Scud over CS and Speciale Chris Harris

No losers.

Speaking of manageable,I find it challenging Enough trying to keep the 360 spider’s rear in check with the ASR off. Lol

 

Good point.
I found 458 easy to control and planted. Speciale not so much. P90D planted, P100D squirmy. Sometimes that little extra makes the car less controllable.

 

The Macs have nothing on the Raris. They are boring to drive on the street abc you only get your thrills on a track. But if you can't enjoy getting milk then what's the purpose. Plus I haven't seen a least reliable car than the Mac.

for obvious reasons the top gear folks always pick the British cars to be their "favorites". In this case Chris is full of it.

 

Regardless of whether we can agree on his 600lt and scud preference I do agree with his point that we have gotten away from what driving is all about.

Fun factor vs. lap times. Requiring skill vs. compensating for the lack of. Less weight vs more power. Personality vs. Perfection.

 

how did you remove so much weight from your cs?

other question: i heard that the gearbox and the brakes in the cs were lifted from the enzo. so if everyone is complaining about the slower gear changes in the cs, is that what can be expected in the mighty enzo??

 

Amen! The new cars are fun and accessible but I have more fun in my testarossa than my FF.

Through systematically going through every part of the car... Its been tough but you'd be surprised how much was left on the table across the board for the taking..

 

It's worth noting that every design aspect of every car is about compromise. In the case of weight loss it's generally down to comfort: for example I experimented with the removable sound deadening behind the bulkhead and found that without it the car was effectively ruined as anything other than a 'quick blast' car. As someone who goes out for a mix of hard driving and some road trips and leisure drives it just didn't work for me.

Ferrari did a good job to begin with given the placement (vis-a-vis cost) of the car within the range.

 

can you be a bit more descriptive?

and any comment on this question:

Going to be a lot of YouTube exposure shortly which will go into it in depth including a couple of planned magazine articles. I now consider it as done to the point I'm happy with it, a car like this is never ofcourse finished but good enough is where it is. Everyone who's driven it has been shocked.

I think re Enzo, etc yes cars have got considerably quicker, pretty any modern day Mclaren will dispatch one easily but at the end of the day the Enzo is a Ferrari limited edition and dripping with cool... I know what I'd rather own.

 

thanks for that, and i look forward to reading about the weight reduction efforts.

as for the other comment, the question was IF the gearbox and brakes of the cs were the same as the Enzo, as i heard on one of the reviews i watched?

 

Ginger = CS, Mary Ann = Scud. Done!

 

Derived from.. Not same parts.

 

Reverse for me...the CS is plain Jane looking beside a Scud. The scud has big tits stuffed in a sequin dress.
Edit: of all the words I’ve had censored on this site, that one went through....huh.

 

CS always... the last and one of the most beautiful Ferrari!
