Very true, Grant... but speculation is FUN!
OK, then I will give you my GUESS:
The GT3RS will have 425hp and weigh 3,100 lbs with DSG and PCCB.
The F430CS will have 525hp and weigh 3,200 lbs with F1 and CC brakes.
I think the F430 will win (and cost alot more).

The 996 GT3 RS beat a 360 CS round the Nurburgring by 2 seconds (www.track-challenge.com). But what about the 997 GT3 RS Vs. F430 Challenge Stradale? Which would you say is faster and why? Which one would you pick on a track day and why?
Ferrari took a much bigger HP jump with the 430 then Porsche did with it's 997. The 360CS vs. the 996GT3 RS will probably be closer in HP then what the 430CS will be compared to the 996GT3 RS as Grant already posted. So if both cars are built and both are built with equal % amounts of incresed power etc. of their 360 and 996 counterparts then the 430CS will be faster.
But to answer your other question about which one I'd pick for a track day - I'd pick the Ferrari even if it were slower around the Nurburgring by 2 seconds. First off that's a virtual tie, depending on a lot of factors either car could beat the other on any given day. (I don't know all the details, driver, conditions, etc. of that test) I'd pick the Ferrari mainly because of the fun to drive and sensory overload factor.
