From your posts you expected that you could get a Ferrari F430 at MSRP, and trade it into a 599 with no existing relationships. It just didn't make a lot of sense unless there were some hidden connections.

It is not a question of disbelief, it is a question of understanding, no proofs required by me. Events will run their course and provide the complete picture.
OKAY - I now have a APRIL/MAY for the F430 build. - SO SOON I WILL SEND YOU THE PICTURES - thanks for the PUSH i needed it.

Can anyone share links, ordering guides, colors with me - Dealer is meeting with me next week and I would like to do my homework.

You are going to get a rude awakening if you believe you will be getting a spring build at MSRP......and the earliest you would see the car is September/October,meeting with the dealer LOL, but you will eventually learn. In regards to your homework, there are only a handful , read one page , of options and a few colors to choose from.........

"Can anyone share links, ordering guides, colors with me"


FWIW, a suggestion - look at the 360s and 430s on the dupontregistry.com auto site - you can browse a wide variety of interior/exterior combinations. The "showroom" section on ferrarichat also might have something useful. Good luck.

Default 2005 f430 options

i can't find my 2006 list but here's a link for 2005 from UK. this should give you a good idea of prices (convert gbp to usd) and available options.

Yeah, congrats on the 430. There is a company that had a supercharger for the 360. They probably have that kit completed for the 430 by now. I'm assuming that you will need it if your measuring cars by the CGT.

Here's the company that puts twin superchargers(and other things) on the 430 - http://novitecrosso.com/start_iii.html

They should be able to help you with your need for speed.

A 430 Spyder will have you selling the C-GT. Not that the C-GT is not magnificent, it is. But the 430 is almost as good and MUCH more drivable.
