Stradale Owners - any regrets?

I regret not being able to afford one!

Robert.

 

if i had one i would regret that its not a 6 speed manual.

 

Tom, i got mine coming in hopefully within the next month and i have a spider for sale also. i will let you know in about a month.

 

i was waiting to hear from you. I can't wait until you get that thing eli I cant wait!

 

I would be interested in this also. After 3 years on the Spider list I changed it to a Stradale. Should be here in a week or so. I'll let you know what I think.

I do wish they had the 6-spd as an option though. The F1 transmission is my only question mark on the car.

 

NO regrets at all. It's a fantastic car. It's not as plush as a "normal" 360, so it may not suit everyone as a daily driver, but IMO it's what a Ferrari is all about. The F1 transmission is something of a mixed bag. Tooling around town at low revs and part throttle, it's a little erratic, so a 6 speed would be nice in that situation. But on the track or just driving hard, it's sublime.

 

None, it's a superb car. But buy in Rosso Scuderia.

Here is one pic of mine in Rosso Scuderia: http://www.upit.dk/u/Sony%20ImageMixer%20315.jpg

 

Welcome to the "boards" StradaleF1!

how big is your image, it does not become available with the link provided, if you would like some help send me a PM (private message for you new guys.

So you're a Doctor --of Ferrari design team?

 

Can I ask you somthing? How are you 14 and a Stradale owner? A docter? How have you owned a 512, 308, 348, 355 and a 360? If its a typo or some other reason (you are a heir or something to billions) I apologize, im not trying to be rude about it just curious being 14 and all how have you already owned 6 Ferraris and Etc.?

 

lol!!!!!!

 

i have driven one... very fast, very tight... still sounds better with a tubi...it really needs a 6speed, the 6speeds on the 360s are very nice and much more fun to drive than the f1...an f1 could be a headache in the future with maintaince issues

 

Hehe, that's because my son is 14 and he has registered me. Hehe, I think he made a mistake. Well, thanks for showing me the mistake...

 

Well that solves that problem lol, well now that i know it isnt someone my age just lying, I will mention that you have and had some awsome Ferraris, have fun w/ that awsome Stradale!

 

welcome doc nice car i might add where do you live ?

what state?

NY crosssing my fingers

 

WHERE IS THE STRIPE FOR GOD SAKES!

 

i second that motion not your cup of tea DOC?

 

None at all. I even like the F1 gearbox, and I never thought I'd ever hear myself say that.

 

the F1 gearbox in the stradale is fantastic. period. tons of fun to drive. the car wouldn't be the same "experience" with a manual gearbox.

 

the car was designed specifically around the F1 gearbox. it's perfect. if you wanty old technology then don't buy a stradale. as for the F1 and maintenance issues i haven't heard of anybody having any maintenance issues with the F1 gearbox. i suppose that eventually some components will wear out and need service, but that's the nature of things. when it breaks you just deal with it. if you are unduly worried about maintence costs then you probably should steer away from ferraris

 

Hehe...
Yes, I really have had so much fun in all those Ferrari's. I especially like the Enzo, F40 and of cause the CS. It handles better than my Lotus and those BRAKES! You should hear the ENGINIE and the gearbox is so quick and easy. I'm so happy that i bought that car!

Some pics...

I live in Denmark, very near Germany.

 

Well, I think it looks ok, but I better like it clean.

 

How I wish CS & Enzo come w/ 6-speed manual.........

 

Well, actually I think - and I'm 45 and I'm a really "old Man" - it's better! I owned a 360 Modena with the F1 gear and I was so disappointed, but then The Enzo and CS came. Now I prefers the F1 Gear - especially on the track.
