Love the sound of the engine
Where does it say that the F430 was modified?
500hp/485lbs tq vs 483hp/343lbs tq. The Vette even weighs less... Dump all that power into the F430 and it would do wonders. I hate to admit it sometimes, but Ferrari is simply amazing.

I didn't see it mention it was modified.
And rev, I think you're just trying to spark another Z06 vs. F430 debate.

Yes it is, Road and Track(guests of quatrroruote at the time) did a comparo between a few cars including the F430 and Zo6, they did it on a test facility/track owned by the publishing company of previously mentioned magazine.
Lap times:
F430:1,17
Zo6: 1,19
(gallardo was also faster then ZO6)
0-100-0 times
F430: 12.5
ZO6: 13.1
(Gallardo and Ford GT also faster then ZO6)
Top Speed
F430: 195.9
ZO6: 197
The F430 also pulled more Gs around the corners, was faster at deaccelarating, and had a higher speed at the Start finish, Highspeed section and low speed s turn by 3-6 MPH....

Oh also, F430 is faster in 0-60 0-100 and 1/4 mile...

My info is from Road and Track who tested both cars and as far as i know are less biased then Ferrari or Chevy.
Here are the times... 0-60 for F430 3.8, ZO6 4.1
0-100 F430 8.3, ZO6 8.9
1/4 mile F430 11.9, ZO6 12.2
Although the Zo6 was 4ft better in 60-0 braking. But then it was 6ft worse in 80-0.
But to the ZO6s credit it was .1 MPH faster in the slalom.

Road and Track is a joke. Motortrend got the car into the 11's and the fastest time for an all stock C6Z is an 11.3 driven by ranger of corvette forums. There were C5 Z06 running 3.9's in the 0-60 and the C6Z is tested to 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.
I find it very odd that one magazine had the F430 ahead by 2 seconds and the other had the C6Z faster by 3 seconds as the car never gained any time in the turns on the Z.

Who did all this testing?

Motor trend did the testing and Ranger is a private owner of a Z. Car and driver has the Ferrari at 12.5 at 116 and the Vette is 11.7 at 123. Your numbers dont even make sense why would a lighter car with more torque and horsepower get beat from 0-60 and the 1/4. The Z06 traps around 124-126 on average.

Or perhaps you only believe the numbers that you want to believe. You and slicks should get married.
