    I see my neighbor traded his new 430 for a Superamerica , seems like the 430 was better looking .. is the Superamerica a nicer car than the 430 ?

    Which is nicer/ better looking? It totally depends on personal preferences. No good or correct answer there.

    The SuperAmerica is a limited production car, the 430 isn't.

    V8 v. V12

    not saying I have a preference but you can't argue with the massive amount of torque that comes with a V12

    The Superamerica is a front engined V12 with 540 horses and massive torque, convertible, real trunk, spacious, beautiful and comparatively rare.

    The 430 is a middle aged Dino for all intents and purposes - kinda buzzy like a mosquito, lacking mid range torque, no space for anything meaningful, way to heavy for a mid-engined sports car, looks questionable from certain angles and there will literally be thousands of them infesting the planet in due course.

    I'm not sure why there was even a question in the first place....

    And because of everything you stated SAs are trading at 100k above 430s!

    O.K., I'm confused...I'm not seeing a smiley on what is clearly a tongue-in-cheek post. At least I sure hope so.

    :) :)...

    sorry guys....

    I really like ANY and all Ferraris (even those strange looking 308 GT4 something or others).

    Some people just take things a tad too seriously from time to time...:)
