Fastest way off the line for an F430 F1 is to use launch control. Takes a bit of a bite out of the clutch though...
Is the F1 in GTS same as f430 or has 599 variant ?
More or less. Some software and housing changes, as far as I know. For example, 599 GTO TCU software can be flashed onto the GTS MC 'box. I had mine (now @WaveyDavey 's) and it made a tremendous difference. Someone with actual knowledge will likely be along soon to fine-tune my response.

Same (almost) transmission in a Strad. Never tried this. Will see what a new clutch costs here first (equiv GBP 5k I'll bet)
I cannot agree with that statement. That is just factually not true
Oh I would be very keen to know about this and if possible to do it here in NZ . Maybe couple with some ECU tuning/remap. I stick with GTS for now
Thank you. Someone with like me real World experience against it.I have driven hard along side one, in the strad. Neck and neck in a straight line.

We have Voicey's F430 with us at Le Mans and we did some rolling 40mph to xxx mph drags and against a stock C63 AMG the AMG ripped it apart. My 3200 gave it a good run for it's money up to triple digits.
Get in a 458 and then do the same test. Light years away... The 458 was the game-changer for mid engined sports cars from Ferrari.
That AMG wasn't stock. It had Stuey in it. There's nothing stock about Stuey.
There a a point where I don’t care anymore about performance. I am sure a GTR chipped would eat anything with 4wheels, but I still much prefer the driving experience and sound of the Ferrari - especially with after market headers and open valves
What is under the bonnet of an F430 - Just wondering how one does a Euro trip in one
That is fine for me, when I was a squaddie I didnt have the credit card....Credit card. Toothbrush. Underpants.
