    Im having troulble in deciding between either one of these cars, I just cant decide between the two. I've driven the 430 in the Grand Tour Special event and loved it, but i havent driven the 458 yet.

    So my question is does anybody have any advice on which to buy?

    Can't remember too much about the 430 but i bought the 458 and it's amazing. Probably my favourite car that I've bought so far. Just don't forget to buy soft racing tyres for whichever you buy.

    I got the 458 too, serious car. On the Top Gear power lap times, the 458 is only .1 of a second behind the Enzo.

    i actually tried both around laguna seca before and a fully tuned up 458 is around 2 seconds a lap quicker than a 430.

    i went ahead and bought the 458 and I love it! quicker than i expected it to be actually. Im afraid to tune it yet though, sometimes i think it wrecks the car a bit when you tune it too much..:P

    My 458 is tuned, got everything for it and its a beast. Doesn't ruin the car at all.
