    It's going to be hard to imagine what the new F430 replacement will do with more power, less weight, better traction control, and similar gearbox technology.

    The bar has once again been raised.

    Launch control in the California is basically close to F-1 in terms of operation. It explains the 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds.

    The single dry clutch system probably loses 2 tenths just to get moving.

    The Cali does 0-60 from a standing start faster than the F430, F430 spider, and 599. Wow!

    But from a rolling start of 30mph or more, the Cali is not as fast and comes in second place.
