And as for the coworker's comment above, after a season or two of track time, you'll be driving rings around his "stallion."

anyway, your car is extremely capable. take avantage of the platform and learn the curves and accelerate hard out of the curves. This is where you'll have an advantage over most cars. forget about the straights. the nerves are on the curves!

Zohan, good for you! I always like to see folks taking their nice cars, Porsche's, Ferrari's, Aston's, or whatever. They are so capable, and there is no way to reasonably explore what the car's can do on the street. Well, perhaps not for more than a minute or two.
I would say that a stock F430 is faster than a stock CS2, but the big variable is how well and how aggressively they are driven. I remember being on track with a race prepared F430 on r-compound tires and coming out of a corner that I took well and being WOT and he went right past me down the straight. Very impressive.
But I have certainly passed more than have passed me over the last couple of years as most Ferrari owners don't push their cars to their full potential.
