Hi there

Normally over on the Porsche forum, but a friend of mine took me out in his Challenge Stradale on Friday and I'm still grinning.

F**K ME! That's the fastest thing I've ever been in, probably as quick if not quicker than some of the bikes I've had.....and the noise! Oh my god!

Just needed to get that off my chest.

They're ok as a stopgap 'til you've saved up for a 430 (with carpets)

as I've said before, if I had the money, thats what I'd buy. I think they're pretty much perfect.

Although the F430 has grown on me and Gallardo Spyders are gorgeous...

Ah! "F360 CS accelerating ... nice sound".....thank you. Now I can relish that noise forever - just need to find the PC speakers to do it justice

Interesting that there's a couple of people on PH that have them - my mate's obviously not the only person with way too much money for his own good

I have to say though that I'm not sure I'd actually want to own one unless I tracked it regularly - just too frustrating to only be able to use it to around 50% of it's ability (at best I guess).
