New member needs advice - 360CS or Scud?

Hi everyone, just joined today but have been lurking in the background for a while.

I've been feeling the itch for a hardcore F-Car but can't pick between the CS and the Scud. Would really appreciate people's advice on which of the 2 cars to get.

I've only driven the Scud briefly and it was crazy fast. I'm sure both in a straight line and on the track it has the CS beat by a margin. I feel though (also based on what i've read) that the CS provides a more raw experience. I also think the CS looks better, sounds better and is probably the more collectable of the two.

Now since my FGT has me covered for straight line speed, i'm clearly swaying towards the CS. HOWEVER, a low miles nicely spec'd Scud in Dubai will only cost me around $25k more than what it would cost me to import a CS from Europe. Would i be completely mad to still go for the CS??

Thanks in advance guys and sorry for the long post. Just wanted to put all my thoughts down

I would pick the scuderia, I like the f430 platform more and I like the Scud's aggressiveness.

I would say Scud for that price difference... or sell the FGT and get both

Stradale is my dream car but for 25k difference it would be hard to say no to a Scuderia..Very tough decision..

Fuel&Fire - I'm way too attached to the FGT to sell it!

Barrister - Many thanks for the article. Exactly the detailed comparison i was looking for.
