Welcome to FerrariLife, Neutoy! Since you are not too far from D.C. (my area), I'm sure you're sick of all this snow every couple of days and itching to get that baby on the street. My advice is to definitely wait until the following rain day which washes the salt off the roads, and enjoy that car to your heart's content.

I am a big fan of the 430 (timing chain), and definitely the F1 model. Oh, and we NEED pictures

Have fun jumping in to post anything you want...you're an Owner!

Email customer service at Ferrari and ask what the options are on your car. They shoudl provide the information. Regarding the car, suggest you sign up for a track day to find out just how good it is (and the limits).

Neutoy,
One of the best pieces of advice I got from a member on here. He said, "You do not own a museum piece. It is just a car. They made thousands of them."

Changed my whole outlook on ownership. Enjoy it my friend!

Unless you have a gto then it's worth about 30 mill. But welcome and we'd love to see some pictures of your 430.

Looks great. Now you just need the temp to notch up a few degrees.

Enjoy the new toy....
