The Ferrari's magnificent-sounding engine and lightning-quick gearbox aren't just for show, the F430 cracking off 0–60 mph in just 3.8 sec. and the quarter mile in 12.0 sec. at 119.6 mph. From 5000 to 8500 rpm, the Ferrari revs hard; if you're in that range at full throttle, you better hold on, because this car is going to take you for one helluva ride.
As would be expected of a Ferrari, the car is also amazing when the road starts to snake left and right. The F430's steering is incredibly precise, perfectly quick and the feedback through the leather and carbon-fiber steering wheel is superb. Although the front end can occasionally feel light, in general the car is well planted, with minimal drop-throttle, mid-turn, tail-will-come-around antics. It's not as easy to get in and drive as an Audi R8, but once you get used to the car's limits and slightly more nervous nature, it becomes a more willing partner.
