TK arrived with his Scuderia yesterday....so today we went out for some pedal to the metal driving on a rural empty road.

we ran the cars from standstill and from 50 km/h to approx 200 km/h...i guess we did about 10 runs.

it was really amazing to unfold these 2 cars power. they are definitely monsters...equal monsters.

we were equal on basically all pulls except for when either I or TK jumped the throttle. even then, the gap created would remain equal.

both cars are truly amazing. we will do some more shots and maybe a video in the next couple of days.

 

Thanks for the comparo. Looking forward to a video.

 

As long as you dont chip your car then the scuderia is besides you, you should invest in a D SLR camera I am having one shipped by this months.

 

i won't chip my gt2...what for ? the car is more than enough as is.
we only have 95 RON octane available here...with 98 the car will run quite a bit harder as boost would kick in sooner and higher pressure for longer.

i have a nikon d slr camera....too hefty to carry around...

 

Thanx for the pix…

But I just can not get over the fact that you have these cars in Egypt… the roads and the way people drive is just scary!!!

How did you guys launch? Did you both use the “launch control” feature?

 

when i used my launch control i really flew away.....we did not use lc on the scud as it's heavy on the clutch.

 

nice...
looking forward for the vids

 

awesome, cant wait for vids

 

We raced both cars yesterday. It was a super drive with lots of adrenalin. I have never enjoyed a drive like this one and like Intouch1 said, they are monsters and both cars are superfast and I cannot say that one is faster than the other.......they are equal in performance. Both cars are amazing on the road and really pull side by side maybe inches apart depending on who's quicker on the start line. The cars stay together till about 200km/hr.......we didn't race them above that speed. I took the Scuderia till 270km/hr and it still handled perfectly.

The Scuderia cannot be compared to the F430.......both cars are extremely different. The Scuderia is incredibly fast, the gear changing is very smooth and very swift and the car handling and steering is incredible.......the Scuderia just does excatly what you want to do when you want to do it. The steering is very precise and the throttle response is amazing. The engine responds immediately and swiftly throughout the rpm range to any changes in throttle, even at very low rpm, unlike the F430. The Scuderia is perfectly engineered. IMO, the Scuderia is perfect in all driving aspects. My last comment for now for anyone still buying a Scuderia...........do not get a sound system. You do not hear anything even at full volume.......seriously. I had the stereo at full volume, I think the level was "49" which is maximum volume on the Becker unit and above 5000 rpm I could not hear anything except the exhaust sound which is incredibly load.

 

Some pictures of my Scuderia which I took yesterday prior to the race with intouch1's GT2...........
