Have an order for f430 currently. Looks lovely in the flesh courtesy of Gumball. But personally I like track honed road machines as a rule, hence GT3 and M12. Will the 430 be that or should I look at shifting to a Challenge Stradale?

I am in no rush.

Thanks

Then you could get yourself a nice 430 Challenge car, mmmm!


Just I like it on the road too. Sorry should have been clearer, basically is the 430 a 'performance' road car, or a track focussed road car?

Blimey!!! - I have to know, S3am - what is your profession?? You're building up a dream garage there?!!


Diesel 306 mit drainpipe exhaust and Saxo VTR are an integral part of any dream garage. Excuse my being coy about other matters!

I understand the 430 will be very good on track. Like the 360 before it, but the 360 was not focussed that way, and I worry that the 430 in its initial guise will not be either, not to say it wont be fast/capable thereupon.

ie of the 360 range I would want the CS, will this mean I would want the 430CS, or can the 430 bridge the modena-CS gap?

Quite right, asking more out of interest than anything.
