Challenge Stradale thread

Agreed, they need to be driven and serviced correctly.
360Trev’s comments to that video summed it up TBH.

I finally got my CS out for the first time this year yesterday. I had PS4S fitted to it recently and I would agree with the previous comments in the thread, they do numb things somewhat but the rear of the car feels a lot less twitchy than it did on the Pirellis, which is what I wanted.

On my Porsches the steering felt a little vague for the first 2-300 miles on PS4s, then it came back. So I am expecting the same to happen here. I only covered about 100 miles yesterday so we'll see how they evolve.

Very rare RHD with Lexan.

Painted stripe too.
Shame about the silver calipers
Seems cheap at the price!!

I'm all for people doing what they like with their cars but the manual conversions on CSes don't appeal to me. I love the car because it's of its time, and the slightly clunky gearbox adds to that for me.

That said this week I have been quite tempted to get a cheap (cat d?) F1 360, do a manual conversion and use it as a daily driver

edit: Cool video though, just finished watching it, thanks for posting.

Some people just want a manual no matter how good the F1 gearbox is.

Look at this manual 458 Speciale.

Wow, that's incredible.

Driving these on the UK roads must be crazy.

Driving a CS on the roads in their current state is crazy enough

£90k is insane value for the yellow one, wonder how much the red one is

That's the car that failed to sell on carsandbids isn't it? High bid wwas $261k. Sold afterwards for $275k iirc.

[AmoCS]

Sorry no idea.

Here's a possible bargain, ship it to US and double the price :-)

That’s had a bit of a price reduction. Novitec exhaust so I think it’s RG04EDC which has been around various dealers over the last year or so.

Anyone know why? Before i speak with them..

[tomtom]

I don’t know the car, sorry. Didn’t look at that one before buying mine. But it’s been on my radar as a car that’s hung around a while. I’m guessing, because of the Novitec exhaust, but I think it’s this car: https://challenge-stradale.com/137457.html

Maybe it’s just because it’s LHD, modified and has a non-factory stripe? If you want a LHD, red car there are (Or were) others for similar money that appear more original.

Could be a bargain if you’re buying one to drive though. Did you look at it?

Its jap import, good history though, not sure people are happy with a service history they cant read, you could translate it but guessing thats the reason its not sold
