 'woof' on start up. Don't forget the 430 is a totally different engine to 360 mate. Its not just a bigger capacity. Its a different design...

The 430 doesnt have belts that need chaging every 3 minutes like the previous 348,355 and 360 which is a bonus Its chain driven.

Least on the 360 the belts are not an engine out job. think they are accessed from behind the seats

Good luck picking it up on saturday. I am around all weekend if you fancy a cruise out to sunny Essex for an F-car mini meet

The 430 and the 360 look so similar that I think its easy for people to not realise the massive gulf between them mechanically!

The standard exhaust is AMAZING.

fucking amazingly loud when you want it to be. and very very quiet if you want it to be as well.

I have modified and fiddled with every car I have ever owned.... apart from the Donkey. Its just perfect as it is.

If you are tall you will need the rare sports seats as the Daytonas and std seats are a bit high.
Ill take your word for it That makes me happy less money to spend

Yeah, im 6ft 8, problem is will i fit in the sport seats hah ? Im wide too.

I JUST fitted in Chips 3 door and i was a fair bit slimmer back then!

Funny you should say that, i read a column in Car magazine about ferrari engineers getting pissed off about aftermarket exhausts, I shall try to find it but anyway they have a whole proper sound room just for tuning the NOISE of the exhausts!

Yoive got a few years to looose weight before youd ever afford one so make it part of your plan. youll find it easier to get a job too as less people will discrimiate against you for being a fat cunt. can be quite harmful for young people like you as you wont have a career reputation so they will judge what they see.

I plan to buy one by the time im 30, and i was 25 yesturday. How I buy one is another matter, most likely wont be 100% cash

Parents and I are relocating to Chester in around 2 years with enough cash left over to buy, do up and sell / rent properties

Maybe a bit ambitious but its the chance we are taking for a better lifestyle
