I actually like the wheels. The subtle white on white color scheme looks great IMO.

agreed

same..

Daaaamn. Rims look good, I think it might just be the angle that puts some of you guys off.

[ekguy]

That's nuts. Nice to see one not in red. Red is too common on Ferraris

Love this car in white. A white Novitec 430 spider is on my dream list

White is the best color for a Ferrari!!

Why fuck up one of the most responsive cars on the planet with forced induction? I don't see any upside to the Novitec modifications.. if you really need attention, I'd just buy a Lamborghini.

I like everything about that car in that picture. Including the rims, I actually think it is the angle that makes the rims look good, I'm not sure if they actually belong on that car, I would have to see more pics.

I like the rims, but the rest is even better

Nice! saw few White 430 in Van as well .. I guess since it is white .. vancouver is a better place to drive it .. lol
Somehow .. way more white cars in Van .. not Calgary ..

Calgary is more black and silver . ( well . red in Ferrari )

I have seen a lots of white Ferrari / Lambo / Porsche in Van ..

I know chinese and east indian love white .. when u see a white car, you know either yellow or brown driver ... I just dont know why ..

(even I am Yellow .. I still dont understand .. and I dont drive white car .. )

Nope, side windows aren't right for a Countach. I would guess Pantera.

[soloracer]

Yup, Pantera it is.

The wheel arches are found on the later models (see Joe Lobeus red car in link) The full side window (Countach had 1/2 windows) and the louver on the rear side window plus the rear hatch cover identify it as a Pantera.

I got a ride in the 360 Novitec ZR had a few years ago, and it blew me away. The 430 Novitec looks insane and is incredibly fast, so I just have a thing for them.

It's not for the attention, and don't worry, I won't be doing that anytime soon

I was actually all over the place with that one.. on the attention side, I was talking more about their body modifications, which I am not a fan of. Everyone has their own taste though.

On the forced induction side, the downside I see is that it takes away a lot of what makes a Ferrari a Ferrari.. mainly the instantaneous throttle response. I'd much rather get a 430 Scud than the Novitec twin superchargers on the "regular" F430. There was an interesting article in Evo this month comparing the two, and the performance difference between them is almost non-existent, and with the scud you still have a warranty and some hope of resale.

Most of the body mods are way too much for me, but some parts like the front lip look great.

You're right, and I know it would take away from the 'Ferrari-ness' going with forced induction. I'd rather get a Scud as well, but the other is a close second for me. (I haven't driven either, so it's hard to judge from the sidelines).

FI was good for the F40.

Yep, its a DeTomaso Pantera. Probably early to mid eighties.

the nub doesn't know how to put his license plate stickers on. covered the month sticker lol

[E36M3]

It depends on your personal preference. I'd have to say that Ferrari obviously didn't think so, as they haven't gone that way since. It had so much lag that the power came in a massive surge and was quite dangerous. Progressive, linear power is much more sophisticated and more appropriate for racing and other high performance applications and I think they chose to go that route after the Ferrari F40. The F50 and F60 (Enzo) are clear indicators of that trend, as well as every other car they have made since then.
