The F430 features a 4.3 liter V8 gasoline engine that produces 483 horsepower at 8500 rpm and 343 lb-ft of torque at 5250 rpm vs. the outgoing 360's 400 horsepower and 275 ft-lb of torque at 8500 rpm and 4250 rpm respectively. That means the F430 has a 21% and 25% horsepower and torque increase respectively over the 360. Despite the low torque figures 80% of that power is available below 3500 rpm. Engine displacement is 4,300cc for the F430 up 20% over the outgoing 360 model's 3586cc but weight has only grown by 4kg. This is mainly due to the fact that the outgoing 360 featured the last of Ferrari's Dino-derived architecture, while the F430 featured an entirely new design. With the new design, greater displacement and light weight, the Ferrari F430 is capable of hitting a top speed of 200 mph and going from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds flat, 0.5 seconds faster than the 360. The Formula One (F1) transmission was also vastly improved from the 360, allowing the F430 to make shifts as fast as 150 milliseconds, 4 times faster than a human can blink.

The Ferrari F430 Spider's interior layout is driver designed, body-hugging seats set low against the high waistline, giving you a 'cockpit' feel. It's snug and fits like good Italian leather footwear. Built with a Formula 1 car's precision with the racing seats and sills, the interior of this hot car creates a real sports car feeling.

The F430 Scuderia is lighter (by 100 kg/220 lb) and more powerful (515 PS (379 kW; 508 hp) at 8500 rpm) than the standard F430. Most of the power in the Scuderia comes from a revised intake, scuderia exhaust and an ion-sensing knock-detection system that allows for a higher compression ratio. Therefore the weight-to-power ratio in the f430 scuderia is reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp.

In addition to the weight saving measures, the f430 Scuderias semi-automatic transmission gains improved "Superfast", known as "Superfast2", software for faster 60 millisecond shift-times. A new traction control system combines the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia does 0-60 miles per hour in 3.1 s and 0-100 km/h in less than 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 198 miles per hour.

Honda Accord

The current Honda Accord that was originally released in 2008 is a little bigger compared to the other models. The reason why is because they wanted to move the car further upscale in the market. After this was done, the EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) considered the Accord to be a full-size car, but the coupe to be a mid-size one.

125 SSR Pit Bike

The manufacturer has focused on making the bike as lightweight as possible. This means they are using the highest quality materials and reducing weight by getting rid of parts such as an electric start. The reduced weight means that the 125 SSR Pit Bike handles a lot better than a lot of machines.

SSR-125-Pit-Bike

The SSR 125 Pit Bike uses a similar motor to most other bikes out there. The 125cc four stroke machine provides plenty of power, yet it is still extremely high quality, making is an awesome machine to start mini biking on!

Kawasaki Versys The Secret Dual-Sport Motorcycle

Granted that the Versys I rode last week had street tires on it. Nevertheless, the biggest giveaway was the seat height. Like any good dual-sport bike, this one is tall, 33.3 inches they tell us. Tippy-toes height for anyone with my 29-inch inseam. And how about that front suspension: 41mm according to Kawasaki. The same as the KLR 650 and just 2mm less than the other two dual-sports. But then, the Ninja 650R also boasts 41mm up front. (Gosh, what would that baby be like with knobbies?) Of course the riding position on the Versys is much more upright than on the Ninja, with the grips much higher.

Kawasaki also tells us that the Versys is tuned for low-range torque, so that is consistent with a dual-sport as well. And the compact 650cc parallel twin helps keep the body of the bike slim, also a dual-sport characteristic.
