Not you as well I've been banned from Challenge Stradale threads for saying they are overpriced for what they are yet all the CS owners who are slagging off my LP570-4 Performante left right and centre are getting away with foul langauged,abusive, insulting, libellous and harassing posts personally aimed at me.

You are obviously not an elite "club CS" member either then

Helooooo,

Best way to contact Garlick would be to mail him through here. He's not on the forums too much at the minute.

I had one too.. found that the extra 20hp, l00kg weight loss, stiffer set up and faster gearbox made it a considerably quicker and more enjoyable car than the standard 360... as I said before DRIVEL... pls keep him out of the supercar forums!

Probably because he thought they were going to £500k like the gt3 4.0RS surely is, isn't that why he has 2 of them as well??

it's pathetic that the admins/users here see him as a controversial figure, we're all adults here and should be able to handle opinions we disagree with.

Some of the comments have become massively tedious tho. We also all have an opinion but we don't all feel the need to be offensive giving our opinion, so yes we are all adults but sometimes it's hard to tell!

did you drive a well set up sorted standard 360 before the 360CS, I had one of the 1st 360s in yellow, did around 20 track days, moved on to a CS, felt slower.......no worth the extra 32k...

I drove a good 360 before the CS. Had the CS for 18mths, loved it, but sold it as was getting married, not the most profitable trade of my life! (Sorry Mrs mpbcs). I thought the CS was a fantastically balanced car and considerably quicker than the standard 360, and I did numerous trackdays in it. However I never drove a yellow standard 360. maybe the colour made it go faster!

I had a std 360 Modena, then a std 430 and then a 360CS, The 360CS was quicker than the 360, I felt better balanced than the 430!. I went onto a 430 Scud after that and given the choice I'd take the CS as first choice.

mine was an ex FUK car, well run in, felt much more than 400bhp, unusual for F. or not for a demo F car ?I well recall the 360CS, early car brought on LHD and RHD, both arrived around same time. Felt slower than the 360, sold both under 1k miles, then moved to a stick shift 360, for me this was a better car than a paddle car at the time.

I had 5 or 6 430s, including an early man g-box, but kept jumping 2nd, 430 Scud was in different class

I agree the paddle shift wasn't the best on those cars, mine often played tricks, but it was better than the one originally fitted to the standard 360. I still struggle to see how a CS is slower than a standard car though, physics dictates it can't be. The mind can play tricks over time.

I well recall when I collected the CS, I drove it back on the M-Way, the sound was great but so slow I drove it back to the dealer to check over.....I only kept both mine for under 1k, did they loosen up over time?
