Great car. Have fun!

 

Beautiful...I'm speechless. Could anyone share approximately how much a slightly used (under 5k) CS goes for in the market right now?

 

i saw it on ferrarichat
for some reason, it looks better here

 

Good point Hamann7! The only time this clown jumps in is when he wants to trash Porsche or Porsche-owners....

 

There are 2 CS listed on the Ferrari Market Letter for under $200k (about list depending on options). Shelton Ferrari has one with 3,200 miles for $199,000. A private seller has one with 1,700 miles for $199,500. There are several other between $200k and $225k.

 

Agreed, what a "ricer" troll...

 

195-210 on the east coast. 210-225 on the west coast. as long as the milage is fairly low, it seems to have very little effect on value.

 

WOW! - would trade my TT any day for that -

 

Goodwood I don't hate you for owning such a sweet ride, I hate you for not waiting one year so I could get your previous ride!!

So, give us a review! Compare it with your previous X50 - spare no detail!

 

Thanks for the info guys. Right now I can probably find a Gallardo for about $150k with similar mileage (2-3k), but I think the CS is definitely worth the extra cash!

 

Well, the 1st thing that comes to mind is the serioius torque difference. The X50 has tons, the CS, well let's just say it's weak in comparison. Score one for the X50. The 2nd most glaring difference is the engine note. That one has to go to the CS. With it's sport exhaust at full song and high rpm, there's nothing this side of Charlene Therone that can compare. It's positively orgasmic! I even has the slightly louder than stock Ruf on my X50. Hands down winner, the Ferrari. Which brings me to ride/handling. The X50 with ROW, rode infinitely softer & nicer, imo, than the CS, in Sport mode, even before you engage Race mode. Also, I have never experienced racing shells before, and they're really taking some getting used to. They do have some rake adjustment, and my car was supposedly specified with the large size seats, but for someone that's only 5' 9" and 175lb, they're really tight, esp around the upper thigh... to the point they almost pinch. They force you into the proper seating position, whether you like it or not! So, ride qual combined with seat comfort go to the X50. Handling-wise, that's a tossup right now, since I'm only had 200 mi seat time in the CS in 40ish deg weather, and we all know how sticky compound tires hate cold weather! At present, I can't tell much difference, so that'll have to wait for another time. Fit and finish appear to be similar, but looks have to go to the F-car. And that CS sound, oh that glorious, unique Ferrari CS sound! It really has to be heard to be appreciated. Oh, ya, everybody says the stereo blows, but I have the "Hi-Fi" upgrade, and I'd say it's every bit as good as my Tundra LTD's! I'm about the complete opposite of an Audiophile, and it's fine for me... that is, when I even turn it on.

 

That is one seriously fabulous car.

As soon as I win the lottery, it's mine!!

 

An 04 tt cab isn't that far away in price is it?

PS...I wouldn't kick either of those rides out of the garage...Though the CS, pictured like that, just says "sex." Though I have had two girls tell me that is they think when they see my TT.

 

Goodwood - your car is stunning.
More reasons to scratch my head a little when I walk in my garage these days! Enjoy it man.

 

"Oh, ya, everybody says the stereo blows, but I have the "Hi-Fi" upgrade, and I'd say it's every bit as good as my Tundra LTD's!"

LOL, "opposite of an audiophile" is a little conservative. I have the $2k "Hi-Fi" upgrade and it's the biggest joke of a radio (I you can really say stereo or sound system) I've "ever" had in a car (and that includes the beaters when growing up). It doesn't bother me in the least though because it's hardly ever on given it can't much be heard of the real "sound system". I wouldn't want to dilute that CS music.
