Well, very different. The Porsche is obviously much faster with the mods I have done, but the f430 isn't far behind, it's got a few mods intake, exhaust, ECU so it's actually surprisingly fast. The f1 tranny is absolutely incredible and the suspension and overall feel is superior to the Turbo. Overall it's hands down a better car as far as overall driving experience, the sound and feel is incredible. On the downside, no NAV or cruise, and the risk of breaking something is always in the back of my mind where as in the Porsche it's the last thing I think about.

For a weekend drive the 430 is insane! Track days and a little fun on the streets, the Turbo all day. The head turning and neck breaking is pretty nuts though, you def. have to be in the mood for it because it's kind of crazy - everyone taking camera phone pics and revving their hondas at you...It's fun though, but I'm not always in the mood for the attention.

Thanks for the response, I'd love to own one, I think with the prices driving south and the new replacement model soon, it won't be much longer....
BTW, great job with 360 Forged, you've got everything working your way! Congrats man
