As they come from the factory (stock vs. stock), both cars handle very well, the Scuderia has much better handling, feels easier to drive, but the mechanical grip is superior in the 7GT3.
The stock alignment specs on the Scuderia promote massive understeer, Ferrari puts as much toe-in in the front axle as a Boxster/Cayman have in the rear axle, and even more toe-in in the rear axle. Easy to drive, but very slow.
Once you change the tires for better street tires and wider wheels, with a more track focused alignment, the Scuderia performs a lot better than the 7GT3, as long as the tires are not that sticky (MPSC, R888). Once you go with really sticky tires (R6, A6, slicks, V710), things get really bad again due to the lack of available suspension travel, at this point the car needs stiffer springs/sway bars.

Scud prices look interesting and not much too loose as bridge between now and the 458 or McLaren being available
