    im curious does the torque of 430 push u the seat type of torque....the reason i ask this im really close to buying one and i have spotted a couple of 430 6 speeds but i dont know if i will be disappointed after a few months of ownership....i have never driven neither 6 speed or f1
    430 only have driven f1 360 spyder and i thought its good but not really something that excites me,

    thanks in advance

    If the F430 doesn't float you boat, few cars on this planet will.

    The F1 shift at the redline between 1st and 2nd in Race mode will make you wonder if you've been hit in the rear.

    A 430 has significantly more torque than a 360. The power difference between the two is noticeable. However, it doesn't have the massive low rpm thrust of a Porsche Turbo, Corvette, Viper, etc. It does have good torque, though. The 430 is a fast car (plenty fast for the road, IMO), but if you want to put your foot down at 2500 rpm and feel big cube or turbo torque, then you may be disappointed.

    That's a fair comparison.
