Bad ass is right. Ferrari really upped the ante on this one. I read this car is suppose to be faster than the Enzo from 0-60.

yea Enzo is like 3.3 to 60... and 11.1 @ 133-136 in the quarter... also 0-60 is not as good an indicator as 1/4 mile for performance... yeah they did say it was faster than the F40 to 60... but F40 has a higher trap speed (125 mph)... so its actually faster... and it should be - it has about the same engine specs, but weighs 2700 lbs (about 400 lbs less than the 430)

Nice vid, but I like the other guy who does the 5th gear reviews. I forget his name, but he did the review of 360 modena also.

You talking about Tiff Needel?? He's the shit, but back to the subject; I don't like the looks of this car at all!! I wish they retained the old body, but the new engine and tranny! That would be a killer combo! Gallardo what??

Yes Tiff, you can that guy loves cars, he also gives great reviews and is a really good driver.

The new Road and Track has a comparioson of the F430 and the Gallardo. They really like the new F430 and they also said a M/T and a spider should be out next year or so.

I agree about the guy, I would have rather seen Tiff drive this car... hell even Clarkson would have been more fun to watch...
