What would you rather have? F430 or R8 V10 5.2?
Just a random question, what would you rather have and why?

Gotta agree with @lulz_m3. R8 is a nice ride, but it's not a Ferrari.

Yep, it is a FERRARI! Audi looks cool, but in comparison too "conservative / boring" in design Originally Posted by lulz_m3

mp4-12c, but it would be a hard decision. There's a lot to love about a 458...

I would go with a R8 V10 if it would be driven all the time. However if it would be a weekend toy the F430. Now if you added the MP4-12c I would pick that no question. Not even close.

For some reason, I keep gong with the R8. I know it's not a Ferrari but it's new. the f430 is pretty dated, its like 8-10 years old now.. I think the R8 looks much better than the f430 as well, but that's just me. Two of my buddies had red f430's said it was a POS with so many problems. @Sticky Gintani tuned one of those f430's actually.

MP4-12c is the best car I have driven.... I only need to con the boss lady into letting me spend the 1/4+ of an M bar and we are set... Ferraris out here are more common than Corvettes with the over 55 crowd but sadly they drive them around like Nancy boy twats

The 1st question is are you modding the car? If the answer is No, then the Ferrari easily wins. If Yes, there are a lot more high-priced exotics hat are better options -- Lambos, McLarens, etc etc

F430. R8 is just meh in my book. Sucks on the track, not very exciting to drive. I've never driven the f430, I'm sure it's better than the r8 tho.
