    Does anyone have pics of a regular 360 coupe next to a CS? I have never seen a CS in person and have wondered how it looks in comparison to a regular 360. thanks

    John, I have some on my home computer, in various colors. When I get home, I in a few day s will post some if no one else has by then.
    Differences are, basically, the cf mirrors, more aggressive front intakes and larger front splitter, deeper rockerpanel lips, rear diffuser and a bit more aggessive rear spoiler as well as a lower stance.

    I didn't have any side by side pics but above might be of help to you anyway. At first glance they might appear to be the same car to the untrained eye because of colour and wheels. At closer inspection they are very different.

    The two top pics are of a base modena with 18" BBS challenge wheels.

    The bottom two are of a CS.

    Note the difference in side view mirrors. The CS mirrors are black and in cf vs body colur on modena. Shape and size are also different.

    CS wheels are 19" and the BBS challenge wheels as well as stock starfish wheels are 18"

    CS front bumper comes down deeper and protrudes around lower air intake. CS has challenge grills in front which most modenas don't. (Not discernible from above pics.)

    CS rockers come down deeper than that of the modena.

    CS rear bumper also comes down deeper.

    CS also has a different rear diffuser and undertray.

    CS has a lexan rear bonnet vs a heavy glass on modena.

    CS has rear bonnet cf air vents. They also look different than that of modena.

    CS interior is all cf inside vs leather in modena. Drip pans and various parts in CS engine bay is cf vs plastic in modena.

    These are most of the aesthetic differences.

    Performance wise and feel, its two entirely different animals.

    It was actually Andy's picture. I still have those shots from when I originally purchased the car. :)

    Actually, I believe that's my old 360.
    I sold it to Andy with the Challenge wheels on, it was a very nice car.

    I now have the CS below.
    Although I have not driven them "back to back" the CS strikes me as stiffer, quicker, louder and generally all round more hardcore.

    In addition to that mentioned by CharlieBronson, the CS also has push button starter, Launch control and no auto mode.
    All CS's have shields
    Oh yeah, and dont forget the little cavallino on the gas cap.

    That's funny but I remember those BBS wheels, really liked them. FWIW, when I sold the 360 I also got a CS. :)

    So Jon..you have a Scud now. Nice!

    I have gone back and forth on the same question. For now I am staying w/ my F430 and CS. It's tough. But I love them both so much. So I will sit tight for the moment.


    What's your experience?

    I've only done the one track day a few weeks ago in the FNA Scud and I've put very few miles on my car. I'll probably have a little better idea after this upcoming weekend trip.

    In a nutshell:

    CS: Feels more raw, nimble, twitchy (fun) and louder inside.
    Scud: Feels easier to balance, more power/torque, faster shifting.

    Awesome stuff Riverflyer. An owner who has a 360 and a CS in the same color. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    That 360 is far from original. Different rims, exhaust and rear grill. Also looks lowered. Comparing a stock 360 vs a CS back to back is a BIG dfference.

    If you also consider interior it´s another world.
