Ferrari Scuderia vs Porsche Gen 2 Turbo
Discussion
Hello. I am lucky enough to have both of these cars and I have decided to taker a holiday in April and will be driving down to Alicante in Spain via Bilbao. The Porsche is so much easier to drive and is more comfortable that the Scud. The Scud is all atmosphere and experience. Spain is a bloody long drive. Q1 - which car should I go in and Q2 will each car manage getting on and off the Ferry allright!!

I'd drive the Porsche and have the Ferrari transported to Spain. I'd then reverse this for the return journey.Both will be fine getting onto a ferry, just be nice and cautious.

Take the Scud. They are quite comfortable on long journeys and surprisingly economical, plus have a great big petrol tank. I recently did Dusseldorf to Beaconsfield (M40/J2) on one full tank.
Ok the Porsche is very capable, but when will you get the opportunity to do this again in the Scud?
In the Porsche, you can do a trip like this in Northern europe and in the middle of winter, anytime and with no problems.

Don't know why there are so many idiots on this forum, who cares what cars your profile says you have!? You probably have better things to do in life than worry about editing your profile on PH for fear of being picked up on it by some keyboard warrior....
Firstly, a nice brace you have there! Love the scud, especially as its a 16M! Love it. I would take that all day long. If you are going on a road trip you want to make it as memorable as possible. That is what I would do anyway...

I was doing about 90mph in the SuperLeggera when we filmed that Scud 
Portsmouth/Santander overnight ferry, no probs with supercars at all (we had SuperLeggera, Scud, California, SLR, LP640, Strads etc with us on the crossing last May)
Did the drive down to Marbella in one go too - set off at 1pm....got there around 9pm (600 odd km's IIRC), we werent caning it too badly either
Take the Scud deffo.
I took the advice of many and drove the Scuderia to Spain on holiday. It was awesome. The drive was comfortable, the ferry no problem, kids wanted to sit in it and have photos taken and on the long straights of the N111 and N234 it was ... well something else. That car will be in my possession for many many years and I will definitely go again. The Porsche option would not have been anything like is great. Thanks to all those who advised me of the right choice.http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/10.gif

Where's the pics!!!!Gald you had a great time - enjoy the Scud in good health!
Hi Fellers, slight change of topic for you knowledgable people if i may pick your brains.
Just had a test ride in a 1 yr old 430 Scud and I turned it down because the engine was almost jumping out of the chassis at idle. Dealer said they all do that Sir [you idiot!] but subsequent enquiries suggested some do but most don't.
He said it couldn't be cured even under warranty. Comments please!.
I am actually looking for ''a tin top R400'', mostly for the track and the Scud was recommended but a GT3 RS, an Exige 260 cup and a Noble M400 were also mentioned so any opinions here also please?
I should mention that what I like about the R400 is that you can drive it on the limit [on track of course]and collect it most of the time and you are in charge rather than computers so I need a car where you can turn them off [totally!] but it is not so snappy you lose it as I am just an average Joe driver.

To the gent asking about the "engine jumping out on idle" - i own the 16M in the picture. I have had it a year and driven it about 2500 miles now. I have never had the engine jump on me. It is very smooth at idle but obviously wondefully noisy!!!! BUT no jumping or feeling its not fastened to the body.
To the guy that noticed the number plate - yep I just could not help it!. You can buy "1 SCU", but I thought this one was a little better - might have to buy another Scud to put the other plate on!!
