Damn, those are some seriously impressive numbers! Good job Ferrari...I guess Porsche and Chevy will have to work that much harder on the 997 Turbo and C6 Z06.
I'd definitely like to see these numbers verified at another location by another magazine, but I'm sure there can't be more than a few tenths difference, which still makes it an incredibly quick car.  8)

Isn't bad? ...i would rather say it's more than good  as it is almost as fast as an SLR.

Re: F430 0-60 in 3.5 from Car and Driver magazine

1/4 mile in 11.7@123 mph

Remember they have done "3.3" with 500ps version Ford GT, and 4.0 dead with 997 Carrera S -- no other testers can do quicker than 3.7 in GT and 4.5 in 997 S.
But keep this in mind: Road&Track did exactly the same figure as C&D on F430, and F430 can beat F40 in acceleration.

The thing that is the most impressive for me is that it can hit 100mph in just 8 seconds...That's faster by a second in comparison with the gallardo :shock:

Yeah, 3.5 secs is pretty god damn fast. I don't know if the Ford GT will be able to content with this. I think the Ford GT was created to fight the 360, I think initial test has shown that the F430 definitely out class it. I would definitely like to see a head to head comparsion.

It only does 3.5 second zero to 60 with launch control. You can only get launch control in europe. For some reasion L.C isn't available in america for reasions regarding the warranty. W/o launch control it does 3.9 second zero to 60mph.

^Wait for some independent Ring times for the F430.... that would be the true challenge to the Porsches.

I'm not gonna trust R&T's or C&D's times at all  It's a megaquick car, far more so than any of its competition, but i'm gonna wait for some "proper" magazines to fully test it

Have to agree with you on that. 3.5 seconds seems to fast, but its still good for some Vette bashing threads........these might come in handy.
