Now you've gone & done it. Up until now, you were a happy porscheaphile, & if you hadn't had that one day stand you would've been an oblivious p driver. But now that you've opened pandora's box, nothing good will come of this. Next thing you know, you'll be divorcing your porsche & moving in with an Italian sexy girlfriend named Ferrari. Whoa is you.

Oh and throw in scarface, goodfellas, Heat, and Platoon just for good measure.
How about subbing Full Metal Jacket for Platoon.

But it was just a test drive. You date a Ferrari but marry a Porsche? I can take my 997 just about anywhere, I wouldn't dare with an F430.

Not worth 300K for 50 more I would buy a Carrera GT.

Fabulous and fun, but not a replacement for the P, more of a complement.

You are correct, BOTH is the right answer. Two different cars/emotions/experiences.
The 430 is done in Sept. 08, NO EXCEPTION!!! (in America)
THE car to get if you only want ONE is going to be the 430 Stradale, it will be officially shown in Frankfurt.
Lord only knows what your going to have to do to get one though!

Fack! I've seen Pulp Fiction a million times and watched it less than 3 weeks ago! How could I forget- its early in the movie when they're talking about the infamous 'foot massage' that got someone thrown from a window!

The F430 is to the 997TT as the 997TT is to the ZO6.

The 997TT might be a little faster than the Ferrari but the Ferrari is in a class by itself.

Just as Turbo owners should give props to Z06, so too should 360/430 to the Turbos. Great cars all and if you have the coin to own more than one then you are doing it right. There's no shame in having just one and enjoying it for what it is instead of what it isn't.
