Why is desirability based upon what your bretheren have? Do you love your wife because she is who she is or because you were the lucky guy out of all of her suitors who were after her? Is your taste shaped by the thought and perception of others?
Don't let your taste be tarnished by relativity, the F430 is a wonderful car by every strech of the imagination, but its greatness does not lie in its scarcity. That is falsely fabricated...
If scarcity is falsely fabricated then tell me how many 911 does porsche sell? I reckon about a tad less than 28,000 and how many F430s does ferrari sell, well a tad less than 5000 i believe, there you go for rarity..
Turbo is a nice nice car..no doubt, I much rather have the F430 in place of it and for true driving dynamics have the GT3 or the GT2..but turbo surely does have the edge when it comes to an all round every day sunshine or rain/snow type of car..i will give it than, besides that, in this test it should have ranked last...
F430 (X factor and somewhat performance)
Z06(top performance and price)
997T (performance)
Everything even, i will always have the point that porsche's are way over priced by atleast 20%, if not more..i think more..but 20% reduction would be just about what they are worth..but that doesnt stop one from buying a 911 if you have the means..then worth really doesnt make sense..
I can get a 430 here in 6 months, built to spec. By the way, Porsche only makes about 6000 Turbos per year and the Turbo is the competitor to the 430, not the standard 911. The standard 911 will compete with the baby Ferrari (Dino?). Also, Ferrari have their sights set on Porsche as a model, which they wish to reach. Porsche is insanely profitable and I don't care if there are 28.000 911's around the world. It's not like you see one every day, unless you live in LA, SF or NYC. So much for Ferrari. Only more desirable in the States, while the rest of the world isn't like that (at least not in Europe).
The C6Z is an awesome car, but I would like to see a braking test, where they brake from high speed (150 mph+) repeatedly. THIS is what matters, not several feet from 60. That is, unles you like to street race. I'm pretty confidenrt though, that Porsche will send the powerkit on the market soon enough, to deal with the C6Z. Anyway, the Turbo is powerful enough as it is, and if that 1,5 seconds mean so much to you, then go ahead and buy one, the Corvette is a great buy, but quit pounding on Porsche. They are playing in league with Ferrari, not the Corvette.
