I would not track it. Keep it stock. Use for sunday joy rides, etc. I have my cup for track. not to jack the thread, but anyone have experience w/360 CS? Not interested in plucking $200k+ on a Scud. Don't need that much car for the street.

I'm no expert on Ferrari market conditions (you could check Sports Car Market magazine, Ferrari Market Letter or wade through the opinions on ferrarilife.com or ferrarichat.com or subscribe to ferrarilist.com.)

The Challenge Stradale, from my observations over the last couple of years as I variously considered having an enjoyable F in the garage, so to speak, has gone from sought-after to almost cult status, then losing its place once the bone stock F430 could outpace it convincingly. History then repeated as the once unobtainable, over-gouged F430 fell on hard times in the economy and the double whammy of the F458 being convincingly superior to the Scuderia.

The thing about the CS is, it's a pretty sharp knife and it's an expensively built car to keep sharp. Ceramic brake rotors, F1 gearbox and so on. I'm sure it's an expensive car to drive at the track even if you had all the right connections and resources to maintain it without the dealer overhead.

tracking a 360 would be like Tracking a TT pretty much useless as they are in stock form..
I dont think I ever mentioned I planned on tracking it, lol .. I also have a Ford 150 platinum and a 993 TT i love... but wouldn't waste my time tracking those either... as like 50% of the GT3 owners will never track their Gt3's..

The gt3 owners who dont track are the bubble wrappers

They save them for those of us that use them up and spit them out

Those who buy a gt3 as a street car confuse me, there are such better street cars

It's nice to see you guys are much more accepting of someone who dips their toes in the Ferrari waters than the guys over on the 993 forum.

Congrats on the 360 Matt. Enjoy it and your other toys in good health.

I always loved the sound of the CS and it is on my list to buy.
