It's not inflation as much as the weak dollar at work here.

point is your tire theory is as yet unproven though it's probably not far off, if at all.

I love the 360 and the 430, I would be happy with either. The CS is more raw and less refined. The f430 is refined yet raw in its own way. I do think we will see a 430CS in the future which will be a big hit.
F430 comparible to the CGT, definetly not. Sports Car vs Super car. ;0
Id take a F430 in Pozzi Blue with Creme Interior with black daytona seats, Get Capristro exaust and call it a day.

For sure I am just speculating, didn't mean to make it sound so absolute. We'll find out in due time. I'm betting on the 430, though, with its hp and torque advantage.
