    Was wondering if anyone with a good pic library would be kind enough to post pics of strads and F430's showing similar size and angle so that comparisons can be made.
    TIA

    OMG! That is one hell of a garage. F430, 360CS, 993TT, M5, and CGT. Do you have any others?

    I like the F430 over the CS. Is that siverstone? One of the best looking f430 colors.

    Amir, I'd like to know what your opinions are on the two cars. If you had to chose between one, which would you keep and why? What car do you find more aesthetically pleasing?

    For me, I've always thought that the CS with the rockers and front and rear bumper coming down lower and with an overall lower and aggressive stance was the better looking car. Now I don't know anymore.

    I've got to say that the more I look at the two cars the more I like the F430. Still, the side view mirrors, the rockers and front and rear bumper looks better on the CS. I think just about everything else is an improvement on the F430. The F430 has a better looking rear, especially the rear hatch spoiler lip (which is slightly higher). The engine bay L and R diffusers look better. I don't really care for the F430 sideview mirrors and the front bumper though.

    Peter,

    I'm in the same boat as you buddy, that's why I have both. But If I had to make the tough decision, I think I'd go with the F430. Not because it's better than the CS but because it's different. For me the F430 is more luxurious and a bit more comfortable and having the CGT cover my street racer needs, the CS would be the one to go.

    Aesthetically, the F430 has REALLY grown on me. I was looking at the pictures I posted and can't help but look at the F430 more. It just seems to have a lot more detail to it. Just my .02 of course.

    Overall, both are unbelieveable machines.

    Amir

    The more I look at these, the more I think the CS is has better lines. Sorry 430 fans.. the nose alone is enough to tip the scale to CS.

    What do I know? I drive a GT3!

    Wonderful collection!

    One question though… how difficult or easy is your CGT to drive compared with the CS and the 430? I know that it is an awesome car but would you recommend it as your first sports super car?

    Thanks.

    Thanks again guys for the kind words.

    The CGT is very user friendly and IMHO there is no better car to own.

    After seeing Amir's post. I have to say the F430 looks more aggressive, it's simply gorgeous.

    Hello All,

    After looking at the picture comparisons. I have a question for those of you that either currently own both a CS and a F430 or have owned the CS and now own the F430. How do these two cars compare? Good points, bad points, driving and over all feeling the cars bring to you?

    I am thinking of buying one of these two cars and I am just starting the process and would like to hear any of your thoughts.

    Thank you in advance.

    Not sure, I've heard that rosso corsa which in the flesh is a deeper (marlboro) red comes out orange in most pictures. The car in the pic has an orange tint to it which makes me think it's a rosso corsa. I've also heard that the rosso scuderia in real life has an orange tint, but tends to come out blood red in pics. Then again I might be misinformed. I'm sure there are plenty of corsa and scuderia owners here that could tell you what it is.
