Is It Possible I Saw A Ferrari F430??!

So today I go to buy Jamba Juice in front of the Beverly Center, and on my route home, (traveling on 3rd st) I see this car. At first i thought it was a Saleen S7 but after a couple seconds later, i realized it was a Ferrari. It was either a fixed up F360 or an F430... shit blew me away. Oh yeah some kid 25 or under was driving it. Lucky bastard

I doubt its a 430, my uncle has been waiting about 8 months for a god damn 360.

Edit: There are companies that take a regular old car and replace the motor and do a complete custom kit to make it look like anything.. such as ferrari and usually sell for less than 50K. I see them around often enough.

I dont remember, but looking at the F430 pictures, i dont think it was it. I believe it was a 360 with a bodykit not too radical but not too subtle =D

I haven't kept up on the new 430's, but there's no doubt that a lot of people can get ferrari's faster than others.

i'm sure your right but when someone has the cash in the bank and is having a pick of $150,000 cars, I'm sure ferrari will not have any haste in delivering.

they will deliver, no doubt.

But there are more people with 150k in cash ready to drop it on a new ferrari than there are ferraris. all about your connections.

doubt it was an 430


on a side note, yesterday I drove down the street 10 miles to my brothers. On the way I saw an new Ford GT, a Carrera GT, 2 gallardos, 3 yellow 360's and about 30 64-66 vettes on a cruise

the thing w/ 360's is, if you want a new one, you'll wait about a year I believe, I think the wait for 430's is already beyond 1 1/2 years. But you can get your hands on used 360's but it'll cost you about 50-60K over sticker.


The cars are bought and delivered then owners flip them after some time for a large profit. You can not just walk into a dealer and buy a new one.
