As for any of you still believing the drivel about F car maintenance costs, nah, not true any more. I don't spend any more to maintain the 430 than the P cars. No warranty issues, 1,000 track miles, 7,000 miles in all so far.

As for bling factor, at least here in the bay area there are so many exotics and near exotics that F cars are no big deal.

I had a CS before - perhaps more analogous to the 3 or RS, but I found it 1) really noisy inside all the time, 2) not much low end thrust - at least compared to the 3/RS/430, 3) too raw for my old bones, 4) gorgeous.
