997.1RS trade for F430?

[911Thrasher]

I have a 997.1RS (currently for sale at mr911.com) - would you trade it for a F430?

Something like this: F1 and bucket seats

Or what about manual, the last manual Ferrari?

Also, can a roofrack be fitted: i do use my RS on surf trips! Yep this is true!

Thrasher, you really do like a bit of babying dont you !

IMO, Yes, any day of the week

As a fan of aircooled cars the 97 is just ordinary to me, albeit very competent.

The 430 is an event and also a better more compliant road car.

If youre into trackdays though then i woudnt go near a 430. Or rather, run a basic elise or caterham for that alongside the 430.

Im glad youve changed your choices around again though, it now officially makes you worse than me.

Did you drive a 360cs btw ?

360CS amazing sound of course, feels special...but very hard to find within RS budget!

All the advertised ones are low mileage, red and in the 100k budget. Hence the 430 question.
The only reason i need to change is because of the amount of travelling i do, and really need the reclining seat for the wife...oh and she hates the rear spoiler and reminds me of it each time we sit in it!

So yes need a change even if dont really fancy one - RS does everything i ask a car to...bear the reclining seats

Would swapping her seat for a reclining one not be an option?

Fitting non-standard seat is a little of a no-no for me - my car is 100% standard, intend on keeping it that way. I might try the "airplane neck cushion" for her!

Note: if anyone has a CS and fancies a swap, let me know...or if for sale in the 70-80kGBP range.
