    Looks like it. I saw one on a regular 360 not too long ago. That was a factory option.

    Good catch Dan; I noticed that right away too. The roof, mirrors, and what's left of the front bumper are tip-offs that it's a regular 360 Modena.

    Interesting. I always thought the worst/only bad part about a Scuderia is that cheezy stripe. So here is somebody who voluntarely puts that on a 360. Strange. Then again, some people like humongo spoilers ...We're back to that glass house. ;)

    A spoiler on a Ferrari should be a caning offense.

    Many of them come with spoilers installed, so I don't see why that would be offensive. In fact my 308 came with one right from the factory.

    Many get them as aftermarket add-ons. No problem in my book.

    Now are you sure it was a Stradale and not just a 360 Modena with a CS stripe? :D ;)

    Thanks m8. Not sure I'm deserving of that title anymore, since I lost half of the downforce ;). But I still have the factory installed wing.

    The Gallardo is AWD. Why not enjoy it in the winter?

    I noticed the cars you listed in your profile are "family owned." Had you put out the money to purchase them, you might feel differently!

    'Exotics' aren't meant to be daily drivers. If they were, they wouldn't be 'Exotic!'

    Providing such judgments not knowing me personally, solely based on a user profile, is something you could avoid.

    Why is it OK to drive a 150,000 Euro SUV in the snow (e.g. a Cayenne Turbo), but it's wrong to drive a 200,000 sports car if equipped with snow tires and AWD to drive in the snow?

    If the owner enjoys it, who cares? What looks like an exotic weekend-toy to you, might be a daily driver to him.

    Because the loss of a SUV is a good thing but the loss of an exotic a sad day.
    :)

    PS: Cayenne is another car Porsche shouldn't have made. Arrgh.
