Well the original Ford GT40 was designed and built to beat Ferrari... and the newer Ford GT had the same aspirations.

I'm not sure with the lap times... really, the F430 handles extremely well (very light goes where you point it) i expect the Stradale to be much the same... but i've not driven the Ford GT so i can't comment on the comparison.

I know on the Top Gear test track, the GT beat the standard F430 by a second, but it only beat the older F360 CS by 0.4 so if the newer F430 CS is as good as they say then i'd be putting my money on that.. after all Ferrari reckon the F430 CS is as fast, if not faster around Fiorano as a Ferrari Enzo... which beat the Ford GT by nearly 3 seconds.
