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.

The blue car is beautiful! Love the interior and they are roomy as well!
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.
