    I may be one of the Shortest lived 360 owners on this forum ! so after 17 Porsches and 1 360 I now own a F430! and love it!!

    I need to get used to not heel toeing I automatically want to roll foot over to blip throttle! lol
    Guess two stupid questions ...

    1.do i have to lift to up shift or should you do?
    2. when at a light or stop put in neutral like a stick????

    I know the sound ignorant but just curious?

    I will post pics soon pretty clean car!

    Haha, I saw your posts Matt. How long did the 360 last!?

    You shouldn't have to lift at all when shifting with the 430 F1. I used to put it in neutral (360 F1) while at a light but most say it's completely unnecessary. Just keep your foot on the brake otherwise the car will beep at you.

    Congrats! Enjoy the new beast.

    No need to lift off the pedal. The F1 is smooth as silk. At the lighhs, foot on te brakes like they said above, else it will start beeping at ya.

    Smart move. As I said, being a Porsche guy, the F430 is the only model that can give you the same type of performance as a Porsche.

    Matt,

    Congratulations. Hold to that F430 a few weeks, until you get the Scuderia.The Scuderia is the only car that will blow away everything Porsche you have driven (including your former trick GT2 now in my neighborhood).

    1. No need to.
    2. No need to either. The clutch disengages when at a near stop, or full stop.

    pictures?

    of course, it went to my friend Peter, and recently it changed ownership. Eddie is the new owner, and he just had it at Sebring a week ago. I met Eddie a few months ago. Both of them very nice guys. I just saw Peter 2 weeks ago.
