comparing 2 stripes, 3 stripes and no stripes.....

i have a completely stock 430 and then a novitec complete car minus the chargers and now with its new garage mate, scuderia.

I mentioned before i like the stock no stripes one better than my 3 stripes, because of the too big tires on the novitec and obnoxious exhaust. Looks and sound alone, the novitec wins, but for pure driving, the stock one is clearly more fun and nimble.

Obviously the scud is better and everybody on earth agrees. But they seldom tell u that the first gear change really kicks u in the back and its so lighting fast, it is violent but finished at the same time. Shocking even after a few days. All the inputs are very direct and fun, not lose feeling anywhere in the process.

The scud also sticks on the ground like no other and yet extremely comfy at the same time, none of the trim-lining-groove-following like the big tire novitec.
Interior of the scud is out of this world too, nothing can match this, maybe a lambo SV, but thats it.

I used to think that if money is an issue, i would just keep the 430 and never need a scuderia.
But after driving it for a few days at below 5k RPM, this is by far the best driving car i have. It looks like a 430, but it is really a totally different car! The 599 might feel like it has more absolute power and silky smooth, but if i want to abuse the streets and get abused, i grab the scud's keys 100% of the time!

Like many wise ones before me, : "its that good" period.

You've summed up the Scuderia nicely. And it keeps getting better as you put on the miles.

 

I've been putting miles on my Scud since March of 2009. I love it. The gear changes are unreal.
