Wow. That's a lot of car. Too much that I can handle. P97 GT3 is fine with me.

Highly unlikely. The power to weight ratio doesn't justify that kind of difference, and the Green Hell doesn't have enough very slow speed corners to place the four wheel drive at such an advantage over the F430 e-diff.
I put it down to the Porsche factory taking the Nurburgring as it's home track; whereas Ferrari test drivers spend most of their time at Fiorano obviously.
That's a track where experience is everything, seeing as it is so long...

I don't quite see it that way.

While the 430 is a pretty car to many,it is NO race car (ALMS versions excepted).

e-diff ("little man" whatever) is little different from any other car's yaw control, F Marketing notwithstanding. C&D and MT didn't even bother to test it in their shoot-outs because the game is up. It's pretty but not really fast .

Perhpas the Scudaria will prove better, but F has a nasty habit of sending "ringer" cars to the rags and giving us its ordinary rides.

The 430 is no match for my RS or Z 06.

GT-2? The 430 would see it at the start and at the watering hole afterwards.
