Awesome picture Jason! That CS needs either wider stripes or no stripes, the thin stripes aren't very flattering.

Truthfully, Josh, the Superleggera is not that impressive. I've driven one and the CS countless times and the CS leaves me blown away every time. Not so much in the SL. I came away unimpressed each time.

I agree...the owner (h20skier) wanted to copy the original stripes but the problem with that is its white with stripes within. That white portion would just disappear on a white car so he just replicated the stripes within. It's a subtle touch, that's for sure.

I wanted to also post the before and after images so you guys can see what I've done.

After


Another shot without the stripes

Another vote for the Superleggera!

Thanks.

Last I checked, this thread was about the CS not the SL so, please, if you guys don't mind, let's try to keep things on topic.

Josh, I'd love to especially for you because you asked. I went to an autocrossing event sponsored by Lamborghini a number of years ago and they had a Superleggera there for us to try. The first thing that struck me was how poor the braking feel was. You'd have to really pound the pedal to get a response and that was with ceramic rotors. That was what surprised me the most. That's one of the hallmarks of Ferrari, their ceramic brakes have always impressed me with their immediate "bite" time after time. They're awe-inspiring. I also found the SL had a tendency to understeer around tight corners which was probably due to the AWD system. However, I do think that the SL and CS comes close to one another when it comes to steering feel. Overall, both are supposed to be the pinnacle of car design from either manufacturer. The CS feels like a race car for the street whereas the SL feels like it's trying to be a race car but comes up short. The new 560-4 actually feels more racerish than the SL. It comes closer to being like the CS in terms of rawness. Different strokes for different folks.

Some pics, dont think this car will ever get old for me. The grey one with yellow calipers really looks good imo.
