Yes, I think that is the best swap...and a lot cheaper...the CS is just down right bad ***. Evo did a great comparo a while back w/the 6GT3 and the CS...CS took the day, but mostly on emotion...
BTW...nice new ride, enjoy it in good health....

Very nice trade but I have to an observation.
You went from a GT3 that can be driven, should be driven and doesn't mind too much on the miles it racks up as long as they are not too crazy to a car that looks great in a garage(as most are). Do you plan on putting some miles on this baby? It is too nice to look at it and drive it 1000-3000 miles a year.

Lots of interesting comments....thanks. When I bought my 1996 F355 in 2004, it had 8500 miles on it. In the two years I owned it, I doubled those mile including lots of track days.
I don't buy cars to look at.....I buy them to drive. Why else have them?
I pick up the car today. Can't wait. It's raining today. Oh my GOD...a Ferrari will get WET? Oh NO! Yeah, well, it's mostly aluminum so rust isn't going to be an issue, and last time I checked, the car DID have operational wipers, so it's just going to get wet. Hell, it will be sitting outside most of the time anyway.
It's a car, it won't melt, and I plan to drive it as often as I can....in everything but snow, although I'll try it in the snow at least once just to see how it does.
If all you want to do is look at them, isn't it cheaper to just stop by the dealer once a week and look in the showroom window?
None of my cars have ever been garage queens, and I sure don't plan to change that now.
You know what, life is just to f@#$*ing short to not drive cars. And everyone has their own opinion of what is a nice car to drive and which car brand is better, etc. OK, that's fine, but as long as the person who owns the car enjoys it, then who am I to judge them?
The GT3 is an amazing car...just wasn't the right one for me. Maybe the F430 won't be either, but I'm sure gonna have some fun finding out!
