    All I can say is.............SICK!!!!!!

    60ms shift times are unbelievable. The 100ms shift times of the 599 were impressive enough, and of course, this car just takes it up another notch. Acceleration is brutal, and the sound matches the brutality. Handling is razor sharp. Very intense driving experience. Not a car I would take on any extended drive. It was built to drive hard, and that's exactly what it does best.

    Easiest way to describe the car is if you've ever felt the difference between a 360 and a Stradale, I would say there is as much a difference between a 430 and a Scuderia. Awesome car!

    Dan, how would you describe the difference between the Scud and a Stradale?

    Probably the same amount of difference between a 360 and a 430. It's the next level, basically.

    Drove Scuderia and had hotlaps in the challenge seen here.

    No question the gear box on the Scuderia is worth the price of admission. On the track, the car is unreal. The breaking and cornering are almost as enjoyable as the sound of the gearbox popping. Given the weight reduction, the car also feels much more powerful accelerating.

    The noise is much louder. We had to break several times on Fiorano due to the new sound restrictions when the scuderia was on the track.

    We did not do telemetry in the scuderia, but were all convinced our laptimes would have been 5-10% faster versus the 430 coupe.

    I saw my first scud in person yesterday at a track. While I can't say that I had the pleasure of driving it, couldn't agree more on the exhaust note and the sound/speed of the upshifts as compared to the "regular old" 430s. The tranny sounds extremely quick.

    Not a great colour combo. But the yellow Dino in the background looks beautiful.

    JS146 - Is the Challenge car faster, or the Scuderia?

    Is it grigio silverstone? In some of the pics it looks green to me but that has to be the lighting, right?

    Dan do you have a better picture of the tan/black seats with the headrest in the shot from the front rather than the side views? Gold wheels and red stripes are a bit 'out there' but then the red calipers pull it all together. Another vote for stripes and red no less! Do ANY of your customers order red/tan anymore?

    Is it nice? I dunno......looks like British Racing Green to me!

    On the other hand, I would even love to have a Scud in purple with green spots on it :D:D:D

    Ciao, E.

    The challenge seems faster in accleration only due to the light weight and more noise. It's much more raw that even the scuderia. the huge difference is in breaking.

    It looks like a British Green for me ... anyway it is an amazing car with any color combo. I am thinking to order one next week - I checked last week they are still available to order but need to wait at least 18 months for delivery.
