I'm not sure about that... a lot of people here have some great cars, but I am happy with my little stable <gr>
Please come down anytime. I'd love to show you around.

Chuck thats the beauty of both I guess that the 430 is civil yet it can get nasty and the CGT is just raw it is the closest thing I have been in to a true race car...I have been in the Enzo but it was the dealerships so we need not push it like the CGT which was my Uncles until he sold it..
A Lambo might be the final addition to round it off huh
Either way you have a fine collection of old and new...enjoy

The comparison to the Carrera GT is inevitable and I have to say I am having trouble with it myself. The F430 is more civilized, has more room and is much easier to get into, but the GT still goes faster and drives with more confidence. The 430 is really eerie as it shifts itself. I could see the F430 being more of a daily driver, but the GT would be more amazing on the track or when you wanted to push it. It seems MUCH more stable than the F430.
The real funny thing is that they both have a glorious (but different) song coming out of their engines and...neither one has cruise control!
Most of my other cars have upgraded aftermarket stereos, but in the F430 and C-GT I have no desire to upgrade them. (They do both have factory subs and upgraded amp setups) The music is the really sound of the engine!
now, I just have figure out how to get a Lambo. <gr>

Excellent color combination.. and the stitching on the dash is rediculous!
You have got to love Ferrari... the little details make them so oustanding. The horn location is one of my favorites. Do they still have that distictive Ferrari horn sound? The last one I heard was a 355.

Chuck,
Congrats! Looks like I will have to drop in again to drive that bad boy!
As far as the Lambo goes my choice would be a Diablo 6.0 unless you really want to get crazy and get a Murcie Roadster or the new 640 is pretty awesome!
I will gladly help you spend your money!
