Scuds are awesome, I have 2 of them
As far as being reliable, I had 2 430 Challenge cars, one with 13k kilometers, one with 8k kilometers with no issues. The two guys I sold them to are still tracking them with just regular service. The most expensive repairs were the wheel bearings, $1800 a corner. If you drive on curbs, you will replace them every year, if not, they will last a while. The Scud I track has been bullet proof so far. The only upgrades I have done are, steel brake conversion, Roll Bar, harnesses and a custom exhaust (reduced weight by 32lbs). As soon as they find a fix for the issues on the 991 GT3, I will take it to the track and run it back to back against the Scud.

How much track did you do in a year?

Thanks. So far with this car, I have done about 400 track miles in the past two weekends at COTA. In my Challenge car about 2k track miles last year. In my 2010 RS I had 1500 track miles last year.

Scuds are super reliable on street use. I put about 10k miles in my scud and 10 k in my f430. Both were perfect zero issues. The clutch life after 11k was still at 79% left , you don't change it until below 40%.
I also owned a 997.2 Gt3 , great track car . But for street use i find Ferrari more exciting. I haven't driven a 991 gt3 but based on reviews it looks like a lot of fun. Good luck ! you cant go terribly wrong with either one of them.

IMHO If you plan to track then a GT3 is much better choice than a Scuderia. The Scuderia is ideal for street use and once a year DE use. The CCB are pricey. I feel that service costs will limit somebody who is looking in the $150K range.
In that price range, I would look for a 2012 McLaren. You get DCT, steel brakes and a 3 yr. warranty. You should be good to go.
