Given that the F430 is two years old now - their shouldn't be one iota of doubt with regards to its performance against its Italian counterpart, but, there is.

The turbo doesn't have the F430's cachet. It never has and never will, but, that was'nt its intended goal. Performance was alway Porsche's claim to fame. And now that seems to be in jeopardy. I'd say that's a little disappointing.


First of all I agree with you that its a little disappointing but thats because Ferrari have made a great job with the F-430 compared with porsche but still
the performance figure of the 997TT is better and that "we think" talk is because it haven't been tested yet
you know how close the Test track result between the 996TTS and the F-430

and sence the power & performance figure of the 997TT compared to the 996TTS is way better thanks to VTG charger and improved networked technology and the mechanical and electronics improvements on the Tiptronic gearbox and the the lighter body not to mention the Sport Chrono Turbo package that switchs PSM, PTM, PASM, to a sporty mode and the Overboost function
But who knows maybe porsche have made a better job with the 997TT maybe there will be a bigger gap between the 997TT and the F-430 ?!
