Maybe if he can feel the power for himself he might get hooked and buy another car. This time to race and tinker with.

Then once he starts buying parts you can ask him about them with a hint at getting one for you too.

There....that's a plan!!!

Yeap, he took my evo for a drive at 400 miles and I almost flipped out. He was amazed at the power, but he said that the e-brake was very weak. I didn't believe him because I've parked on driveways that were very tilted and my brake has served me well. Anyway, so we kept arguing about it and then he said fine I'll test it out. I was like "no no no no," and then he did it. We were going about 25 and he did a massive E-Brake skid on my flipping new car . I haven't let anyone drive my car since . I see new tires + new wheels in my future at his expense .

But yeah, the good thing about my uncle is that he doesn't mind "testing the limits" of his cars, so I can't wait till he finally has it broken in by the weekend. Not to say he beats on his cars, its just that he isn't afraid to use the car for what it was built for.

Yeah, the sound is really nice, it is somewhat unexplainable. BUT, when he reved it too much, it was truthfully painful. I got a headache, but it was worth it . I was going to get the revving on tape, but I missed the opportunity.

I honestly don't think driving the F430 will be a big deal to your uncle, so be sure to drive her hard.
Thanks . Oh, and I think I'd drive it if I were in some empty place. I think its too nerve raking if I go on the highway or the mainroad. Wouldn't want to end up like this poor, poor 360 challenge...

LOL The second to the last pic - brakes are too small . He had to sell original 6-pot brembos with perforated brake discs to buy the Phantom
