Just finished the AutoWeek article on F430
Wife had to get me a drool rag. Damn. What a nice package. Now they're talking about a daily driver in the same sentence as a Ferrari! Love that. Nice article about the drive, the sensations, the features, the sound.
OK, you guys taking up a collection yet?
Sorry Darren, had to do it. What a stunning car. Yeah, I'd take that. 6speed though, not ready for F1.

Hey Eric,
My wife saw the article and SHE said she wants one. She is not even a car nut. So I might have a green light on this one, but still satisfied with my 996TT.

As for daily driving, the 360 is one of the most comfortable, easiest to drive sportscars. The ride is far better than my TT and the clutch is light and requires little or no throttle. Now, if it only had a cupholder!

The CS is an unbelievably great car. I don't see the 430 even competing against it. I think the 430 is more dual purpose, suited to an occasional track day, but more comfy on, say, a drive from LA to SF. The CS is pure track day or canyon cutting fun, not so suitable for a day-long drive. I don't know if you weighed them there would be that much difference. FChatters who have weighed their CS report it's heavier than Ferrari says, not so much lighter than a 360. If memory serves (and lately it is not serving so well) it was supposed to be 250 lbs lighter than a 360 and is closer to 150.

I'm sure the 430 will grow on me, but for the time being I think the exterior of the 360 is prettier. With the 430, it seems Ferrari is trying to incorporate too many angular design elements, including the Enzo tailights, that don't flow well with the curves of the 360. The interior, on the other hand, is a work of art!
IMO, the CS is the ultimate 360 in terms of design.
