I know some guys who own both, F430 and Ford GT, another a 360 Modena and Ford GT. I own a F430 manual shifter and if the Ford GT is faster I really don't care, I don't need a faster car, seriously. The F430 is faster than my skills and I don't want to crash it, go to jail, get someone hurt or worse. It's easy to build a car to beat one that is already out there, even Ford had some 360 Modenas and studied the hell out of their design. I know of some mechanics who have worked on both cars and they said the Ford was very 360 like on some things...
On the other hand I met someone who has almost owned every single exotic built in the last decade including the Enzo, Veyron, SLR, Carrrera GT, 360 CS, Murcielago, LP640, Gallardo Superleggera many 360s and 430s with a 430 Scuderia incoming... This guy said that the Ford GT was a piece of crap, so he leaves me wondering if he is just a poseur, I don't take his word as one with wisdom and lets just say that an owner has an opinion, but that is just that. The only way is for one to drive them and appreciate the great cars that they all are. I like very very much the GT40 and the Ford GT including well built replicas of the GT40. And that Ferrari was beaten by the GT40, oh well everybody loses at some time. In Daytona Ferrari took 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
