The car that made me sell my Boxster S

Nicely done, Webster!

I don't get it - why would someone put an F430 kit onto the body of a Boxster? Weird.

Nice job Webster! Looks great and I bet it's even more fun to drive!

[Ronzi]

Very nice.
How do you like the F1 tranny?

hey! they forgot to put in the shift lever!!!

jk

At some point before death I will add a prancing horse to the stable. Even if just for a year. I was watching Barret Jackson and they acutioned a cut Daytona spyder for nearly $200K. So maybe these cars are good investment if even a hack job Ferrari costs more than the average home after 20+ years.

Orange side markers????? Man... when will they learn? Id get some clear ones, or red, even yellow would look cool.

Not on a US-spec F430 . The European model has launch control, which will give you a perfect launch (and a 3.5s 0-60 time), but Ferrari deemed that too risky for the US. Apparently they were afraid of getting sued over it.

It's weird, though. My Gallardo does have launch control (not that I've had a chance to use it yet) and so does the 360 Stradale and Ferrari Enzo. They had one of the latter in the shop when I was there to pick up the car today. Holy schmoly, that car is wicked.
