My favorite car in the world with my favorite color combo as well. glad to see someone finally has the balls to get it with the stripe the most amazing car ever. words can not explain how I feel right now Gongrat's on owning the most beautiful car in the world.
Congratulations Paul, stunning combo. Just so you know, it's not possible to sleep until the car is with you and once it is, you'll be grinning forever more! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. - Brian
I don't think words can do any justice here, but that car is absolutely stunning! IMO the stripes really add some additional character. Congraulations!
AWESOME car...Enjoy!! BTW, did you but from Kidzan? I noticed the Cauley plate. Where are you in Detroit? PM if you have some time.
i can't believe it...! Someone actually got a black Stradale with the stripe...! AWESOME...! Paul, it looks unbelievably amazing...! Congratulations...! Please post more pictures...
awsome!! i thought there was no radio in the CS? how much was it and is it Cd? how many speakers? can you even hear it over the exhaust??
Congratulations Paul! I saw your car in person the other day while at the dealership. It is indeed gorgeous and I can't wait to go for a ride in that badboy. I've still yet to ride in a CS and am eager to.
Busy weekend, only got to drive the car for less than an hour yesterday, but wanted to post some impressions. I'm not going to go over the razor-sharp handling, the superb braking or the electric throttle response. Those were all expected. Now for the unexpected: F1 transmission: First of all I am dyed in the wool manual transmission fan. If a 6-speed was available in the Stradale I would have gotten it. I had never driven an F1 car until yesterday. I was SHOCKED at how well it worked. Superb upshifts, seamless downshifts, perfect pick-up from a dead stop. Even the auto downshifts as you approach a stop light were undetectable. I tried different things in different situations, everything I did worked so well that within a few miles of driving I was converted. I was expecting to be mildly disappointed with the F1, now I think it is one of the best features on the car. A manual transmission would dilute the experience this car offers. Ride: The 360 CS, in sport mode, rides BETTER than my 360 Spider did! That's right, better. The CS is more comfortable and day-to day usable than my 360 Spider ever was. This was another shocker! Even the ride in race mode was very acceptable, felt in-line with my Spider. I am NOT making this up! Also the car is not too loud at all unless you give it some boot and then it opens up and makes a wonderful noise. Perfect for day-to-day driving. Will post more in a few days. Paul
I think that people who knock the F1 tranny really just don't appreciate how wonderful it is and that it does not dilute the essence of the car in the slightest. I totally agree with what you say.
Sounds like they have made some improvements over the standard 360. Most F1 owners report "glitches" that require some operating experience to minimize. Gary
It's optional, it has a cd player and a subwoofer box. I believe it's called the Hi-Fi (not even close!) stereo option. It was around $2000, a rip-off but I just can't imagine a street car without a radio, even if I barely use it. As long as you're driving normally you can hear it.
Wow....it's beautiful... Love to here more about the driving impressions when you get somemore seat time!! More pictures please
Regarding the ride, I have found a couple of situations where it is a bit harsher than my 360 Spider was, mainly over broken up and frost heaved (?) concrete roads, but it is in no way objectionable. A few more pics:
