I went from an Honda S2000 to a 2006 M6 then picked up the F430 and now the new M6.

I still have both M6's and the F430 - I'm pretty used to the weight of the M6.
(In other words the weight of the newer M6 was no surprise).

As far as comparison between the F430 or the M6? Ehhh totally different vehicles. The Ferrari is zippy - it's no slouch - and really shines in the twisties with handling.

I've autocrossed the F430 and I've tracked my older M6. I definitely prefer the F430 for track/performance driving. DEFINITELY the M6 for straight line speed. My E63 M6 slightly pulls on the F430 when roll racing. The new M6 blows everything away for sure.

The F430 is a beautiful platform and probably the sexiest car I've ever owned.. but the M6 is really more my style.. my heart is with Bmw. lol.
