The 430 would be my choice if price was not a factor, but it seems that even new 360's are fetching $30k-$40k over list. I would think a new 430 on a lot would be going for about $230k-$240k. You could probably get a new Gallardo for $180k-$200k.

same boat here mansour. however, u have to think about it realistically. to get even ur name on the 430 list is tough enough & plus the $ u're going to pay. for sure if u have connection with Ferrari i'd say go for the 430. have it for few years most likely u won't lose a penny. but if u don't, Gallardo is a bargain, which u got the look u need & the performance. personally, i'm still down for Gallardo. keep in mind those car is for the look & it'd never driven like a Porsche, so i'd always keep a Porsche in the garage.

F430

Not usually impressed by things from ferrari other that f40,f50...but the technical specs and looks of this one are an absolute stunner.

On a list, and hopefully will have one in year.

Not sure about F1 vs manual...175 milliseconds is a slow shift, and I like the idea of heel toeing this one.
