Neither for me. I would go older.

that is soooo much better looking
I don't think you'd go too far wrong with either, although that 430 looks like its sitting way too high. Looks like a kit car.
This article shows just how underpriced the 360 still is, a manual non red car can be picked up for around £65-70k which is a bargain compared to a manual 355 or 430.

Manual F430 for me ! 
It is the last manual mid-engine Ferrari. With that great N/A 4.3L V8, playing with that gearbox is just pure HEAVEN.
The 458 is a fabulous car of course, but the F430 does feel more analog and raw. And with the 6-speed manual, that transforms the whole experience.
Only 5% of the F430 built world-wide were manual. So, a very rare car. Rarer than the Scuderia indeed.
You guys must test drive a manual F430, that's an astonishing machine.

The 360 Modena has aged very well and become a very pretty thing in it's old age but the F430 (at least in non-Scuderia form) looks a bit like it's been scrunched up. It's a bit frumpy, especially with the Challenge wheels.
I certainly wouldn't turn it down if someone were to gift it to me however.

As a car for driving the 512TR is apparently leagues ahead.
I think the 512TR got the styling right too. All the best bits of the Testarossa but with a little more refinement around the front and rear. 512m front end is a bit more of an aquired taste. I blow a little hot and cold on that one. Would happily take any of them mind 
or you could save £30k and buy this one - http://www.thboler.com/used-cars/7629595-ferrari-f... and not be afraid to use it, the trouble with a 7k miles car that you'd bought of the top of the market is that you'd be terrified to push it past the 10k miles for fear of what it will do for the value...
i wouldn't be buying that black 458 either, the Red one though at £10k more looks a much better proposition IMO
