CS Market

well said....

all are great cars... anyone having a chance to own any of them, should count their blessings!

 

Very true Mark.

In regards to the Speciale, it's too electronic, soft core (not so stripped and too many assists) sounds is just like the normal 458 and on the road it actually is quite close to the 458 Italia. You'll only appreciate it on the track and I don't think anyone spends 80% of their time on one.

The other two are so raw, such a thrill to drive and the sounds they make! Nothing comes close.

I'm a new age guy but a fan of the old school, hence why I love the Aventador and its single clutch system. Both the Stradale and Scuderia have an awesome single clutch gearbox.

 

agree. We are lucky to own such great cars. quibbling over which is better seems petty.
first world 1%er's problem.

 

Have you ever driven the Spec w all nannies turned off? I'd be curious to hear how that feels.

 

I am very lucky enough to own both a CS and SCUD, the CS was my first ever ferrari and it will always have a special place in my heart, the sitting position, the brakes, the handling are just perfect and the car really comes alive when you drive it on the track, very raw, pure joy.
The scud is really an amazing evolution of the CS, the shifting is just amazing, those upshifts always puts a smile on my face every time.
to own any one of these cars is really a blessing, but i agree with Mark, to have both just makes you appreciate both models even more.
I personally love to compare and to feel the differences between both, it's a truly unique experience.
It's an experience, I really wish for everybody on this thread to have so they could understand that it is not about comparing these two models, but it's to enjoy the similarities and differences between both cars and the evolution from one to another.

 

Yes, I've driven it with all nannies off, the car transforms, it's quick and it's fun however it isn't raw. I like the faster lap times and the quicker sprints but that isn't the complete picture, besides anyone is lucky to be at a track 6 times a year...

 

With Andrews help I have found my unicorn. Thank you bro...your expertise is second to none... Any serious buyer of a CS should utilize this great resource of ours!

Sweet! You got that white one from Cali?? Excellent! Enjoy

 

What white one from CA? grrrr

and who is Andrew?

I may be going down this route pretty soon as I'm looking for a yellow Straddle

 

Props to Andrew...he's is the Stra 'Dale' Lama !!!!

 

Aventador really? Doesn't the weight really hurt the feel? I've been scheduled to drive one a couple times but it never worked out...

 

^^^ Aventador is a BIG car...I'd much rather take an LP 560/570 or Super Trofio. Gallardo is an awesome car, the LP series are very capable, fun, and fast!

 

If it's the car I'm thinking of, please return the mirrors back to bare carbon. Congratulations!

 

+1. Congratulations. I called a lot on that car a couple years ago but it was too much work. Nice rescue.

 

Latest issue of Forza is valuing the CS at 120k to 130k. If anyone wants to sell me there non accident cars for that, I'll take them

Maybe Andrew needs to enlighten them.

All the printed media seems pretty out of touch on values IMHO. On the classic side they seem to lag badly for instance. Where did they have the scud if I may ask?

 

Anyone here track there 360CS? I've been scouting around and would like to hear from anyone who has extensive knowledge at the track. I have seen a red w/strip out at COTA during the Forza Tifosi Challenge last year.

Wanted to see if anyone has upgraded to the challenge sway bars and challenge wheels with better tires, etc...

 

I believe porsche racer does.

 

Scud was 160k to 180k

 

Thanks. That is accurate-ish.

 

They are all out of wack - always have been. Cavallino, Ferrari MKt letter, and Haggery also.

Almost like they do no research at all and pull the numbers out of thin air.

 

I have a fair amount of track experience and track the CS. Its actually pretty good right out of the box. You can't really 'upgrade' to the Challenge car's 18" wheels as I don't believe the CS' brakes will fit inside an 18. What else would you like to know?

 

agree on brakes.

 

BBS Ferrari 360 Challenge Wheels

I didn't think the CS had a larger rotor/brake setup over Challenge car? The CS tires seem a tad to skinny (7.5x19) vs the challenge 8x18 front & 10.5x18 rear.
