I don't know how many folks have seen a Scud in person or even ridden or driven one. I have seen and ridden and the level of "exotica" is light years ahead of a Porsche. Metal and alcantara cabin, carbon bits all over the place, there is no doubt in anyones mind that you are experiencing a very very special car. Of course the GT3 sounds good but the Scud sounds like a pissed off wounded animal. Otherworldly.

Reter, get a 4.0RS, then we do a showdown: autoX, drag racing and track laps (Daytona + Sebring + PBIR).

The loser pays for drinks.

I like the Delirium Tremens.

Try harder Nizer, find me a list of failures in the Scuderia. I have a gigantic list of failures experienced with my 996 GT3, and 997.1 GT3 RS. And these two cars are way more reliable than the 3.8 GT3 RS.

..but this forum is GT3 biased, and GT3 blind, so all the GT3 design/assembly/quality failures are allright.

So, back to Topic: no 4.0RS for sale. Even the pricey ones are changing hands, so I expect 4.0RS gaining value and setting comfortably in the $225k range, and the 3.8 RS approaching the $150k range (just $15k shy of Scuderia prices).

I have to agree that Rad is pretty spot on with his Scuderia pricing. You can find a 08 scud with 10k miles for around 160, some lower, depending on color/options. Most Scuds prices online are ridiculously over priced, anything above 185k wont sell, and that dealer knows it. They're just sitting on their inventory or waiting for a retard to walk in and thrown down the black card.

Look harder Ranger, you can def find a nice example for under 180k, right options with less than 7k miles.

This is true. This particular forum is very heavily GT3 biased. I think they let me in here just to laugh behind my back!

Have you recently purchased one? I have. 160k is not going to do it. The Fchatters will confirm that. 160 may get you one that's been wrecked. There is an 08 listed out there with 2400 miles for 179k which had damage. 08's with 3-4k miles are 175-185k. Low mile 09's are 185-195k. Just ask the guys who have recently purchased.

I have tracked my GT3 extensively and last year was treated to a 20 lap blast around PBIR in a Scud. As others who have DRIVEN both cars have said, there is NO comparison. Stock tires sucked and I kept thinking what the care would be like the MPSC or R6's!! The Scud is a very very special car and my take on the car both from an engineering standpoint and speaking with others who have many track miles on those cars is they are the most solid reliable F-car in years. Essentially unbreakable. And very very quick. Gearbox blasts off shift with an awesome pop in the back with no fade of brakes for the 20 laps I ran. Judging by NJ-GT level of understanding of the car it would seem if you could get one for 170 it would be one hell of a track car that will likely not lose any value long term. If you couldnt tell I loved the Scud, and generally speaking I am not an F-car fan.
