I think your doubt should be between the Carrera GT and another car, not the 430, because the differences between them are not just the higher image that the GT is having over the 430 but also the huge difference in price, power, and perceived image..... if you don't have money enough for a GT get the Ferrari but if money it is no object... I think it is obvious that the CAR is the Carrera. Now if you make the question again as Carrera GT against Enzo or Pagani Zonda or McLaren SLR, or a Koenigsseg.... that it will be something to talk about.....
