One of three other cars I put in the same league as the GT (also the 911 GT3 and Audi R8).

Congrats!!

You reversed what I did. I got the GT to keep miles off the F430. I have 23,000 smiles in 18 mos..
You will love it! I hope you got the F1, it is the best feature of the car.
Enjoy the ride!!!!!:wink

Gorgeous car in the perfect color combination. "White Petunia" has the identical car which was staggeringly beautiful to see in person. Congratulations :cheers

Congratulations on your new F430! Did you get F1 or 6 speed? I own both cars also and I am very interested how you will compare the two cars after you have had some time in the F car.

You will love your F430. :cheers

I went for the F1. As a life long 6 Speed guy, I wanted to try something new. I actually like it alot more than I had expected. It is great on the track and on the twisties.

My F1 430 is just collecting dust (which it does quite well since it is black). When given the choice on what to drive I find myself always choosing the GT. Love that F-car exhaust though. I'll be interested in your thoughts after about six months of ownership. Congratulations. :cheers

I also picked up another horse recently. Traded in the F355 and a 996 GT3 for the Stradale. I have not pushed the Stradale past 150 MPH yet but its handling is first rate, has more than enough power, the steering is telepathic, but the ride is Lotus sport suspension harsh, but it can definitely holds its own against the GT in all categories except straight line speed. OK, which car do I take to Car and Coffe tomorrow morning :confused

Oh, the agony of the choice.

Great looking Stradale. Absolutely one of the most attractive late model F cars.

Still took the GT this morning. :banana
There's another car show tomorrow (Best of France and Italy) in Van Nuys so I'll take the Stradale then.
