Well now to some real, day-to-day truths instead of the usual journalistic nonsense! Read & Weep I have 2 friends who both own Stradales (as well as both owning Enzos), and these guys use 'em each Enzo has 15000 kms + and one of the guys is already on his 2nd CS as the first one had too many kms on it for his liking! They recently each took delivery of their F430s and their opinions are identical. To meander around town, go out to dinner, use as a daily driver the F430 is great. The extra torque is useful, the CS-like gearbox is super BUT, and it is a big full-bodied BUT, in terms of sheer driving excitement, liveliness and whatever it is that leaves you breathless, the CS is in a class of its own. They both comment that the F430 is somewhat "sterile" wher the CS has soul. Both have F430 spiders coming in April and feel that the improvements will be better suited to the spider as it's use is less "intense"

Whats the consensus here?

good point... D'oh!

I'll comment.

I think the 430 will be faster and better even as a track car overall.

The fact that you can change the suspenion settings will make a world of difference.

But it won't be long before there are hundreds, then 1000's, then 10,000's of the bloody things.

Boring really.
