For all those contemplating (or have already done) a CS TCU upgrade for your 360 to improve shift speeds you REALLY need to upgrade to CS Engine ecu firmware too as the 1999 firmware isn't very compatible and actually causes premature clutch wear on early cars. Better to get both tcu and engine ecus done if you want CS performance too. Get in touch with Aldous or Eddie @avengineering in Kent, 🇬🇧 and they can help you. They can even do Challenge Stradale Firmware on a gated car.

the car needs some love mate, detailing is very needed

I would get it detailed and PPF'd then daily it. Do love the Strads!

Top man! Your so dedicated mate. I thought I knew my Ferrari’s. Love watching your videos and keep up the good work 👍🏼

Hi Scott, enjoyed hearing about this - thanks for putting the time in. It's great to hear from someone having put the time and money in themselves, to achieve their dream car. I'd love to see a video of you running through all the cars you've had (exotic or not!) with photos of them, when/why you bought, what happened to them and why and also... A run through update on what your plans are for each of the cars in your current fleet. Cheers Iain

Great video. I would love to see a professional detail done on the car to see what can be done. This car has a story like no other so I feel “revival detail” video would get a lot of attention.

You should have AMMO NYC come and detail this beauty, so satisfying to watch Larry clean dirty cars. This car is sweet either way tho, it’s driven the way it’s meant to be!

Every other youtuber would have had the car detailled to perfection before showing off his pride like this. I like your style, sir!

LOOK MA I AM ON THE TV!

I enjoy your smile when you put down the throtre more than even the 360

Hey Ratarossa I want express how much I love your channel! Your Ferrari expertise is seriously impressive, and your passion for these cars truly shines through in every video. Your content always keeps me engaged and I learn something new every time. Keep up the great work!

Watching you and Sam work on your Ferrari’s, rebuilding them and beating the common myths that go with the cars has got me hopeful that once I buy a house I can do the same, Thank you!

Hello sir Thank you for all of your great videos you’ve done a very professional job. I have restored a Ferrari 360 that had the interior burned out due to the battery blowing up and catching everything on fire. I had to chisel everything out got parts on eBay from all over the world including wiring harness is. Then I had to figure out how to repair the body work and paint it. Local guys wanted $6000 to paint it. So I had to learn how to paint. That came courtesy of other generous contributors to KZfaq. It’s not perfect but from five or 10 feet away it looks good. I also have a 348TS that I have done an engine out service on. And just finished fixing a 2010 California that I bought at auction. Watching your videos helps me keep enthused about working on the cars. I have purchased the computer system you use from the link you provided in an earlier video it seems to do the job. It would be helpful to understand better how to use it. If you have time maybe you could devote a video to using that computer on Ferraris and others. The manual you use in your videos looks a different from the download I was able to buy on eBay. If you have anything better please post it on your next video Car guys find staying at home working on our cars not that big of a hardship. Most of my friends call me a workaholic hermit. But I do love the cars. Stay safe have a good day Texas Bob

great video, really impressive attention to detail, dont spill coffee on those seats !!

perfect! finally someone who gets it! if you do it, do it 100% right! to perfection. I do see some screws missing. door panel and engine compartment right: D

Very interesting. Very informative. Prices for parts are mind blowing. A really enjoyable video. I am always looking forward to the next one. Thank-you.

Love the car and all, but mate seriously I don't understand why you would keep your car so dirty. Surely, detailing isn't that expensive in UK.

Another great film mate 👍🏻 Thank you for this. This is something I have tried to explain to many people who insist special cars like this are the same as the base model's. Funny enough... You never hear an owner telling you they are the same.

Love the nerdiness! How about a video on how to make a standard 360 more CS-esque on a budget? What aftermarket parts to use, which upgrades to have and which ones to skip, and so on. I'd watch that! But then again, I watch all your uploads... 🙄

That was awesome. I want a second Ferrari to daily drive too!

I need to watch this now! plus can't wait to see this car too look knew again after long years. Also since you owned before 430 scuderia and now again would be nice to listen a little more about it.

Great video. Very instructive. Your were either very brave 10 years ago or wildly crazy. Car is beautiful and sounds awesome. Look forward to the live stream next week.

What an investment Rata - fair play pal. Dreams ⭐️

The sound alone makes it all worth while.

Honestly if I had a 360 or a strad I would daily it too. I would have to hear that sound every day

Dam that is probably the best replica I have ever seen

2 great up and coming channels thank god for internet during shite time

Great video as usual

cant wait till you get STG and Jayemm in this thing. Love the Strad!

Do a vid on a full pro detailing. It kills me seeing it dirtier than the truck!

U just put every, CarTuber, to shame going on that price option list just a conversion. Most popular cartubers mentioned started out with 4 bangers and Copart queens. Great Video!

YOO this thing is pure evil! Thanks for sharing this - could watch all day.

Fascinating details about the car and true passion vs normal KZfaqr hype. I have learned with age to never say never though :-)

Depends on what type of race yer talki'n bout but I suppose I'd have to go with you & the Ferrari.

James May eat your heart out. Well done Scott.

Very impressive. Always look forward to new vids. I’m doing my own 360 special conversion.

Fantastic vid a truly special car you can forever enjoy, but surely it deserved a wash before that shake down! 😁

Love to hear both of them - but CS all day long!

Nice Scott ,how about a toolbox tour,love to see what kit you got to keep these beasts on the road

Come on, a Sierra Cosworth vs a Stradale!? No contest. Leagues apart. Love the Cossie, but it really is no match for the Stradale Rata (and you know it!) 👍 But do the video anyway, love Rob and watching his channel. Would love you guys to strike it up 🔥🔥🔥

I know it’s your daily and all that but it needs a clean and some love !!

101% worth every time, headache and penny spent.😎👏🏻🙌🏻

You should consider doing a 599 GTB to 599 GTO manual conversion. 599 are very reasonably priced now.

Love your channel. Love your content and your cars. But man, I would desperately like to detail them all to make them look amazing. For all that attention to detail on converting the car, you have my greatest respect. (Give em a clean though)

Awesome content, your channel should be way bigger than it is!

Thanks man great video, incredible job...it was a pity let it unknown...really MEGA. Sharing knowledge is upper class✨

Keep it comin!! 👍👍👍

Thanks ! Any argue with the sound. Spine tingling.

Been looking forward to this.

Terrific video! I enjoyed watching every minute of it!

5&half grand flr a wing mirror madness

Love your channel, I love your blood sweat and tears 360 project. I spent the better half of the last year or so fixing up and restoring a “rescue” 360 Modena , but I yearn for a stradale. There is a local black one with white stripe here in Texas down the street from where I live. 🤔 Also the calipers and rotors are similar in size to the Enzo but they are indeed separate part numbers from Ferrari.

Thanks for the amazing video Scott, that car is just perfect. So all the parts come from a parta car?! Accident?! Cheers

Im so glad you posted this vid ive been trying to find the ratarossa vid interview on The smoking tire channel . Thats what got me started following you watching. That one vid and could not find it again ;-( Now ive just rewatched it :-) awsome car that testorossa :-)

Love it and love the fact that it’s not pristine. Would make it a lot easier to daily not worrying about every little mark or chip.

Excellent! I've watched a number of your videos and this time I decided to subscribe. I have a soft spot for the 360 Spider w/stick. Currently have a GTV6 well modded and in the paint shop now for a long over do re freshening.

Loved it mate

Loving all the cameos, found your channel via the samcrac crossover.

308s my favourite, classic Ferrari, enjoying your show.

15:40 - Looks like your front tire is flat, or the stones are making it look that way.

Yep, it really sounds AMAZING! 😁👍🏻

"I can't look like a hooligan" But I CAN sound like one! :D Mr Scott one day, I would love to do a possible vid involving my golf R and your lovely CS. Kind of a Italian Supercar vs a modern day Fast hatchback? Love your content. BTW the R is awesome but the sound just does NOT cut it verses the Fezza! Keep up the good work!

Very well explained... Fasinating build.... And that's a good deal for a low mileage standard 360....👍.

Thats a brilliant video, rather you than me on this one, a real labour of love. Had I the money the eye popping cost of bits thats to me just don't represent value would put me off.

Thanks for the content over the Covid 19 lockdown. keep it coming

I can't wait to see mods you're going to do on Sam's 360.

Hero! Love this car!

“Ratarossa” Have you ever or would you ever consider doing a full restoration and respray on this Ferrari 360 Stradale to bring your daily driver back upto Pristine condition once again.

Basically you’d never try this conversation now as the parts are either unobtainable or too expensive.

I know she’s your daily but she’s starting to look like she needs some cosmetic love , an absolute beauty none the less !

Happy day’s Saturday night

You’re a madman! It would be cool to take it to a Ferrari dealership and see what they say! Perhaps also what they would offer you for it!!

There's no way I'd ever risk losing a Ferrari over a Sierra Cosworth. It's far from a crap car, but it ain't no prancing horse!

Scott - ever consdered a manual box here to make one of the few 'Manual CS's' out there? Love your vids! My biggest complaint is that they dont come often enough! Watching the 512 BBI build atm too! Full support for you on that one

Would love to see a series of Ratarossa T-shirts with the CS on them......

Great video. Didn't realise there were so many little details that were changed. Love the fact that you get stuck in and work on it yourself. Can't be too many Ferrari owners that get their hands dirty. Love all kinds of cars but can't help but feel they are taking the piss with the parts prices. What do you think the car would be valued at being a conversion?

I absolutely loved this video. Did you make much money back selling the original Modena parts from the car or did you hold on to them? Its absolutely incredible you daily the thing and love that its filthy.

I used to do insurance work for greypaul Ferrari Nottingham back in the day when this came out , fitting stripes and clearcoating them was a common acurance. Always used to shit myself fitting them, as was reminded how expensive they were. For me it's a proper grab it by the balls car that still looks super cool today, and that sound , ye baby...

awesome content!

Thanks for sharing and what an experience it must have been doing that. But please, WASH THE CAR AND COVER IT!!!! Should we start a crowd fund and get you some covers??

Marvellous work, really enjoyed that video. Did you buy all the bits separately from Ferrari direct or did you know someone with a doner car? Fabulous work though - you'd never in a million years know the history by visual inspection alone.

Nice very nice. Saw you at good wood as miami vice with ferrari.

Love this Ferrari Stradale. I understand the every day smile. What idiot would put a radio in this car. You got a compleet orchestra in the rear. Keep up this fantastic boydream foutage.

(2:08) ".. and this is what my dreams look like.." (CEL in dash) 😄

Fascinating, thanks!

Another fantastic video.. Thank you thank you thank you :)

I've done some research. Turns out the maximum legal speed in the UK is the same for both the 360 AND the 360 Stradale. Shocker!!!! Who'd have thought it? How much for a Ferrari factory fitted upgrade for the maximum legal speed limit in the UK? Is that even available? If so what's the price? Till then I'm sticking with my old 328 :) Thanks for the film!

Really interesting video, good work! Question though.......if this car was written off by the insurers for some reason, would it be classed as a stradale, therefore attracting stradale settlement prices, or would you get Modena money?

Hello from Gran Canaria amazing job with your toys.

I love the channel and I love the car, but if you take a 360 Modena and then take all the parts from a challenge stradale and put them on the Modena it doesn’t mean you have a CS it means you have a modified Modena all be it a very good one.

Safe to say say STG Sam is watching this

What a great video. Loved it all. You have been very fortunate to be able to own all these cars. As for a question , what I’ve never heard you say ( perhaps you have but I’ve not watched it) how do you know so much about these car mechanics etc. Are you or have you worked for Ferrari dealer or something .

Hell yea

All depends if he leaves the Cosworth 204 BHP, he would have to have it 'Breathed on' a tad, stand more of a chance with the RS Focus & with that less chance of collecting the scenery.

Hi, how do you see Ferrari prices going with the current situation? I'm looking at purchasing a 360 Modena, I've been watching for a while and glad I didn't dip in now. I'm just wondering how low they will go when the financial squeeze really hits home.

Daily driven for 10 years? thats worth it right there.. great looking car love the sound!!

I love this video! How many miles does your CS have now??

Absolute pleasure to see such an icon being used and not in concours condition. Please don't detail or restore it!

Like it's a daily.......nice one for the Strad lesson........are they all F1 no stick ?

Superb informative video Rat’s . Loved this....The ups & downs of owning a Ferrari........ Insurance, how do you cover all these? Under one policy or separate?
