Ferrari F430 Spider F1 Extras are always good to find on a Ferrari,
and this one has a nice mix. Scuderia Ferrari shields, Daytona
seats, dash mounted dedication plate, F1 transmission, colored
dashboard and the factory car cover. Description Only 9,745 miles
93 percent clutch life left Daytona style seats Colored dashboard
Power seats Scuderia Ferrari shields Roll bar upholstery Colored
steering wheel and stitching Wow what a gorgeous car this is! As
you approach youll notice the brilliant silver exterior paint with
the black convertible top and of course the Scuderia Ferrari
shields, all of which are in near perfect condition! The paint is
extremely smooth and still has a very high gloss shine. The entire
hood and front portions of the front quarters are protected with a
clear bra. The wheels are free of any major scratches and look
fantastic. Inside is much the same as the exterior. The black
leather Daytona style seats are in fantastic condition. This car is
equipped with the colored dash, and all functions work as they
should. Pop the top down, strap yourself in, and put your favorite
tunes on, summer is here soon! Here's Car and Driver's take on the
F430: One button pushed for 20 seconds drops the top of the new
Ferrari F430 Spider into its lascivious splash of aluminum
bodywork. Yes, just 20 seconds to a new and brighter you! Need
more? Now try the button on the steering wheel, the one that says
Start. Suddenly, you hear that sonorous purrrrrr, fast, fat, and
deep, like a Bengal tiger getting its tummy scratched. That's a
483-hp, 4.3-liter V-8 tugging on your leash, so you'd better want
to run. First gear stretches out to 8500 rpm, howling to make your
shanks shake. Second gear should get you 60 mph in about 3.6
seconds and a misdemeanor conviction in four flat. Keep the hammer
down through third, fourth, and fifth, and sixth will burn your
scalp clean off at 186 mph, or so Ferrari claims. Coupe and spider
share all their tech goodies, including the E-Diff electronic
differential and self-adjusting Skyhook suspension. The spider
carries another 150 pounds, mostly in the roof mechanism and steel
rollover hoops. Seven electrohydraulic motors fold up the canvas
top and stack it flat in a tiny compartment hidden under the
headrest fairings. Because Ferrari designed the F430's cast- and
extruded-aluminum skeleton for both tintop and topless duty, just
22 pounds go to frame reinforcement, all in the doors and
rocker-panel boxes below the doors. Twisting and bending stiffness
increases over that of the old 360 Spider. As the F430 thumps over
rough pavement, the steering wheel and the floor are almost as
jiggle-free as Francesco's marble columns. Wide, squat, and busied
up with air dams, exhaust tubes, and mesh screens, the spider
resembles the Millennium Falcon from the back as it screams past
morning commuters in their microcubes. As with the F430 coupe,
Ferrari credits both Pininfarina and Mini Cooper chief designer
Frank Stephenson with the spider's look. (Stephenson has since
moved on to more mundane work within Fiat.) Chopping the top
reduced the F430's aerodynamic downforce, so the spider's tail
spoiler rises to a higher peak to help make back the difference. At
124 mph, the spider is sucked to the road with 245 pounds of
downforce and tracks with precision. Corners are quick work; a hand
twitch cuts the apex, and the body stays flat. Life is surprisingly
quiet at speed. A transparent polycarbonate wind blocker between
the seats helps keep hats in place and the conversation two
settings below shouting. Automatic exhaust-pipe valves turn up the
wail under hard acceleration, but they open later in the
spider--4000 rpm instead of 3000--if you set the manettino to low
grip. The manettino is the rotary switch on the steering wheel that
lets the driver fit the suspension, traction control, and stability
settings to the mood. With the manettino, shift times also vary. In
race, they bang home in as little as 0.15 second for that
extra-quick lap time. At the Motor Car Group, we're enthusiasts
first. We want you to enjoy your new car from the minute it's
delivered and the trailer door drops. Before a car leaves our shop,
it's gone through comprehensively, both visually and mechanically.
We do more than just kick the tires, though: We fill your tires
with nitrogen, road test (if the weather permits us here in
Cleveland!) and clean it inside and out. We buff the paint using a
three-step process immediately before it's taken away so that it
gleams when it arrives. Every car we sell, from Sunday drivers
through the rarest exotics, is meant to be driven--get out there!
