I love convertibles and own one (M4 vert), so if you live in the right place and enjoy top down driving - which is a thrill - then you have your answer.
I can help you on the F430 choice ... I've always wanted one of those, just sell it to me at a discount for the great advice and be done with it ;-)

go out in the morning just before sunrise. Shouldn’t be much church traffic where you’re at haha. Find a slight downhill and or over pass to flat ground. Start at 45 in 3rd and let off at 135. Try about twenty or thirty pulls and see what you get. Have fun!

Just wondering what folks think about the Litchfield treatment of the Carrera T?
Just Google ‘Litchfield Carrera T’ for three or four good reviews.
They are a tuner based here in Gloucestershire in the U.K.
Am considering their chassis/handling modifications. Then perhaps later their engine work, maybe with their Akrapovic or Remus exhaust mods.

Exactly, there's nothing that isn't bolt-on that Litchfield did. Engine mods are just: headers, high flow cats, muffler, and tune. The suspension is a slight drop, slightly stiffer, and I think they added 10mm spacers to increase the front track? Oh yeah, a short shifter.

New shorter, stiffer KW springs. Drops car 20mm at front and 10mm at rear, so similar to GT3 ride height I’m thinking. 7mm spacers all around. Solid bushes.

For the shifter feel go with a Numeric Racing Shifter with Shifter cables. I did their shifter along with a Function First Transmission mount and metal ****. This made the shifting A LOT more solid in my 7sp 991.1 S. I assume our transmissions are similar. The cables just came out for the 991 and that will be my next upgrade. Between those bits, you should get the shifter feel you want. Also I got the FF transmission mount. I went with their softest one which gives a touch more support, but makes t he drivetrain feel a lot more solid and responsive. If you are ever in San Francisco, let me know. Happy to let you take a quick drive to get the feel of the shifter and transmission mount.

Hi. If that question was directed at me, I’ll be getting Litchfield here in the UK to do the work. I’ll post more detail tomorrow in a separate thread.
