I think it's a pretty sweet deal for a mere $185k. F430 performance for the price of a 360 Modena. I think Ferrari might feel it in the wallet once it hits the market. Plus you might actually be able to modify and work on it yourself, unlike its Italian counterparts. The only thing I don't like is the "Raptor" part. Why not just leave it at the S5S?

I rather save some more money and get the F430.

Also we girls have a secret suspicion that men who drive cars that look like that are attempting to compensate for falling "short" (ahem) in other areas...  Whereas men who drive classic-looking muscle cars know they are super-sufficient in all areas. 
lol Amy I thought that only pertained to lifted trucks?

That car is sick! 650 hp, 200+mph and a 10 second quarter mile for under $200K is not bad! Yea I know the new Z06 is close to that but definitely not as exclusive and good looking. I think this is a great new market Saleen has entered with this vehicle...If only I had money....one of those in black would look rediculous!

Abbas,
If all you do is complain about your Saleen to everyone, you should probably sell it, save your pennies and try to buy the F430
I wasnt complaining about my Saleen. I was saying that if I had $180k to spend, I would rather buy a Ferrari. There is a reason why the F430 has a 2 year waiting list. Also you have to admit that Saleens DO NOT have a good re-sale value.
I'll give you that Abbas. I once dated this girl who's dad owned 2 Ferrari dealerships (yes, he had an Enzo) and the 430 was by far his favorite care to drive.

No....no....no 
When the GIRL dumps the guy, it is because he WANTED her to so she would have better self-esteem and retain the respect of her friends
Jazzer feelin' it today, but when Amy gets through with him, will be "feeling" something else
