First pictures of my 430 Scuderia

Jon.......the Scuderia looks very different from the F430. The interior of the Scuderia is very industrial looking......very professional and very neat. It really looks like a race car.....it IS a race car.

 

Wow, Wow, Wow!

Love it Tarek........enjoy it the best of health. Now give us some "real" world driving impressions. We're all a bit tired of the same drivel coming from all the mags.

Question: Is the ride height the same as the 430 coupe you have? Or is the difference similar to the difference between the CS and the 360? The pics seem to suggest that the Scud rides a bit higher then the CS. Thoughts?

 

Thanks ..........yeah you're right......my garage is very boring. I need to get some signs, posters, flags....., etc. and hang them up.

I usually don't park the cars in very public places over here......it becomes a bit awkward. You don't get to see such exotic cars very often over here.

I will be receiving my 599 by next June. It's a Nero Daytona with a Rosso interior.

 

Thank you Kuzi...........I'll be taking her for a drive early tomorrow morning. It's Friday (your Sunday) and streets will be empty. I'll come back with my driving impressions.

I took some ride height measurments today. The Scuderia has exactly the same ride height, front and rear as my Euro spec F430.

 

Looking forward to it, Tarek!...........

Have fun & Drive carefully mate!!

 

Looks good Tarek, looks right at home in the garage next to the regular 430...question, when I get my 1/24th scale f430 Scuderia model kit in a few months, may I bother you for some detail shots of the interior and engine bay? I'm planning at the moment to paint it the same color as yours...


Have fun on your first real drive

Do you know why they don't set the Scuderia lower? I always think the F430 ride height is a bit high.

 

I think the Euro spec F430 is lower than the US spec F430.

 

Thank you Gray...........ofcourse, once you need the pictures just send me a PM and I'll take them for you.

 

That is correct.

 

I didn't mean as in polishing with waxes,...etc. I just washed her with water and cleaned her from all the dust. Waxing is really a problem here........waxes dry out in seconds. It's really difficult to apply. It's quite warm in Cairo now.........about 37 degC (abt. 99 degF).

 

The US spec F430 is about 1/2" higher than the Euro spec F430........I don't know about the US spec Scuderia.

 

I just found out why my car has sidemarkers........I've been informed that there has been an update to the Middle Eastern code for 2008 Ferrari models. Starting 2008, Ferrari cars sent to the Middle East will have the side markers on the bumpers.

 

Sorry for being late to gongrat you Tarek ! A piece of art really. Alf Mabrouk... Enjoy your car in good health my friend. Amazing car for an amazing gentleman... C u around.

PS: You are really good in photographing !

 

NO you don't need posters or flags....you are not 12 leave it as it is. nice, clean and functional. maybe red walls ???
when we build the new houses, we could do a bar in the garage....now that would be cool.

 

Brilliant Tarek! Great options and color. We are excited for your drving impressions

Congrats!

Mike

 

nice car tarek, but I'm sure you can give us much better pics... in daylight... thx

 

.........some guys here won't like that "12" comment .

You forgot the most important garage accessory............the stripper pole.

 

Thank you Ziad.


.......I know, photography is not one of my strengths.

 

Thank you Mike........Marakji, I'll take some better pictures in daylight.

 

Tarek,
Congrats on your Scuderia...she's a beauty I cant stop thinking about!!! Your definitely living the dream and I wish your enjoy her well!!!

 

Thank you Thuan.........she is a beauty and I can't stop gazing at her .

 

With a F430, F430 Scuderia and a 599 you don't need no stinkin posters or flags!!

 

........honestly, I just want to paint a large Ferrari logo on the wall. Need to find someone local to do it for me.......shouldn't be a problem.

 

... very nice!

... but it looks as if the Benz is trapped in the back, since you won't really be driving it anyway...
