00:00Today we're gonna be showing you something on what it's like to drive

00:03something very awesome fast a lot of luxury but for the most part definitely

00:11fits the word exotic and aftermarket take a look at it guys we got a Ferrari

00:16f-430 hey everybody welcome back to what it's like to drive and I feel like this

00:30is a special episode today originally we have thought about calling this may be

00:34pre-owned exotics or aftermarket exotics because this rings every bell when it

00:39comes to it but let's be honest Ferrari f-430 this is kind of Ferrari's

00:44epitome of driving cars back when the rally world started when everybody saw

00:50the big driving events came on this car led the charge it had a lot of upgrades

00:55and different things that had been put in the car by Ferrari to make it even

00:59more driver friendly than any other vehicle they had made before now the

01:03beauty of this car is it also has a lot of aftermarket work from fab speed done

01:08to it you're gonna see the exhaust you're gonna see some other crazy things

01:11to it but most of all the sound if there's one thing that these cars have

01:15to have it's sound and this car rings all the bells it's just performance

01:21ready so the thing is is I'm both a little worried and a little excited to

01:27get in the driver's seat take it for a spin and see what it's like to drive so

01:31today as always we're gonna show you what it's like to drive what are the

01:35cost of ownership as I giggle away there and lastly are there any pitfalls any

01:40things like that that you have to worry about if you wanted to own your own car

01:44now things are gonna be a little bit different today because a lot of this

01:48stuff is not made for normal people I'm living a midlife crisis right here right

01:52now it is what it is but it's something that if you are looking for a vehicle

01:56like this I want to see if it's something that you should consider I

02:00have a feeling what the answer is gonna be but otherwise let's check it out

02:04right now hey everybody we're in the driver's seat of a 2006 f430 Ferrari now

02:12the reason normally I have these cars started up by now one of the reasons I

02:16don't have it started up right now is because I think you should hear the

02:18majesty of this car starting even the moments like this make this car

02:24everything it is

02:28I was like looking for the button to I'm like oh there's it over here this over

02:32here okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna baby it oh my god

02:40everything about this car just says power probably a smart idea to put this

02:45on so this has a fab speed tune fab speed exhaust fab speed a lot of stuff

02:51here so not only am I getting an f430 spider so we're gonna drive with the top

02:56down but I also am gonna get it with performance stuff and it's in race mode

03:01so pray for me no that's the thing is this is my first time in an f430 I'm

03:07used to fast cars like this so I've driven Lambos I've driven Ferraris

03:12before but each of these cars has their own little characteristics that make

03:16them kind of their own thing which I really dig but I just want to be

03:20everything about careful here

03:32all right so I'm gonna start off that way I guess man this thing just wants to

03:38get up and go that's incredible

03:46so 600 horsepower we got here

03:53and I'm still driving careful

04:01see as a driver goes I love the smoothness to it I love the the kick

04:08that you have but there's a real linear feel to these high revving engines it's

04:16just an experience and it's not an experience you're gonna get on a lot of

04:21cars we drove some of the other cars that had these rough suspensions with

04:27them and and these things man this just doesn't feel like rough or doesn't want

04:35to beat me up so yeah this road is pretty bad not the worst road I've ever

04:39driven on but as a whole it's not exactly the friendliest road and you're

04:45gonna see a couple of bumps you're gonna see a little bit of the walking with the

04:48the camera and stuff but when it comes to the seating position not having any

04:54problems whatsoever it's just a great little drive and it's just amazing that

04:59this has 600 horsepower that you can just kind of get in the pedal a little

05:05bit and know where you're at that's the thing that I need to say is is that you

05:12don't want to get into this and go take off the second you get in it and get

05:16crazy with it it's something you want to just kind of get used to and you know

05:22just get in the drive and feel it and enjoy it but this is one of those cars

05:27you get in it and just man I can just drive for hours I love the radar so if

05:33you get one of these you got to have radar you got to have something I don't

05:37know maybe it's just a rite of passage everybody I know has ever had one a man

05:42what a comfortable drive it's amazing that you can just

05:47you get in this you want to drive forever like it just it's an experience

05:52potentially religious too

06:01I got the old tenant too it's not my car it is what it is

06:06one of the great things I like about this car is you get in it you press the

06:11gas the second you hit that gas it wakes you up I don't care how much cups of

06:16coffee you've had what you've done prior the second you press that gas

06:20you're in it and you're ready and funny thing is is I always see people who have

06:25these they drive like a hundred yards away from the guy in front of them a lot

06:31of that is because of rock chips and other things but it's so funny when I

06:34got in it it was like well it's not my car I still feel like doing

06:41that downshift man is just incredible so if you don't like attention Ferraris

06:49probably not your car we've gotten honks we've gotten looks we've gotten

06:55everything and it's not like we're the quietest thing on the road so basically

07:00if

07:10man right up the rpm scale just poop poop poop poop poop

07:16shoot I'm telling you you don't pay attention to this you're suddenly going

07:20a hundred miles per hour

07:23the man I am I gotta say I'm ready to review this just so much different than

07:44any car that we've driven before and that's just the way it's going to be

07:48it's always going to be this way these cars were designed to be powerhouses

07:55they were designed to be fast and just crazy fun to drive I just have to tell

08:04anybody if you have a chance in your life to drive one of these cars you got

08:09to take it it's just just to see the difference between everything or even if

08:15you're a designer and you're like tuning your car and you say hey you know

08:19what I want to know how to do mine like hey this is a great example so all right

08:25we're ready

08:30okay so what is it like to drive manifique it is absolutely it's a

08:38driving experience oh I think even in one of the driving things I actually

08:41said it was religious it is one of those cars that really takes everything

08:47you've heard about cars throws everything performance-wise it puts it

08:51in a perfect little box to be driven now 600 horsepower is not something to be

08:58scoffed at I've driven 600 horsepower plus race cars and they didn't feel as

09:03linear power wise as this one thing that I used to say a long time ago as as they

09:09upgraded exotic cars was that the problem was that it was too easy to go

09:15fast and this is a perfect example of that it took everything within my power

09:21not to put the gas down with a redline around 9,000 RPMs with all the

09:26aftermarket work it's been done to it and the linear curve that just made it

09:31so easy to drive yeah I literally could have fallen asleep doing it it's a

09:37cruising 600 horsepower car and I don't think there's a lot of cars that could

09:41say that this was a driving experience we took it on a really rough road that

09:46just was supposed to beat normal cars I tested with my Genesis and although my

09:51Genesis was a little rough on it it just was totally different I have all this

09:56dialed-in suspension and this thing just beat the junk out of it it just

10:00embarrassed all that aftermarket work that I did and this is from the factory

10:05like that so other than the Fabspeed stuff the Fabspeed stuff is done to make

10:09power it's done to be performance oriented so that was the crazy thing we

10:14got in this car we took it down the road press the gas go press the brake stop

10:19the paddle shifting thing really easy to learn literally and I have done it in

10:24the past but even when I've done it in the past it's been three seconds of

10:28getting in the car pressing the buttons and you know what to do it's actually

10:32scary easy so like I said if you're looking for a car especially an exotic

10:37f430 is the car to consider definitely on the list it definitely got a 10 now

10:42the thing that I have to say is that as a daily driver may not be the car to fit

10:49that bill but as the kind of car that you're going to take out and have fun

10:53with and you know what there's a lot of people out there that will take these

10:56cars and try to daily drive them you know what if that's your thing I don't

11:00want to stop you because it's you know what I drove it and I would like to

11:04daily drive it okay so what is it going to cost to own your own Ferrari f430

11:10well expect to pay about a hundred and twenty thousand dollars for the car

11:14right now and remember again right now we're in a buyer's market so there's a

11:18good chance you probably will pay more that's also based on this car there's

11:24also $13,000 worth of fab speed stuff thrown into it for flavor and I hate to

11:31say this but you've heard how it sounded you heard how it drove I don't know I

11:37think that's pretty much a no-brainer and if you just spent a hundred twenty

11:39thousand dollars on the car hey what's another 13,000 I know I say that but a

11:43lot of people that spend that kind of money go hey you know what maybe I don't

11:46want to spend the extra money you may want to spend the extra money just for

11:51the experience and the idea that it really there's a lot of things that

11:55have done to these cars restrictively that really take them way lower than

12:01what they should be and some of this aftermarket stuff that they put in it

12:05really springs them back to life and makes them alive and purposeful what

12:10they were meant to do so that to me I just think is a no-brainer but hey

12:14that's just me it is what it is so but yeah so if you're gonna buy a car like

12:19this expect to spend that much and yeah hopefully you're gonna do some

12:23aftermarket work and make it sound perfect okay so what are the pitfalls

12:27what are the things that you're gonna have to do with this what's the service

12:30gonna like so the owner of this spends about a thousand dollars a year doing

12:36maintenance he also knows how to do his own maintenance let's just do the

12:41reality that there are things on this car that can get very expensive if they

12:45break but I'm hoping that you do the maintenance that you need to do to keep

12:51up with it so if you're spending the money that you need every year you

12:55should be getting ahead of everything that's a problem for it but a lot of

12:58people will hear those numbers and that's not the numbers that they like

13:02here's the thing do the research so if you're looking to buy a car there are

13:07places that you can call to say hey I'm looking to buy this car I want to know

13:10what it's like to do the work on it the other thing is is when you're buying a

13:14car like this you want to do what's called a PPI so a pre-purchase inspection

13:18so when you buy a car you bring it in the dealership looks at it they get a

13:23good usually about $250 they give you everything that the car is going to need

13:27before you purchase it you can use that as part of your negotiation however you

13:30want to do it but that's the thing is is you should know exactly where the car

13:34sits when you purchase the car obviously there are times when things are not

13:38going to go perfect but the idea of be ready for a purchase like this and the

13:43idea that it's an investment of love one thing that you're going to see here

13:47is this car is diamond perfect with from paint to correction and all that other

13:51stuff and that's because when you buy a car like this you're going to want to

13:54put the love in so now you don't just have the service you want to do the

13:58detail to it you want to keep up with it don't try to dodge stuff or try to take

14:02shortcuts this is not the car for it so that's that you just precision cars

14:07anything precision you're going to want to keep it on the edge and when it's on

14:10the edge you want to make sure everything is dialed in perfect so but

14:14by the right tires by the right stuff a lot of the things that go on these cars

14:18are specific to this type of car so it shouldn't be that hard but that's the

14:24thing is is you're always going to be tempted and I would hate for you to be

14:27tempted so here's the thing keep up with your maintenance make sure before you

14:31buy that you have a pre-purchase inspection so you know what you're

14:34getting and then make sure you either have a detailer on call or you know how

14:37to detail it yourself I think that's pretty much it for the long run I don't

14:42think there really is problematic as most people say and as for the other

14:47thing I don't think the cars ever caught on fire and to be honest I don't think

14:51that's the thing anymore so in fact I don't even know if it was a thing back

14:54in the day there was a time when heat shields were against catalytic

14:58converters and there was a time when certain cars caught on fire you know

15:02what just do the research yourself on any car you're buying and you should

15:06know what the pitfalls are before you get there and you'll notice a lot of the

15:09stuff that they have are just missing things that people who put out there

15:13just for the fun of it so whatever it is when you buy it if you get the good car

15:18you're not going to regret the purchase so that's it for today for what it's

15:21like to drive I hope you enjoyed it I hope you enjoyed this f430 I certainly

15:26did so what's the scores for today obviously based on price they would push

15:32the down because it's not really an accessible car for everybody but as a

15:36whole a plus plus car the only downfall it really has it keeps it from being the

15:41best in the world is because I'm not sure it's a daily driver I would like to

15:46say it is but not really sure so and the thing is is I've never really owned one

15:51to test it out there's places in here that water can get in the daily abuses

15:56of the roads that we have especially around here just want to beat cars up so

16:00I don't think I'd daily drive it all the time but it definitely when it came

16:03to weekends I'd take every opportunity that I had to get in that driver's seat

16:09and drive and really driving less than an hour would be just disappointing

16:14because this car is made to drive no matter what speed it was that it was

16:19comfortable no matter what it did it was linear power it was enjoyable it never

16:25got scary it was just all the things that people warned me about it wasn't

16:30any of it and it was perfect so like I said this is my first time driving at

16:34430 and definitely made the grade so I mean look at it brakes the look I mean

16:41like I said if you want attention this might just be the car for you thank you

16:46guys tuned in today we're gonna continue our search for the next car the next

16:50thing the next whatever it is at this point I don't know this is gonna be a

16:55real tough thing to beat but you know what we will find something and when we

16:59do we'll show you what it's like to drive
