I was lucky enough to have a good friend let me drive it. Seriously, it might not have torque but the car is very raw, visceral and I loved every minute of it....

now we have a point.

the beauty of it is very raw, race car feel. no modern V8 Ferrari can touch the look & package, 430 included. since u have the F40 u might have a different point of view.

do u want another raw Ferari not as raw as what u have and go slower?

Not , every one can handle them, it is one of the hardest ferraris out there to drive

I am in love with the Stradale, it is just fun as heck to drive!! And the sound is just incredible inside and especially out.

Very fast!! Not sure how many of us can drive this on the track at 9/10th's or 10/10th's. The cars limits exceed my capabilities!!

Steering input is very precise and balanced.

Downside is that its only available with F1 system. It does however shift faster than the 360's..

i would rather get a 360 Challenge car for the track.

360 CS's are indeed very raw and i love them as well, but if you have an F40 how much more raw and race-car like can you get
