I've got a 2007 GT3 and an 09 Scud. Can't vouch for the 2010 RS, but the difference between the GT3 and the Scuderia is night and day. They are not even in the same league. Moving from the Scud to the GT3, the GT3 feels like a piece of junk. I never thought I'd say that about the GT3 either, but the Scuderia really is that much better. I've got a LWF in the GT3, and the responsiveness of the Scud, the amount of mechanical grip, brakes, and on a completely non-performance related issue, the sound, etc., etc., is unbelievable. The GT3 feels skittish with the shorter wheelbase, and the Scud lays down the power much better. I was a die-hard manual transmission guy before the Scuderia, but the transmission in the Scuderia is nothing short of miraculous. The first time I hit a 2-3 shift under hard acceleration, I couldn't stop laughing. Unbelievable.

The GT3 is my daily driver, and the Scud gets driven more than most Ferraris - I bought it to drive it, not keep it in a garage.

I've driven a GT3, test drove a scud and have now lived with a scud spider for almost a week. The scud loses nothing in top off form and is absolutely, maniacal. No comparison to a GT3. Almost as much fun as a CGT.

I've never driven a Scud or 16M. However, I think the 16M is likely one of the best driving experiences one could have price no object.
