Default Drove an F-430 and TT Porsche 911 today

Talk about an amuzement ride for adults? I had the opportunity to drive a Ferrari F-430 and a Twin Turbo 911 (AWD) today. And when I say drive, I mean drive. I am talking about tire squealing, WOT driving!

Both cars are pure sex!

No. Cause the Ferrari is Italian and the Porsche is German - lol.

Actually, I could not wipe the smile off my face.

The 911 is certainly more of a daily driver then the F-430. But the Porsche is actually faster and launches better.

We were doing brake launches on the thing. Just hit the brake, smash the gas, and wait for the twin turbos to build to 18 lbs and then let er rip. The AWD makes that thing lurch like a rocket ship.

The Porsche is a $130k car and the F-430 is around $275k.

Both cars are badass. I'd take either one. The only thing about the 911 turbos is that they don't sound very good with exhaust. Now a GT3 with exhaust sounds awesome.

I have driven a 06 Viper though and that thing hauls ***.
