430 scuderia 0-180 race logic times
Discussion
Having received the scud a week ago, I couldnt resist in finding out what it can do. It happened to be quicker than the best I managed on the GT2.
Please note that I also didnt use the launch control, hence the 0-30, being 0.4 sec slower than what it should be. Also this was taken on a European motorway, therefore the gradient was not flat throughout, there was a slight downhill section once I reached about 120mph. Considering this car is not all about straight line acceleration, the times do seem rather impressive...

the 100-150 time definitely is benefiting from a gradient as 150 !!
Without knowing the gradient, its hard to know what to make of the data, but if the 0-100mph was on the flat then its a very good time.... 7.5s is about as quick as any of the magazines clocked with the scud has been tested.

7.5 is lovely ... You cant ask for better
Do you have the gt2 pics ?
Yes, really cant complain with 7.4 to 100.Do you have the gt2 pics ?
Didnt take pics for the GT2 but the best I managed on the top of my head with P-zero corsa's (cup sports would have probably had the edge) were as follows:
30: 1.6
60: 3.9
100: 8.1
150: 17.2
I could have sworn the GT2 felt faster (even with all the noise on the scud). I guess its the whoosh of turbo that makes the car feel faster.
I remember being frustrated with the 60 and 100 times and repeatedly tried to better it but couldnt. Finally gave up as I didnt want to abuse the car too much. I guess my shifting skills weren't quick enough.

awesome times that is quick, i recently sold a diablo and really wanted another lambo but the scud is pulling me in big time, are you finding anything negative just yet and can you advise what to look out for? i have not previously owned a fezza.
Hi Andy, put it this way, the day I picked up my car (it had 3k on the clock) I drove it from Manchester to london slept for a couple of hours and then cruised in it all the way to the sth of France non stop. The car felt soid and reliable for the entire journey. It was also surprisingly comfortable and economical! Anytime I felt a bit tired, I downshifted a couple of gears and the sound of that engine just kept me wide awake. Cant find anything really negative yet; the finishing on the build quality of the isnt German, therefore not perfect, but solid enough anyway. As its a stripped out car, there dont seem to be too many things that can go wrong. Check for wear and tear. If you buy from a dealer ask them to give you a report on the wear on the ceramic brakes and on the clutch. Most cars should still be on their waranty so you should be safe for most other things. Good luck, v exciting car and im sure youll have no regrets!leeGT2 said:

Hi Lee,What is the servicing schedule like. How often and likely costs etc.Will be coming from a GTR so frequent servicing is not going to be a new experience but Ferrari Dealer prices might be.
Is the Scud a 3 year warranty with the possibility to extend and are there any well known horrors to look out for (Clutch, cam belts etc)

Ive only now had the car for about 2 weeks so cant really about its' costs. Servicing on the car should be once a year or I think every 12k miles (dont quote me on that one though, I wont be doing too many miles/year so that shouldnt apply to me). My car has a 4 year warranty. No cambelts to change on the 430's. Ive budgeted for about 5k on maintainence (without tyres) a year on average assuming about 5kmiles/year without doing any circuit days. I could be well out, but lets see....What is the servicing schedule like.

Hi Andy and Lee
I bought a 16M Spider from Ferrari Manchester last September. Awesome vehicle. I have done just shy of 3000 miles now and 2000 of those were to and back from Spain. The car has just had an annual service that cost £1200. The car drives beautifully over long and short distance - so easy to drive gently and hard and the sound is to die for. The odd/silly things are the build quality - silly things like the aircon switch has stuck in!! and to turn the stereo up you press minus and for down you press plus!! But really they are not important as the car is so so so special. Enjoy your car!

Just picked my one up today, was worried I'd made the wrong move as I'd px'd my F430 in after just 3 months, less than a mile from swapping them over and I was in heaven.
The ride, the noise, the carbon, the alcantara, the fire extinguisher, the metal, the welds, the stripes, the LEDs on the steering wheel,the high-up exhausts, the perspex engine cover, those big-ass brakes and THAT GEARCHANGE.
Holy cow.
I love it!

Agree with all of what you say. Its the drive that finally counts, all the patchy little build quality things are very minor....
