Had the car back for a few months now, and it's running great.

We had a few small issues to button up, exhaust cutouts weren't working correctly. Just turned out to be a set screw that needed to be fixed, so no biggie there.

And I was having some issues getting the cog drive supercharger belt to behave. But we also got that solved.

It's been bulletproof, and I giggle like a little girl every time I fire it up.

Here's a little video of a drive around town for you.

WOW...........what a beast

And love your EXOTIC collection of cars.................

Lol.. I'm not sure if 2 qualifies as a "collection" but thanks. Great cars, I'm absolutely in love with the F430. One of the most pure, responsive perfect cars I've ever driven.

Man, that is some beautiful scenery where you live!!! Nice car too!!! What belt issues were you having and what did you do to rectify them? I have a cog setup and haven't had any issues (yet) but if I encounter any, I would like to have some heads up on fixes.

Love the sound of that cam and the sound of the car for that matter!!! One bad ass car!!!

Ivan @ Southwest Speed · 10-17-2012, 02:51 PM

Very nice! I was just waiting for you to let that baby eat! Sounds great. Another righteous Camaro.

Congrats on the good build again!

Thanks.. yeah it is a beautiful area.

The belt was riding up on the tensioner pulley and eventually shredding.

Turned out, it was my driving style. I'm used to downshifting into corners (driving a Ferrari on the track) and this was overspinning the blower and seemed to be causing some belt flap (which allowed it to ride up)

Changed how I drive.. and no issues.

Guy in that SUV probably crapped himself as you blew by hahahaha. So badass.

Hey dude. I joined this forum just so I could tell you, this passed July I went to the spanishfork, utah car show and seen your car. I took multiple pictures and couldn't stop staring at it. You're car is sooooooooo bad ass. I love it. This may be a seriously stupid question but what path do I need to take so I can afford things like that one day.

thanks man

Is it better if you let it warm up a bit before you drive off. How does your 430 compare to your Lambo. Great toys.
