Ferrari Challange Stradale Apprecation

The five-valves-per-cylinder 3.6-liter V-8 was massaged to increase power from 400 to 425 horsepower. Meanwhile, the liberal use of carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum, and Lexan trimmed nearly 250 pounds of fat to reduce the curb weight to 2822 pounds. Upgraded dampers and springs improved cornering adhesion by eight percent, while carbon-ceramic brakes featuring gargantuan fifteen-inch front rotors reduced the stopping distance by five percent. Throw in 50 percent more downforce, and you're looking at a 3.5-second improvement in lap times around Ferrari's Circuito di Fiorano.

Agreed. The Ferrari 360 CS is my all-time favorite. The exhaust/engine note alone is godly and it works better than viagra too.

I think its nice, but its no match for an f430 scuderia. Come on. 510 hp, wider track, better transmission technology.... the list goes on. Its a classic and always will be , but like all ferraris, the newest is generally the best performer
