DRIVEN: Why The Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale May Be The Most Overrated Ferrari Of All Time...

Рет қаралды 83,994

Күн бұрын

In today's video, courtesy of kind owner Rob I am finally getting to sample the incredible Ferrari Challenge Stradale. Based on the 360, a massive leap on from the old F355, the Challenge Stradale was the first time Ferrari built a car like this in significant numbers.
With a stripped interior, a louder exhaust and sharper styling than the regular 360, the Stradale has gone on to be lauded as one of the greatest prancing horses of all time. But is it really that good, and better than my 430 Scuderia?

I think that time has been very kind to the 360. I remember being underwhelmed when it came out (and subsequently thinking that the 430 was a huge improvement). Fast forward 20 years and I now consider the 360 to be one of the prettiest Ferrari's ever built - and a MUCH nicer design than the 430!

@wallyr.7854 2 жыл бұрын

Well said, for years the 360 has been overshadowed by the 430, but to me the 360 is prettier and in my opinion a rawer feel to driving it. Plus lets not forget the 360 was first V8 model to put on display the very heart of a Ferrari, it’s beautiful engine. LOVE the 360 😍

@Galatzo 2 жыл бұрын

For me the biggest flaw of the 430 is that had to use the 360's glass, so the design was half lower Enzo-esque and angular, but the half top was softer and roundish The 360 i've always seen it as a much purer design

Mostly agree: for me the 430 sort of looks like the Hyundai Coupe designers had a take at redesigning the 360. (The 360 is far from perfect in itself though, granted) When it comes to the practicalities of the actual car, the 430 is probably a smarter buy.

I downloaded 2 pictures of each (430 scud & 360 CS) from Roman's International. Same shot angle and location. And after going back and forth between the two. I'd have to say the 360 CS is a more beautiful design IMO. The flow of the design and the quad exhaust out the back is timeless.

One other significant change from the 355 was a tiny bit of attention to the customer experience in service costs. Whereas with the 355 a cam belt change was an expensive engine out affair the 360 has a cunning access panel in the bulk head between the seats. That lowers the cost (or should) by 70%. To access the battery (jump start etc) in a 355 required the removal of a front wheel! The 360 had an innovative gel battery under the passenger's feet.

The servicing costs on the engine out cars (Mondial 3.4t; 355; Testarossa) was a massive downside on the ownership experience! I have changed from a 1993 Mondial 3.4t to a 1988 Mondial 3.2 because of the huge service cost difference! Typically £2,500 on an annual service at a Main Dealer on the 3.4t compared to £390 on the 3.2 at a specialist in older Ferrari cars. The selection of who services the older cars is important, & using someone who knows the cars through years of working with them is vital. I use Peter Higgins Sports Cars. A Ferrari Main Dealer will charge around £1250 plus vat as their overheads are higher. On an old Mondial I do not consider having a Main dealer stamp in the service book, will alter its saleability! More important is how many miles it hasn’t done! I only buy high mileage Ferrari’s! Low mileage ones are trouble & costly to renew bushes, suspension & engine parts that need more use! My 3.2 is now at 71,250 miles & going well!

@@nickrichardson7451 When I arrived in the UK I was shocked at what main dealers charge for servicing Ferrari. On a current model car it was about 2.5 times what we charge as main dealers in Australia. In my view the Ferrari dealers in the UK are just using fear of non dealer stamps to profiteer.

I had a CS (with hyperflow cats) for 9 years and a Scud for 8 years, CS looks fab but unless you are above 7k RPM the CS TOTALLY lacks torque and was very glad to get rid of it the day I part exchanged it for the Scuderia. The best combination would of course be the CS body with a Scud engine and gearbox. I never really loved the Scud either, difficult to pin it down why so sold it for a 991 GT3 RS, which is a vastly superior car. Just to note though that I have also owned and still do a F430 Spider with those lovely Carbon Racing Seatings and Carbon brakes, this is the best of the bunch, its my favourite car!

The Ferrari also might need a flash tune if its running ruff or lacking power.

What I've found over many years looking for good used cars is that you can never tell what's been done to them, or how well they have been maintained and looked after. So many buy standard cars and modify them to look like the rare models. The 911 is a favourite car for doing this. Having said that, I have found it necessary in order to come to any meaningful conclusion about a car, you need to drive several versions of the same model to get a good overall opinion of the car, especially as these cars are heading towards being 20 years old. A lot can happen to them during that time.

I wonder how old those tyres are ? Michelin PS4S all the way on the CS! The steering on any 360 / F430 platform is so entirely dependant on setup its going to vary from car to car so greatly. Don't forget these cars including the Scuderia all share the exact same parts! Also I experienced (strangely) that so many cars don't have the steering column bolts tightened up to correct torque which can also lead to slop/play from the dead ahead but the main issue is usually related to suspension setup including rake ratio front to rear , ride height , etc. Toe at front also greatly improves sharpness. I bet within a few hours I could absolutely transform that silver example to drive better than your Scuderia does with some TLC. I'd also start with replacing all the wishbone bushes, gearbox bush and engine mounts and do full geo reset. You need to drive my car to feel how much better it can be setup ! Nice video though overall. 👍 I can also fix the torque issue too and yes that's entirely software dependant! 😉

@@ecyout it's actually significantly more time saving and for most is going to be less expensive to go factory CS route. Depends on how far you want to take it a huge number of detailed changes across the entire car where done to get the CS to the factory level of tune beyond just electronics. Yes many CS examples are sadly now garage queens with under 15k miles and subsequently have deteriorated significantly in terms of their outright performance and handling but they sure do look shiny (joke). Some are even (perish the thought) on their stock 15 year old tyres. It's actually very hard to start with a base 360 and not spend at least the value of the car to modernize and refresh the brakes , suspension, wheels, ECUs , weight loss, etc. And even then there are so many special parts on a CS that the more you delve the more you appreciate the differences.

He got the 360 because it was the closest thing to a CS that he could comfortably afford at the time, and he's said he doesn't want to tick the CS box yet becuase he hasnt reached the stage in life when he wants to complete the goal

.. and the fact AV Engineering gave him CS software ++ with a CS exhaust and he's got a gated car with carbon seats so actually his car is already extremely fun and setup for pure enjoyment.

His 360 is also a gated manual which is nice. Which you can’t get with the CS, i’d much rather do what he did.

How is the F430 and 430 Scud engine different? I thought it was just some more free flowing intake, exhausts and tune?

@f430ferrari5 2 жыл бұрын

I read some article where it states some internal engine parts were lighter so it gave me the impression the engine revs quicker to 8,500 rpm. Exhaust is different for sure. It has the carbon air intakes and even the carbon manifold.

A few months ago there was a red CS for sale from a specialty/exotic dealer in Toronto. $299k CDN! A bit much I think (at the same time there was a Scud for sale in B.C. for about $275k, but it didn't sell and they relisted it at $299k). Both had about 20ish thousand kms.

I much prefer the look of the CS over the skud, but dynamically the skud will be the better place to be, I'd still choose the CS as if you buy a track special you sort of expect there to be compromises with road use, good review 👍

My friend had a mint CS years ago sold it for 90k the dealer sold it days later for £105k and a few years later they were worth £250k+ I enjoyed reminding him this… not sure what they go for now. He did take me out on track once that was fun.

It’s a beautiful looking car but the premium over the regular 360 is absurd. The silver with racing stripes actually doesn’t look naff on this car & I love the wheel design. Nice review!

I've never cared for the look of the 430. But as time moves on, I still don't like the look of the 430. As far as "pretty" goes ; the standard 360 spider, is the prettiest and cleanest of that era. Personally I dig the CH most. (In dark blue, no stripe)

So for looks I'll go with 360 over the 430, I think they're really similar looking but prefer the headlights on the 360. Agree the hype of the stradale is silly, it'll pass probably

Perhaps the steering feel is being impacted by the worn bushings? These cars are very sensitive to this and /or worn or old tyres.

@agracer1000 2 жыл бұрын

You cannot simply bolt in a CS ECU on a standard 360 and get CS power. The CS has larger MAF sensors and larger intake boxes to allow more airflow. The fuel maps and throttle tables on the CS would not work on the standard 360. Also, CS had a more free flowing exhaust.

Well a car's image and reputation is not just about the technical perfectness. It's about how it maks you feel, what emotions you have when you're in it and put the pedal to the metal. And: Your many scenes where you just let the engine scream the most beautiful melody in car history says it all why people will always love this car.

@MrGB1999 2 жыл бұрын

The comment I always hear about the Strad is that it is just too stiff for the road. Which is a shame. And if being honest "Sport Mode" (ie stiff mode) in a regular Modena is also too crashy for crap roads (hacking a 360 to stay permanently in regular / soft is 100% the best thing you can do with a 360). So although I've not driven a CS, I can only imagine that that observation is probably true..

@georger2748 2 жыл бұрын

Own a scud and have driven CS. I think CS wins on sound, and there are fewer of them… but scud wins just about everywhere else. Looks are subjective and in the end both are great examples of ‘raw’ sports cars. Newer models are faster and more useable, but few deliver the sensations these do
