and 2 Ferrari 2002 F1 cars on track at Laguna Seca the week before the Monterey Historic Races. Just beautiful, perfect sounds and sights, those cars.

Does your brother ever let you drive his Stradale?

RyanS3

I've driven a few of them. he's had 2 360s and 1 360 spyder. and an f340. the stradale just got here last week.

Craig3Q

Didn't know this was yet another one.

I have never had this feeling in driving any of the past Ferraris I have owned. the CS is an unbelievable car; raw power and very minimalistic, which I have found is what I longed for in a Ferrari.

I see many people posting questions regarding the comparison between the CS and a 430. I have owned 3 360s (1 Modena and 2 Spiders) and a 430 (07 Coupe). I can say without looking back that the CS is everything I failed to get from the others and more.


Rossa Scuderia, black leather seats with carbon shells and red contrast stitching, leather rear shelf and sills, hifi, red calipers, black alcantara dash with contrast stitching. Carbon everywhere (except the steering wheel which I think I must remedy), even carbon in the engine bay (standard?).

In comparing it to the 430, I can tell you the raw feeling of the car makes the CS a leap ahead of the 430. The stability of the CS is much better than the 430. I think the 430 was almost too refined and too "comfortable" inside. The CS gives you the true feeling of being in a track/race car. It is amazing how much lower the ride is, how you feel the true speed and handling of the car. The sound is what has left me unable to turn the stereo on. At 4500 rpms, you feel and hear the scream and then again at 6500 rpms.....it is an exhilirating sound and feeling.

The look is also much better than the 430. The rear of the 430 was a nightmare for me. Without the challenge grill, the 430 looks too feminine, too refined. With the grill, it looks too choppy and disjointed. The rear of the CS is amazing. The lines of the 360 are much better than the 430, but with the CS it is on steroids!

I cannot describe it well enough at this point. Need more time behind the wheel. One more description. When I bought a 360 and even the 430, I was left saying "what's next" just a week after owning it. With the CS, I am left saying, this is a dream!

Nice!

Just be careful of the dips and sharp angle entrences. CS is low. You will scrape it eventually.
