458 or Scuderia ...
Discussion
Fellas,
I am heading down to Ferrari Marenello next month and have decided to take one of these champions out for a spin.
I'm torn between the 458 Italia and Scuderia ...
F430 Scuderia

F430 Scuderia
- Much more focused
- The most up to date technology Ferrari has. The 458 is also faster.
I drove the LP560-4 about a year ago. I appreciated the car but it didn't feel involving enough unlike the F430 I drove ...
Im a bit scared the 458 will not feel involving to drive as appose to the Scuderia which certainly will!
But the 458 is a 458 and MUST be an unbelievable experience considering it is the successor to the F430 which is a STUNNING car. The best car I have ever driven BUT I haven't driven that many, granted.
Decisions ...

I've driven a scud, I own a stradale and a 458.
Buy a scud for one reason. It is cheaper and every bit as good in almost every way. They feel very similar if you ask me, you'll just lose less money on the scud if you buy well.
Unless you are Jason Plato or Tiff Needell, the 'lack of involvement' you describe is a moot point. At anything other than flat out they feel quite similar as said before. The 458 is also incredibly involving, don't be fooled by the marketing crap. It is quicker round Bedford than the scud and that is a 'track' car. I've never driven a car that is as forgiving as the 458, its also very progressive handling wise. Truly remarkable car. That said if I was able to drive the scud properly I would bet my house that its just as good, only 80k cheaper.
Stradale even more involving (noise wise especially) but not as easy to drive quickly with all the toys off. Less forgiving and you're more aware of the weight behind you. Its by no means not a good car, far from it, but it is less confidence inspiring for an enthusiast as opposed to a pro. Just as good again but less flattering to your driving, would take more time to master.
In all honesty, forget which one is quicker because its irrelevant. They are both silly quick and you'd need a stop watch to tell the difference. Just try the one you like the look of, in fact try both and decide for yourself.
Alot of people on here talk alot of crap.

Scuds are crap !Buy a scud for one reason. It is cheaper and every bit as good in almost every way. They feel very similar if you ask me, you'll just lose less money on the scud if you buy well.
