The Ferrari is the hot nympho ballerina with perfect arch and toes, proudly showing off her perfect legs... Porsche is the female violin soloist performing while secretly wearing a crotchless leather thong, mmmm both are eager to let their perverted dreams come true...

ferrari: the cheerleader. pretty, yet dumb. popular, yet mainstream. everybody wants to go out with her, only to find out she's not all dat.

Not to hijack your thread but does the F430 feel as fast as a 997 GT3 for street driving?

Hard to say, I don't drive anywhere near the capability of the cars on the street. Each one of them can easily get you to triple digits fast enough to get thrown in jail.....

Ah, now that I am a Ferrari owner, I will not date cheerleaders. No, it's strictly F-1 grid girls for me!

I did a 60 mph roll on with a F430 and an '11 Gt3 RS, and much to my surprise it was a dead heat. Both cars are amazing in their own right.
