F430 or 360CS?
Hey Guys:

I'm curious as to what you guys think about the F430 v the 360CS? How do you think these vehicles compare to one another?

I'm right there
in Europe I can walk out of the showroom with either an F430 or 360 CS, I've thought about this a lot and whilst the dynamics of the F430 are undoubetly better the 360 CS is far more beautiful and raw !

CS is just more visceral (no carpet, sound deadening, cabon fiber instead of leather on the doors to bounce sound instead of absorb it, etc).

can't go wrong with either, very tough decision ... I change my mind every minute between them. I'd slightly lean towards the 430.

Well Forza says "..xxx.."
and R&T says "...xxx..."
MT and C&D agree on "...xxx..."
F-chat.com guys all agree that "....xxx...."

The culmination of those opinions is what helps me form my own, which is, I have the same dilemma, which is better?
