I guess I'd probably pick the 430. Also, that a damn old car if that's your primary car, and not a weekend/show/garage car.

Edit: I just priced out a brand new R8 tiptronic for $130k. If you can afford a 4 year old used car for $95k, you should be able to afford $130k for a brand new one, but that's just me.
Good points here. I would not purchase either vehicle. The 360 is obviously a great car, but old... A 4 year old R8 for 95k seems overpriced. Way rather have a 997 Turb with warranty.

You have a lot of options for 100k.
