It has been 2 weeks and after 800ish miles, I'm quite happy with the switch. Fiat is amazing in terms of power delivery, sound it makes and handling (even though thing is pretty tail happy around medium speed corners). But, build quality in RS is better, I think. Hoping to get back into 3.8 or 4.0 RS'es once 991 GT variants are released and most RS prices are settled because $220k for 4.0 RS is plain ridiculous, imo. Looking forward to the trackdays and I plan to do mostly with PCA. Anyone who are on the edge about Scuderias, I'd say just go for it. Car is incredibly fun and addicting to drive. That 500+hp V8 is the best I've come across and gearbox tops the whole new level of experience.

Just beautiful...congrats, but IMHO, all Ferraris should be red

I would love to have a Scud in Rosso Scuderia.

I like the gold stripes on black. Please share your experience with tracking the car. It'll be nice to have another data point.

Beautiful, and a real treat to drive. Definitely on the radar for the next mid life crisis, the padel shift era.

Use it in good health.

I saw the car this weekend and it looks incredible. Ken, I'd rather have a scuderia over a 4.0 RS.
