Just took delivery last Wednesday. This thing is a screamer.

We sooooo need some video clips! And some of the exhaust note!

Congrats on an amazing car! If you dont mind me asking - how much did you have to pay extra for the stripes?

Long time no hear Josh!

Beautifull! I got to drive the "regular" F430 and yes, they are screamers, the Scuderia even more so!

Welcome to the club.
I warn you: that car is probably the most addictive of any other on the market now.

BIG congratulations to both of you!

That is one of the most exciting cars ever made, videos is a must!

Absent, is there any chance that we could see some pics of your CGT?

Absolutely!
Just got that car as a daily driver so don't have any pics yet but will take some ASAP.
BTW,its not a Porsche CGT,it is a Bentley CGT Speed,much more suitable as a daily car here in Chicago with it's AWD and back seat for occasional need.

It's funny (or maybe just sad) after driving the Scud, getting into the GT3 is a MAJOR let down. The 430S rides more comfortably, sounds better, gives better feedback, not quite as twitchy (longer wheelbase helps) and the performance - AMAZING. I spent about a half an hour a few days ago trying to figure out how to tune the radio. Never could figure it out, but I had already reached the conclusion before starting that all the music I need was visible in the rear-view mirror, and that the radio tuning experience was simply an academic exercise (at which I failed)

My solution to the garbage Ferrari insists to offer in their cars was to order the car without it and settle for just the original soundtrack from behind.

The GT3 is a wonderful car. I had the RS lightweight flywheel put in it when they had the transmission out for the ever-present oil leak in the rear assembly. I really have no complaints with it. The new one with the additional horsepower and the potential for a PDK transmission is going to be phenomenal. And yes, I have spent years on heel-toe, and I get a boatload of enjoyment from manually tracking through the gears. Getting the sequence down properly when on a curvy road is incredibly satisfying, but I actually prefer a good dual-clutch gearbox.

That works as well!
