A c6 convertible is estimated at about 3199 lbs.



A 360 spyder is 3197 lbs estimated. (dry weight is 2976)



Both are 400hp v8s.

400lb-ft of torque as compared to 275



Now let's compare.

Now let's compare.

But.....The 360 Spyder comes with something the Vette doesn't....A Really Really big P***Y Magnet.

I'll take the Ferrari because it's a complete package with an excellent interior, a mid-engined layout, exotic styling, exclusivity and beyond all that, it's an investment.

But nobody would ever cross-shop those two cars. The Ferrari is several times the cost.

I know they don't compare in terms of price. I thought we were talking about the experience here!




Amen @ the p***y magnet comment

kind of tough to compare experiences the two offer because so few people have F430 or any other Ferraris for that matter. All most of us can do is rely auto-journalists who are all just as human and biased as we are. That being said....I would love to hear someone compare, objectively, the two cars on a track and real world driving.
