Depends on your use. Scud>CS for all things driving in my book.

ALL Ferrari's are money grab

The 500-600 of these made while they were squeezing every inch out of the 360/430 body style Are very good cars.

If I were to own only 1 sportscar right now. Without question the 16m would be that car.

It really checks all boxes for single use car.

I'd take a 16M over an Aventador, 599 GTO, MP4-don'treallycare, etc. That glorious, unrestricted noise is something I hope to experience.

The again, I'd own (pipedreaming of course) a standard Scud over all the cars listed above.

@Kristof: I have driven the CS before, but not the 16M. Had the opportunity to drive it when one was on the market a few months back. I declined as I didn't want to tempt myself further

@Mark: Thanks pal. I appreciate your feed back. Interesting you say the 16M would be your choice given the two. I honestly thought you'd swing more to the CS. This isn't a purchase thread, merely opinions on the car

I like my CS and it's noise (insane) but I choose my Scud keys over it 9 of 10 times.

I agree, the CS sound is something you can never get tired of. Thanks again for your view, I appreciate it

LOL! I had to move my CS and a white Scud to get to that purdy white CS. Oh man she just howls! Ok, back on topic, I vote 16M; what an incredible car. Shame that the only grigio ferro 16M left the area.

Not in tune with color names, was that EJs 16M? And yes I love the look and sound of Marks CS... Though I've only had the privilege of driving the Scud.
