Driving my Porsche down the M1 last night I saw a lot of aggressive driving in effect as a challenge to me. I ignored them. When I drove my previous Ferrari albeit a 348 I had a lot of great looks and no aggression.
That's surprising. I generally find my Porsche is treated as a fairly anonymous car. When I had a 348, even idiots in people carriers seemed desperate to prove something, and same with my 360.Still in many minds about the 430 F1...
I'll write up over the weekend on my first impressions. The initial drive just gives you a sense of what's on offer. The turbo s has been beyond fast and solid on the roads especially when on the continent. I loved it's insane practicality and it's without let-up acceleration. Roll on the F430....
So now had the 430 for the last week and although I haven't gone for any mega drives yet here are my initial reactions:
Makes each time I go into it an occasion
Sounds epic on start
Sounds epic as you move up and down the gears with the F1 magic
Love moving down the gears v v quickly into corners
Rides well on our A and B roads, sweeps through corners
The race seats are good for me slight discomfort then my back it's worked it out
The view from side and rear mirrors are without doubt the best rear view if any car I've driven
Everyone wants a drive in it
I can't stop looking at it
It can also puddle along as well as go go go
The R manoeuvring is ok once you get yourself sorted
Red and crema with red stitching and carbon zone And engine compartment is beautiful
I look forward to some decent drives where I can get to grips with its limits so far so brilliant.
