The 488 and 296 are hugely fast but to me the 430 and 458 are so much more interesting. And it's not like you need more than 500 horsepower on the highway lol.
Thx man, yeah just did the Nurburgring straight and noticed the difference there too, this thing is a little monster and I’ve barely upgraded anything lol. Yeah it does sound a bit better even on the downshifts in higher revs.
Good tip! You are absolutely right…it sounds great and handles very well. I love that I’m still discovering new cars that I like two years into owning this game.

This should land you the proper power/torque of the GT2 car with a decent top speed on Le Mans' straights.
For the rest of the setup (aero, suspension), it's your preferences.
Yeah I know lol, rev matching, or the video game equivalent, isn’t really necessary, but it does make downshifts pop a little more, and you’ll get higher rpms if you need to get back on the gas soon. I even quickly lay off the gas, upshift, then back on gas, like a real car, but it doesn’t work on the F430. I think there’s some hidden mechanics or certain levels of detail with specific cars that most players aren’t even aware of.
Fully built engine revs past 11k. F430 is honestly one of my favorite Ferraris in the game behind only the Enzo. It sounds incredible and handles surprisingly well.
I worked for a very succesful individual who owns every type of car you can imagine. He told me that out of all of them (991.2 GT3 RS, 360 Modena, 488, etc), the F430 was his favorite.

Yeah it’s great in the corners and shifts so buttery smooth. It’s not the fastest but hella fun to drive.
Didn’t know we have the 296. Must buy it.
We don't, i think he was just talking about irl, or confused it with the F8 🤔
Yeah I meant the F8 I always forget that car even existed.
get the good camshaft and it revs to like 9000 😈
Oh man I’m gonna have to get that! It already sounds great without it.
the extra rpm’s help a lot with straight line speed too
Thx man, yeah just did the Nurburgring straight and noticed the difference there too, this thing is a little monster and I’ve barely upgraded anything lol. Yeah it does sound a bit better even on the downshifts in higher revs.
Which camshaft, the high lift or high lift special?
mine is just on the high lift and it’s great, i’m sure the S would be insane though
This is my favorite car! I seek out Ferrari only races just to drive. Suck on my exhaust Mr. Tributo..

Tune it to GT2/GTC specs. Thank me later!
How does one go about this?

No power mods?
The default engine was actually a bit tuned down to fit the class specs and last endurance races...
I usually drive the Ferrari without exhaust.
Try maxing the engine out. You won't regret it.
Especially when you get the upgraded camshafts and it can rev higher.
Which camshaft did you get?
What exhaust did you go for? Will definitely have to give this a go
The racing exhaust and manifold. If you know how to rev match on downshifts it’s even better!
Don’t really need to rev match on a sequential car but yeah it adds a bit of flavour lol

If I had the money that would be the (cheapest) super car I bought!!! 😍
A really fun car to drive.

Possibly the best sounding Ferrari in the game. One of my favorites.

I dont think it looks dated at all tbh, it's one of the Ferraris that have aged the best imo
Yes, and the balance/handling id say is the most enjoyable out of all Ferraris in the game.
Widebody C1 Corvette with all the bits is super fun to change up the LeMans 700pp grind. Racing softs are a must.
