Help Josh to pick the 360 or 430 please

F dealers have a specified sales area, but some are much larger than 150 mile radius and some are smaller.

 

I just put a track video from my 430 Spider up here: 430 Spider track thread. Note the 996 TT I go by in the session. Maybe this will help your decision. BTW, 430 is sharp in handling but surprisingly comfortable. It is also loud at 6000 rpm but quiet at 3000 rpm.

 

No question go with the 430. No doubt it's the better car and gets your heart pumping more so what's the decision really about ? Both will depreciate after a couple of yrs. So it's only about the DIFFERENCE in depreciation. Not worth going w/ your second choice IMO. The difference in depreciation with the 360 isn't worth the difference in the amount of fun you'll get driving and owning the 430 vs. the 360. You buy a Ferrari with your heart and a volvo with your head. ...Life's too short, yada, yada, yada...

The 430 at FoLI is gorgeous.

ps: The 430 is not as loud as the CS. Not even close.

 

My advise from being in your position....Drive both and NOT for 3 miles and you will be much more able to decide. Logically is the F430 worth 80K more probably not. (Current)Market value, yes. Is it worth 80K more to you, you will after the teat drive know yes, no or maybe. If it's maybe, then and only then will you need more time to decide.
With that being said 1 year ago....After driving the Murcielago, it was worth the trade difference that Nelson wanted. I knew after the test drive. After living with 2 AWD cars, I was ready for a change.
Like I have posted prior, I enjoy the chase ofter more than the catch.
The last catch, the F-430, was very much worth it!
If you decide on the 360, you won't be sorry.
If you decide on the 430, you won't be sorry.
In no means am I trying to be funny, but both cars are fantastic cars.
My wife usually never says pro or con on my cars, but after a 20 mile trip 10 days ago, she stated that she likes the F-430 much better than all my prior cars to date.
Good Luck!!
Anxiously awaiting your decision!

 

My 360 did not have Daytona seats. The 430 seems quieter, but then again it's been over a year since she rode in it. Maybe she likes yellow more. Maybe she likes the F-1 as she might want to drive this one. She's on her way to our Condo in Florida and I'll ask for more input.
In 4 short weeks, it is without a doubt my favorite over the Diablo.

I might be bashed on this comment, but the F430 seems just as fast as my Diablo. I will not track either to prove it.
