I love the E55, want to buy one but the quality and reliability sucks, since I wanna buy I dont want to be in the shop all the time. What a beast. How do I buy a GS430 or even a gs460 when you guys are hitting the sweetspot with these vids.

Again... 360 = Hottness!!!

AMG E55 = Practicality and stratospheric performance in a nice roomy package!
sure they do... E55 is to F360 what EVO is to E55. And I am sure that E55 guys when spanked by EVO, rumble something about cheap cars, FI and not being fair :-).

Sorry, I just dont see point of Ferrari dissed like that. No wonder new 360 will get V10 :-)

I could have sworn the F430 was the 360's replacement.

Yes the F430 is the 360 replacement. There are rumors around the net that the next gen will have a V10 to compete more fairly with the V10 Gallardo, Aston Martins, and other higher powered cars.

yeah the f430 is replacement of the 360 (of course i know that), but saying the 360 will get v10 thta's kind funny when it's 430 now already. plus, even the 430 is using a v8 right now, no v10 yet. it's just rumors so far

I would guess it's clearly a chop judging by the 52" rims

successor of 360 and 430... Sorry, I dont think of any Ferrari as "old" model :-).
Of course, main reason for V10 would not only Gallardo, but the fact that V8's have become pretty common...

Then again, who knows, F1 moved to V8's now, and F430 V8 is nicely improved over 360's...

Also, too bad they only make the RS-C2 in 19" or 22"... I think a 20" would look a tad better, but I suppose a 19" would work

I know exactly what you mean! Of course it's been a while since I first considered this wheel @ 3 yrs ago now (damn time is flying!). I actually emailed them directly (out of England I believe) and they gave me 1 US distributor. They were out of FL I remember, and the guy confirmed in fact they were the only ones, but he emphasized that it would take "a while" to get them. Discouraging to say the least, but at the time I reconsidered them for my Z but opted for the Antera's that I got at a sweet deal. Plus I've seen them on 911's in European mags and on a S-Class. They look 10x better on a sedan than a Sports Car IMO. Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
