hmm..I just called up the dealer after this message to clarify this issue. It was a fault on my part as he clarified that Novitec would provide a 2 year warranty and that the Ferrari warranty would not withstand. Howevr, they will continue to provide me with servicing without any issues. He also says that ant routine inspection would be honoured.
Now with that taken care of,I am in doubt as to get the 656 BHP package or the 707 one.. This is because more power isn't always better + I don't know if the car would handle all the power well.

As per the LP.. I do have that on order but final payment is still to be made.. I wanted to experience the F car first and then a Lambo... So I was thinking that I should get this first and then the Murci SV later next year.. Or may be even later this year..

 

Well it seems to me that you are pretty well off financially, so I would go ahead with the big Novitec kit. It looks great and sure puts down some good numbers. You are going to have an impressive fleet!! Good luck!

 

ecks, I would save the cash and settle for the LP640 with edo competition parts and tunning.

 

To answer you question concerning if it is faster than the enzo or not...

ecks,
The LP640 would be too low for the roads in India. I had a friend who just sold his CGT a few months ago in Mumbai and another who sold his LP in Hyd for the same reason. The standard F430 is higher (about an inch) than the LP or the CGT, so you might do fine with it in the Delhi/Chandigarh areas.
The standard F430 will amaze you with its power. I would try it our first and then later try to upgrade if you want the extra horses.

Hi Shashi. Yeah that does sound good ... But how did you friend get the CGT in India? Its only made in LHD and those cars can not be imported into India.

 

Check the Porsche dealership in Mumbai - its sitting in the dealership for sale!
Yellow CGT. Salman was driving it for a while.

 

I did check the Mumbai dealership when they had the CGT for "display" there. I asked them specifically if it was for sale and they denied that as they mentioned that LHD cars here in India are only for display purposes or can be imported for a very short period of time.
So, I don't know what you are talking about.

 

I don't know much about importing into India, but know of the Yellow CGT imported into India. I guess the owners had them imported in a manner as to not raise the flags. It was LHD not a RHD.

 

Look Shashi, firstly understand this that I do not have anything against the people who got the CGT in India.

Secondly, there is _no way_ that any LHD car be bought into India without the officials knowing about it. Porsche India doesn't service those cars either. Even if they are bought illegally, they will be tracked down sooner or later.

If you want more clarification :

Please see that thread.

I do recall Salman Khan around a yellow CGT in the movie "Partner" .

All in all, the CGT must have been here for either display purpose (which can't be as Porsche Mumbai had the RED CGT on display) or for a limited period of time.

 

IMO you should also consider the negative effect on future resell value if you do go with the Novitec kit as the superchargers will most likely wear down the engine in the long run. And regardless of the extended warranty promise from Novitec, potential buyers will probably shy away if the Ferrari factory warranty has been voided.

A stock F430 is already plenty quick and fun to drive!

 

You can still find the occasional buyer that will buy the car and not care about warranty. Especially in a country where exotics arent as common. And as long as the kit is properly designed, there should be no problems.

 

A novitec 430 would most likely run away from an LP640. The LP640 is a pig with less HP!

 

maybe novitec will provide the warranty like dinan does for BMW? You should ask Novitec.
