I was lucky enough to drive a 430 scud over the last couple of days. What a machine. The sound and rawness is spectacular! Feels like the rear axle will separate from the car at gear changes.
I wish the 991RS would look like the scud on the inside. The full carbon doors, trackmats, center console. The whole package breaths rawness.

RS 4.0 and Speciale Aperta in this category would be my dream pair! I love the Scuderia so much though, I think the rear end is just sooo amazing looking. What a car!

That is why I did not order any CF trim in my GT3. Its not like you can have all CF trims and panels. If I can do it like my SCUD, I would have ordered it but you cant. For a scud(the CF trim) its both form and function. For a GT3, CF is only for form, no function.

I saw the alum trim and they look nice too. So I ordered brushed aluminum, IMO perfect match. NO mismatch at least.

Design wise the Scud trumps the 458 in my opinion. Others may disagree. But I love Ferrari's with the four round taillights over the the more modern two.

Couldn't agree more! This is my go to picture for why the Scud is awesome!

The inside of the Scud was amazing....I especially loved the bare diamond plate floor.....

Does not mean anything, only it is faster in a straight line. Fun to see what I have been telling my friends, my 7 year old SCUD is faster than my 4 month old GT3 in a straight line.

I'd have to say that the Scud was a car I never liked how it drove on the road.

It was way to raw and rough and I have owned many track and race cars in the past and IMO the Speciale was a big step forward.

If you want a track car buy a GT3 period.....!!

If you want an awesome road car buy a 650S, F12, Speciale or a 458 or 488.

There is a properly setup Scud that was done by one of the local shops - Aidesign. I would take it over a GT3 and probably even an RS.

This is an old photo and the car has been improved further since then - but it gives you the idea.
