Couldn't have said it any better! F430 all the way man, especially if you're picking up a vert. The SLS can't can't beat the visual appeal and feel of the Ferrari.

I'd rather have my sports car developed by Ferrari than Dodge...

No offense to all Viper owners.

F430 hands down. I dont like the SLS looks at all. Ive always said it looks like a Mercedes version of the RT/10. Now I know why.

Anyone else think the front end has a somewhat old-fashioned look to it? Looks like it could be from the 80s or 90s. The rear is nice though. I'm just having a hard time warming up to that huge grill with what seems like an over-sized MB badge.

Both are great
Hi everyone, we are currently deciding if we should get our first Ferrari, or to top off our Mercedes line-up with an SLS. What would you pick? The car would be driven probably 2-3 times a week. No track or any of that stuff.
F430
pros : ferrari, power, sound, elegance, looks, etc etc
cons : no longer a "new" ferrari since 458 is coming out, it would be used (with about 500-2k miles)
SLS
pros : new model, most likely gonna be a one-off model (timeless), power, sound, the doors are a plus
cons : might feel like any other AMG but faster, you can buy a ferrari for this price
What do you all think?

2009 F430
2014 SLS AMG GT
The Ferrari has an unbelievable up-shift bark and scream but the downshifts lack a burble. Very comfortable, easy to get in and out, and tons of aftermarket parts. People ALWAYS stop and stare, photogs are abound and again theirs nothing like saying you have a Ferrari. Now the F430 isn't the newest model out but it's still very relevant. I love the air intakes and just how smooth the lines are. Truly a work of art.
The SLS AMG GT: very awesome car, tons of power; lacks up-shift bark, but the down-shifts are absolutely magnificent! Huge burble and boil-down. I love slowing down for a light because every time I do I'm reminded what I'm driving.
The SLS is much more difficult to get in and out of but once your in, it's as comfortable as any other Mercedes--truly. I just drove 6hours to Naples Florida for a 2 hour meeting and drove back another 6 hours the same day because the drive was absolutely invigorating. -- I know I'll NEVER try that drive in the Ferrari.
In short: SLS is my daily driver and I have no regrets--absolutely love that beast.
F430-- is my weekend car and I love the hell out of it too sooo get both
