Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F430 Scuderia...

Fantastic sound, and styling are often enough to get by....esp sound which is why a few of us are in love with the new GTO. 

The 16M might have done the trick for you...I think the spyder styling is stronger than coupe. 

Will be interesting to see where these cars will be in the marketplace 5-10 years from now.

OK

On the way home from a conference in Chicago I ended up behind a black
F430 Scuderia.  I was in the Vette, and the guy driving the Scud decided
to give some entertainment, which was nice of him, I never entertained
people in Vettes :).  Some comments:

-The exhaust note at WOT on that car is phenomenal.  Wow it sounds so
good.  And the car launches very nicely also.

-The tires are super sticky, had to stay well behind or in the lane over
to avoid getting pelted, noticed as I rolled up next to him that he was
dropping stones off his tires like they were a set of heated
Hoosiers...  Did not see the tire brand though.  Nice Carbon Ceramic
brakes but the Yellow calipers I'd rather not have, they should be body
color as they stand out through the black wheels too much.

-He was about as quick as the Vette, maybe a little quicker off the
line, but caught easily, but this was at low speeds and neither of us
really pushed it.  I could hear his engine over mine at WOT, but
probably because it was much higher pitched.

-Car was sort of a flat black and had the three stickers on the hood,
and a full mesh rear treatment.  It looked nice and wedge shaped in
front, but a bit too angular, not enough curve (like a Pantera).  And
honestly the Italy flag stickers are just about the stupidest thing I
have seen on a Ferrari.  Much like how Porsche puts big printed stickers
on their cars...  So overall I actually thought it was pretty ugly, not
as nice as a 360 even and I am not a huge fan of the 360...

The exhaust note is fantastic, the rest of the car, given it was clearly
a paddle slapper...  meh.

My $0.02...
