Only Ferraris track, where they can be tested under the strictest of Ferraris rules, with their test drivers, so that they can get the absolute best numbers which no one else can achieve.

Then you bring up best Motoring? A totally made for entertainment scenario at best, and even then the Ferrari got killed by just about everyone, and you say only 3 seconds behind? LOL

My guess, is that when real tests hit, the 430 will be a 4 second 0-60 car, 0-100 in 9 sec, 1/4 in the low 12's at 118-119 mph. Quick, but not that quick.

As for the Gt, i love lamborghini, and am not a real fan of the Gt, but the Gt cannot be denied its performance crown, as it will not beat, it will DESTROY a 430. Shouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath.
Yes the downhill will make a difference, but if you consider the Enzo times at Fiarano every single time was replicated or beaten by the R&T test except for the 0-60 where it was off by about a tenth.

There is no reason the F430 shouldn't be able to essentially replicate those numbers. There will be variance obviously, for examply Murcs get 0-60 times between 3.5 and 3.9 when tested. If it isn't it isn't, but right now the F430 seems noticably quicker than the Murcielago so even if these are at the extreme maximum end of 430 performance it could still match the Lambo.
