When you spec'd and bought your scudi did you know what you are buying???
You sound like you just wanted the latest ferrari and got yourself a Scuderia...
If you wanted a ferrari to race in you should have went for the F430 challenge if you just wanted to drive around town and be a little insulated the an F430 or should have waited for the F458 or the next car...
If you wanted to drive to the track, around the track, and back home then the Scuderia is the way to go. I have driven the 430, Scudi and the 458 around the track, and its a world of a difference!! the Scuderia on top every time...

Just my $0.02

Exactly!

Scud is like a GT3/RS drive to an from track and can be used on street as well

Challenge is another animal, my friend who raced the NA Challenge for 4 years put it best the Scud for him is not a good car it is to harsh for the street and to soft for the track.

458 is the latest and greatest and if you wont track this is the ticket.

Send the Scud to me, and I'll let you know if there's something wrong with it.

You don't sound like a hard core track junky but more of the type that goes on spirited drives on the weekends, then the 458 is the perfect car for you. Coming from both the Scuderia and 599 HGTE I know exactly how you feel, the 458 promises to give you a thrilling ride everytime without sacrificing too much comfort.

That being said I don't think you should get it unless you can get it at list. Some of those premiums being thrown out there right now are just insane ($50-75K over)!

You sound like the perfect candidate for a 599 GTB.
