Completely different leagues and cars. I think the better question is how does it compare to Bugatti Veyron or maybe even a Koenigsegg CCR.

Maybe I'll take one for a test drive should it become available here in Dallas. Owning a nice sports car,or any nice car, here in Dallas is a really bad idea. People don't pay attention on the road most of the time.

If the suspension is done right, it will easily eat the F430 for breakfast (and i have driven an F430 at the track). Have a feeling the trick will be to get all that power to the wheels in a controlled manner as more power is not always better per se, as the supporting bits, suspension and whatnot need to be tuned accordingly. BTW, do not worry about the F430, it has a lot of compromises to make it legal in many countries plus it is relatively mass produced.

The F430 is fairly nice, especially at 1/2 off MSRP or so for what they go for nowadays. The 360s are getting almost cheap and 355 are a dime a dozen sorta, but as many know the servicing cost of a modern Fcar need to be factored in. If you live in the USA, one has to track the car to really know what she can do. Public roadways are too unsafe imho, i learned that the hard way after losing my license driving an Fcar in European fashion on American roads.
