A 12.2@117 $200k car is a dog. That's not fast.
I'm sure it's a hoot to drive compared to a lot of cars. But if you're looking for a vehicle that you step out of and think "wow", the 430 isn't it. Maybe it was in 2006. But compared to the 458, GTR, McLaren, etc, it just falls short. |
There is so much more to a car than mashing a gas pedal. (Although the F430's loud pedal works just fine)
The F430 handles better than either the 560 or the 550.
It doesn't feel like your enemy at the limit, like the rear-engine 911's
It doesn't do most of the work for you like a GTR.
It connects you to the road better than any AMG I have driven.
And it doesn't have the e-diff issues the Cayman S has.
I have never driven a 458, or a McLaren
I was choosing it over the other cars I have actually driven and said so in my first post.
