Congrats. I am one of the ones that own both. The F430 is a total different animal and has its own merits. I do love how that flat 8 sounds at high revs.

From personal experience I predict that after two or three months the F car will be used less and less. Don't get me wrong, it is a great car, I have just found that most days, given the choice I seem to always choose the GT for that Sunday drive...

Seems to always be the case with the Vipers vs the GT for me.

Congrats, I have one also and love the F430. No matter what, there is nothing like the sound and feel of a Ferrari...

I got an F car also and the GT gets out twice as much! I keep the Ferrari battery tender plugged into the dash and leave the kill switch on and never have a problem. Congratulations, enjoy the cars as much as you can!

Like Chris, I have a couple of F-cars myself, but always gravitate to the GT. Have fun, the 430 is awesome to drive, and the sound is even better.

Hey G-Force, I just noticed that you posted a question about plugging in the Battery Tender. I have installed a direct lead with an in-line fuse directly from the battery to hook the battery tender into, as the computer cuts out the lighter after a short period. I leave the battery and do not turn off the trunk disconnect. That way my clock, ECU, etc. all stay "hot". Plus it will help the longevity of your security system, as the integral battery pack will lose its juice without power going to it over time. (That's a several hundred dollar replacement). I have found that my batteries will last years without any trouble even when the car is driven infrequently (as mine are).

I am sure that he did as the only flat was the 12 cylinder in the Redheads

Congrats! I got a Lambo Murci for my GT as a stable mate. I love the Lambo! I will have to get a 430 one of these days. I just think I am more of a Lambo guy ;)
