The 360s were the last to use timing belts, requiring the expensive belt change every 3 years ($3-5K and an all day affair IIRC).

F430s use a timing chain.

I probably spent 30 minutes just looking at that one car...

Just the door hinge mechanism is amazing...

Today coming back from lunch I saw a Fisker Karma in the flesh on Canyon Road and by the time I realized what it was, it was too far gone for a picture.

I was alone so the thought process went like this:

First second: Ah...LEDs. Damn Audis.
Next three seconds: That's no Audi.
Next second: What is that?!?!?!
Next three seocnds: WHAT THE F**K IS THAT?!?!

I must agree with you, the R8 Spyder is a gorgeous car and one of the few cars out there where the convertible is even prettier than the hardtop. My local dealer has a white on black V10 Spyder on the showroom floor. That car makes me want to buy a lottery ticket and head somewhere warm with it for the winter.

I don't think there is or ever has been a car like that. Convertibles always wind up looking frumpy, especially when the top is up but the R8 looks stunning either way. Personally I'm glad they went with a traditional soft top, a metal folding roof would have looked awful in that profile.

Werd. I'd spring for a SLS AMG and pocket the extra $100K or else get a 458 and call it a day.

In terms of design, SLS >>> SL Black Series. I'd get an SLS before that thing. The SL is being redone I believe for next year. But good god...still one sexy beast.
