    Hello to all!
    I just restigered on this site.......so much info on Ferraris....

    So,
    i want your oppinion....
    I'm in the market for an F430.....but recently saw the new Scuderia.....

    I like so much the stripes.....the wheels ohhhhhhhhh :)

    But....damn

    they don't include carpets....wtf ????
    Isn't a Ferrari supposed to give you exclusivity + comfort?

    Not even carpets?
    I won't go on the track with my Ferrari either!
    I want to make trips...enjoy driving....not f@ck it up!
    So,
    will an F430 be more suitable for my tastes?Or not.....?

    So many choices....damn :D

    Take care...

    It sounds like you'd be better off with a standard 430 than a Scuderia - especially as you may have to wait a couple of years for a Scud whereas nearly new or new a regular 430 is readily available - and has carpets as standard....

    It seems you will be more comfortable with a F430 than a Scuderia. Try a F430 and if it lacks something, upgrade?

    430. If and when available,you can put on the front bumper unit and wheels and stripes. Rear bumper and diffuser most prolly'd be a teeny bit difficult... But you'll have carpets and a Hi-Fi option and er..better insulation.

    Thank's guys!
    So,
    an F430 would be enough for me...i guess!

    another thing to consider is that i may have the opportunity to spend the extra $$ of the Scuderia into extras on the F430...

    I guess,
    a "trip" to my local dealer will make things clear as for the extras...

    Another question is if the F430 somes with climate control or AC?
    Or either of them are being considered as extras?
    Also,
    (and BTW sorry if i've been tiring)

    what colour for the interior will u choose?

    I like the "grey metallic" or whatever they call it for the exterior colour....maybe tan leather inside?

    Grigio Silverstone. Go for Cuio (natural leather/tannish thingy..) for the interior :) or red hide...

    430S is going to hold it's value a lot better. Any chance to go for that I'd take it. Drive your other car if you want carpets.

    I think you need to understand exactly what the Scuderia is. It's not about the stripes or the wheels. It's supposed to be a borderline race-car iteration of an F430. A higher performance version.


    You definitely want an F430.

    Wtf?


    Ferrari F430 Berlinetta & Ferrari 430 Scuderia are two different cars man. You can't combine options what so ever. Get to your dealer and get your info there or troll somewhere else.

    I had heard that giving birth is painful...


    Sorry Kostas, I don't mean to be mean but honestly - it sounds like you know nothing about the cars you are asking about. Why don't you do some research before you ask questions that the average kid in your street can answer? We love to help but we don't like to waste our time.

    Watch some of the videos on the internet about the Scuderia. And then you know not to ask why it doesn't have carpets and yet costs more money. Groan.

    I'm impressed that, living in CA, you're aware of the local Ferrari market (and the ability to predict the future) in Greece ... ;)

    I understand Ferrari will make their cars just about any way you want if they consider you a good customer. Why don't you go in to your dealer and ask to order a 430 Scuderia WITH carpets. I'm sure they will happily explain exactly what you have to do to get that consideration.

    Then I would buy a Scuderia, put in a stereo and couple speakers, buy some F430 carpets and put them on the floors :confused:

    A "430 Escalade" would be perfect for you!
