Fun with a Ferrari F430! (video footage)

So, a buddy and I were at a light admiring a C63. Then out of the blue this F430 with paper plates comes screaming off the freeway. Our jaws dropped! Followed by an immediate high five. I told my friend to start recording on his phone asap. I chased after him to let him know it was on. We approach the next stop light but, I don't make it in time. I drop to 1st gear anyways and nail it when I see him go. Here is the video.

Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend!



Before any prancing horse fans get all riled up. Nobody is saying an E55 is quicker, faster or better then a F430. This was simply a stop light race and the mighty beast was able to hold its own against a well respected exotic.

Sorry I missed your reply. Thanks MJ50! Yes, but he was not pulling away. I'm guessing he lifted when he got into 3rd. I slowed down after but he refused to pull up again. Nothing but empty road ahead of us. Instead he swerved right and turned on a random street. You tell me...

Why does it seem like I'm trying to sell this... It's just for fun. Just enjoy the video and think what you want.

You sound so tough behind your computer screen. You're scaring me! Hopefully we get to meet the next time I visit Palos Verdes. Oh wait that's where you're from. Oops did I say that? Did I ever mention I used to live there too? I know the area quite well...I hope you are this funny in real life. Make sure and say hello if you see me! Toodles.

Max is cool. What's wrong with having a little fun and laughter on the streets? Not everyone here is uptight and stiff, some just like having fun.

Thanks for posting Max.

+100000000000.

Not a definitive race as OP stated but good to see the E hanging with a remarkable exotic.

Oh hey Alan! Nothing wrong with having a few laughs. I had an absolute blast the entire weekend and this was just the cherry on top.


So true, I guess some people are very negative and that will manifest through the forums sometimes. Try and lighten up guys, we are all enthusiasts here.

You are entitled to your opinion as well. I can respect that.. If you know me I don't act fake in real life or the internet. People can say what they want. But, you should not dish it out if you cant take it yourself. Besides, in my book if you have the ***** to insult someone be prepared for consequences because not everyone will just heal over and let someone attack ones character. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks cahiil55k and jikjak!

Of course that part of Mexico looks all the same to me......
