    F430 will get more power 500hp

    I heard today that all '07 models will receive an upgraded software to opt their HP to 520 HP. mainly to keep up with the new Gallardo and mostly with the upcoming 997TT.

    Cool! Where did you hear that from? It's quite unlike Ferrari to change the spec so early in a models life.

    Hope its not like the "extra horses" the 360 Challenge Stradale officially got in paper, these horses seems to thin out quite a bit from offical figures when placed on a dino.

    Re: F430 will get more power 500hp

    April Fool's Day is most likely explanation....

    Gallardo has had 500hp+ since launch 2+ yrs ago and it's clearly a sales failure, w/a downward sales trajectory. Power, great exhaust note and N-ring time w/o steering feel, brakes and daily useability may not be enough to sell cars (despite no wait lists; discts to MSRP and 0% financing )....

    997TT is likely to be a brilliant "competitor"...but also "only" <500hp...many 430 buyers will also buy a 997TT or 55/65 as a daily commuter car anyway....
