I loved the gated F430, fortunately I bought it several years ago before the gated prices started skyrocketing. It has such a visceral connected feel, that is addicting and although I've had huge tempting offers since the big price spike by some of the guys in the Ferrari crowd, that have much deeper wallets than mine, I have no intention of parting with it.. All of my cars are either 4, 5, or 6 speed, so I'm with you there, I have no interest in a C8 unless they decide to give us a choice other than the DCT. I am so impressed at the knowledge here, as although I've been a C2 and C3 guy forever, as well as owning another C4 many years ago, I'm a rookie with all the LT5 specifics and will continue to come here for guidance. Feel free to pm or email me with any questions, like the ZR-1 world is so specific and there are dos and dont's, the same holds true for Ferraris. In the 360/430 family, thats a realm I have become so very familiar with many years ago and would be more than happy to point you in the right direction(s) They are similar, yet there are many differences between the 360 and 430, learn them all and decide what is best for you. There were a lot more gated 360's built than 430's so price and availability will be quite a bit easier. the F1 360 and 430's are plentiful, but repair expenses can be astronomical. And I have driven them, just not the same without that 3rd pedal.

We're the only group, well, one of the members broke off and has some followers.
We usually caravan in some fashion to Carlisle and the gathering in Bowling Green that got blown off this year. |

Oh, sure the Carlisle caravan, that sounds awesome. I saw that Bowling Green was cancelled, bummed me out . Ive done the factory tour and the museum several times since it opened, but now I want to feel the experience being there behind the wheel of "The king of the hill"....... Maybe next year.
