cdaniels is infamous around these parts
We need the LMS 3.4 500HP V-8 in the 911...I've had 5 911's and my pet peeve with Porsche is our base 911 is underpowered compared to Ferrai, Corvette, etc....we have to go to mods to play catch-up....

A successor for the F430 it is expected to debut around 2010 that will be powered by a 5.4 liter V10 engine with an output around 550-600 hp. The new model will be called F540.

I'll bring the F430 and the GT3 to the 4/13 track day. If anyone wants to come watch the GT3 trounce the F430.
Yeah I saw those pictures... that periodical actually stole them from the guy who took them (and posted on Ferrarichat)

The electronic aids can be turned completely off in the F430, and what's wrong with the 6-spd (3-pedal) transmission? It's as good or better than any Porsche I've driven, including the 996GT3. The F430 is faster at the track than the 996GT3, the 997GT3 is still an unknown quantity. Styling is your choice, but I think most impartial observers would disagree with you.

Is there a V8 small enough to fit in the rear of the 911? I thought the new Chevy V8 was one of the smallest there is.

Well I would take a 540 a 430 or a 360 in a heartbeat but I wont kick the
GT3 out of the garage. We should be talking about how to get both- not one or the other!! Having driven the 360 and owning the 996GT3 with manthey that puts it at around 415 like the 997GT3-my focus is on how to have both.
360-430, whatever. thats my new goal
