16M is the best looking/sounding drop top v8 Ferrari of the modern era.

whatever you do, don't get the carbon sides skirts. It was a great idea but it just doesnt flow.

for me : 16m>CS>Scud

I know I'll be the lone dissenting opinion here, but it's a f*cking convertible 'high performance' sports car. It's a money-grab model.

@Kristof: They have already come down in price quite a bit, no modern car really keeps it's value except for one or two.
They have, but they won't as much as the f430 or italia.
See it on a positive note: you could save some money

The Challenge Stradale is still one of my favorites Ferrari's, too bad they didn't made a spider variant.
I'd choose the CS over the Scuderia, but I don't know if I'd choose it over the 16M.

Did you already test-drove them? That could help.

And this:

silly rabbit
You can't compare those two on any scale.

CS will hold it's value and be more collectible in the future.

16m is a rigid and loud Scud with a drop top.

It will always in my mind and several other Ferrari people be well known as the last true Convertible Ferrari made if they keep up the allusion of that new Spider Targa they just are now making.

It's brutal fast. It's a vert. It's a fantastic car but oh so hard on the butt on long runs. It makes the scud look like a GT They really beefed up the body to make the Scud a vert.

Get both you cheap SOB
