"I picked up my Rosso Mugello 430 Scuderia from Lancaster Sevenoaks yesterday. In the last twenty four hours I have driven 500+ miles of sheer pleasure. I thought the Challenge Stradale was God's vehicle of choice, but this thing is just on another level. I realise there are many Challenge Stradale owners on this forum, but trust me sell the children, give the house away, buy one of the many 430 Scuderia's out there because only then life will have a meaning!
Time to lie down .... "

Having now owned my TDF CS for 12 months it has been the most exciting car i have owned or have driven and certainly have no plans on selling it ever! I personally think TDF with stripe and sabbia cream hide is the best combo for the CS - only 10 RHD made in TDF so rarer also! Haven't driven an 16M but that may be an itch i may need to scratch one day. The CS IMHO is the last of the truly raw and exciting ferrari driving experiences as well as being argually the best looking modern day Ferrari. Scud,458,599 although technically brilliant are all comparatively dull (relatively speaking of course) and one could get bored easily.
The 430 Scud should and probably is better but the 360CS was first. Not seen them at the same price yet as I thought they were £30k+ apart If you win the lottery buy both.
My CS still has 0 previous owners since first registration and a lot has come and gone in my garage since 2004 when it arrived. Running a 2003 E46 BMW M3 CSL just now and its up there with the 360 CS.
My advice is buy a £100k 360 CS AND a £25k CSL rather than a £130k+ 430 Scud.
Some people lack imagination! Buy all of the above if six numbers come up.

I've never driven a Stradale so can't really comment. Im sure it's a great car but fact is, it's rather down on power and gearchange is nowhere near as quick as Scuderia. Regarding Scuderia, it's the best car I've ever owned and driven, period! For me it's the first car that I am going to keep for as long as I can. Every drive feels better than the previous one...
Id take the scud. For as raw and 'racecar for the roadish' and collectable as the cs is, in my mind it still heralds from a transitional stage within ferrari. The scud though is from a different era of build quality and marks the maturation of a lot of ideas and technology such as the f1 box, the mannetino and the vastly increased torque of the v8. Its a properly modern car finally devoid of any traces of kit car. Both fabulous though.

£ for £ you'd have to go for the Strad at current prices.
Owned my black Strad for 2+ years now and have driven a couple of Scuds. There is no doubt that the Scud is a great car and a brilliant drive but, like the 458, they are too good ? The Strad keeps you on your toes and therefore IMO a more rewarding drive.

Had a CSL too for 7 years and a totally brilliant car. But has the 1M (slightly tweaked) just passed it ?My CS still has 0 previous owners since first registration and a lot has come and gone in my garage since 2004 when it arrived.

Build quality on a scud is terrible, Edited by jackal on Monday 5th December 00:09
Some interesting comments supporting both cars. From first glance at the classifieds I thought they were 100 / 120 starting prices respectively hence my comment similar money now, further looking indicates start prices of 80 / 120.
So basis all the above comments, with my own hard earnt think it would be the CS, with a lottery win or someone elses then maybe the Scud but you can get a lot of car for the 40k difference ..... 355 for the school run maybe :-)
