The Fcar was obviously toying with you. If he wanted to race, you wouldn't be making that comment. If you get the chance, drive one. You'll be very impressed by what they can do.

3200/480 == 6.66hp/lb (F430) - 7:55 (4.0 0-60) 4300/560 == 7.68hp/lb (M5 F10) - 7:55 (4.4 0-60) ... logic say M5 need 645 to match F430 Now ... I still would like the F430 over M5 as fun car ... no doubt, but passion != performance (but man passion matters quite a bit) |

Also, which one is better to drive? A light mid/rear engined car, or a front engined yacht? I find the M3 too big

that's the thing though. Feel and precision is getting more and more lost with every new generation.

In a nutshell:
1. The F430 is a Ferrari 2. The M3 is a BMW Draw your own conclusions. CA

If someone had to come over to me and tell me I could have his F430 or his M3 but couldn't sell either - I'd take the M3.
Cos no way could I afford the maintanence of the Ferrari (the one I really want ) Call me a schizo, but two of my favourite cars are the F430 Spyder and F430 scud and I would spend ages to decide between the two. |

Those two models you mentioned are also different from each other.... The Scud is designed with more of the track in mind
