It's that good my pal with the scud is after a strad aswell now.

Is your pal selling his Scuderia and replacing it with a Stradale?
and what are you replacing your stradale with? (PM me a link of the ad if you wish)

I think the right decision (investment wise & fun factor) is the Stradale, just going to be difficult to have that as my only car. Made the Scud more tempting. Albeit I don't need to drive in London really, just for pleasure.

GT3 RS would be a better bet and less mileage sensitive.

You can find 20k mile examples at £160k. Given I would put maybe 2k-3k miles a year, I can live with that for the time being...Depends where the prices go. Make sense? I think I just need to scratch that ferrari itch... (more so than porsche)

Letting the CSL go is the other issue. I looked at V12 Vantages but none in LHD and I don't think they will hold their value so well...

As pointed out by another person here, the 360 has a slower ring time than the CSL.

So for pure speed, you might find the 360cs a little disappointing.

That said, it did sound and look fapping fantastic. The wail of the flat plane crank Ferrari V8 and induction noise of the S54B32HP singing together at high revs in the Alps was something pretty special!

I've driven already 2 CS's - Just the noise on stock system, wow... So alive this car. Waiting to test a Scuderia and maybe a Testarossa just to see.

Regarding the lap time if that was for the 360 the strad is a totally different car. It's only 25kg different in weight to the full challenge car. I've driven 360, 430 and the strad cannot be compared to these. As I said not defending the strad just my 2p worth. I like all different cars, I loved the CSL also and would defiantly have another.

I agree! What are you driving now?
