    I'm ready to buy, but would really like to ride or drive in a scud before I decide. I can't find a single one in the metroplex for sale right now. I test drove a 458 and a mp4 this weekend, but still interested in a scud. I'm in Fort Worth, but willing to go anywhere in the metroplex. I know it's a lot to ask for by a stranger, but I'm just a car enthusiast buying my first exotic and too anal to buy one without having experienced on beforehand. Thanks in advance!

    I'll check them out - thanks! I was at the dealership this weekend and looked at several cars - talked with Adrian.

    I drove the scud before I bought my 458. The scud is a little more "raw", but the 458 is faster and a better overall car. Just my opinion.

    I drove a 458 and a mp4 this past Saturday - man this is a tough decision. I've always loved the looks of the scud and the stripped down design, but the performance differential of the newer 458 and mp4 is hard to ignore. I don't really care for the looks of the California as much as the others, but I appreciate the offer. How does the driving experience compare to the others? I may need to research it a bit more.

    I have not driven a 458 nor a MP4. you cant go wrong on any of them. You just have to sit down and look at what you really want. Most of us here have more than 1 car in the stable. And some of us here can buy whatever car we want, so it now boils down what you want at the moment. You will get crazy if you think about what would be better right now, a scud or a 458 or a MP4. These 3 can bring you kid to school, you can use them to buy groceries, you can use them in the track, you can bring them to work and you can even go on a long drive with them. One thing for sure, your taste will change, just like mine.
    Buy the one you want, then sell it and buy another replacement. Life is full of choices, dont you love them!
