2010 Ferrari F430 Spider Review

[Administrator]

The magnificent charcoal black metallic 2010 Ferrari F430 Spider attacked the sharp right-hand corner in third gear, cresting the leeward side of Topanga State Park at full song. My neck muscles strained in anticipation of the next curve as the harmonic resonance of pistons and camshafts reverberated off the rock face in glorious accord.

A light touch of the F1-inspired paddle shifter and fourth gear engaged just prior to redline. The glass encased V8 engine barked an obedient response, building once again to a climactic crescendo as I held on for the ride of my life.

A quick left turn was followed by an even faster right and I had just enough time to check the mirror for any signs of flashing lights as I reached for fifth gear on the short uphill sprint to the top.

Reaching the summit, I briefly entertained the idea of selecting sixth gear, but all thoughts were quickly dashed as I pushed hard on the brakes and came to an immediate, blood-rushing-to-my-brain stop. It seems even in the mountainous back roads around Beverly Hills and Bel Air; nothing stops the fun of driving an exotic sports car faster than a good old California traffic jam.

Daggone, if I didn't feel like I was in the passenger seat! Great review of any car! Funny ending, but having been on backroads in the canyons, I can attest it's a true scenario. Now, if I can only find a way to get a 430 of my own.
