Ferrari 430 Scuderia specs

Unpopular opinion: the 430 Scuderia is the definitive way to own and drive a V8 Ferrari.

While some people may argue the 458 is the best Ferrari I feel like this one is just a bit more special. And louder of course. It still has these classic curves, not meant to be a rather futuristic one. Also the fact it really takes balls to control this stallion.

It's from the time when McLaren didn't shock the world with super fast DCT twin turbo acceleration like it did back in 2010, and Lamborghini wasn't striving for Nürburgring lap times. I see these up in heaven with the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 and the Corvette Z06 Z07.

One of the cars you wish it had a manual transmission. Then it would be perfect.

the 430s would smoke the zr1 if it had the same power as the italia

550 HP Nissan GTR vs F430 Scuderia. Nice race.

Porsche 991 GT3 vs Ferrari 430 Scuderia :

It seems that they both had good start.

Both cars have N/A engine 475HP vs 510 HP.

Well done -Ferrari- especially considering that Porsche has much better gearbox.

@ Fangio Man: The most exotic cars I see where I live is the occasional Porsche 911, Boxster, or Cayenne, people must have money in your neck of the woods.

I saw a black one today. :)

No.

Can This Car Beat Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and Porsche 997 GT2 in Straight Line ?.

Not the car it was made out to be. 7.39, a let down. A standard 480ps GTR KILLS THIS.Yes A NISSAN.DATSUN-call it what you want!

@lamboboy easy, top gear sucks.

Im amazed to see that the SLS roadster is faster than the Carrera GT at the Topgear test track. How is that possible?

SCUDERIA was the racing team which ENZO FERRARI worked for

Don't you think a direct comparison by a pro at Spa under the same conditions after the same number of laps tells us more than comparing a one or two hot lap test by a journalist under given conditions to what a manufacturer achieves under different conditions after basically unlimited testing, variation of tire pressure and suspension set-up, etc..?

a video of the run CONFIRMS the time with PROOF. Not having a video of the run makes it just a manufacturers CLAIM which is really just an "estimate."

so manufacturers have to provide a video OR a 3rd party verifier to CONFIRM AND PROVE a time rather than a CLAIM or manufacturer's "estimate" at a time.

7:18 = GT2RS Porsche Manufacturer CLAIM

7:19 = 2012 ZR1 Manufacturer conducted and video CONFIRMED.

7:24 =2012 GTR Manufacturer Conducted and video CONFIRMED

Manufacturer video CONFIRMED > Manufacturer CLAIM

kapish?

Says the fanboy...

You don't even know what claim means

"an assertion of something as a fact"

Having a video just makes it a more valid claim, not proof, anyway, proof of what?

Video=Proof

No Video = Claim

da Truth!

Only head to head test was won by Scuderia, also, that it has video doesn't make it not a claim, it's still a claim, video or not it's a claim.

F355,

the 2012 ZR1's time is factory run time with VIDEO PROOF so it is no claim.

The Porsche GT2RS 7:18 time is a CLAIM because it has no proof from video OR 3rd party verify. it's a claim. The only proof of GT2RS time at nurburgring is 7:24 by horst/sportauto.

If you want to throw out the nurburging times, there is still plenty of independent runs of the older 2008 ZR1 eating up the 430 worldwide.

clear?

ZR1 7:19.63 on Nordschleife is factory claim (and from 2011). Best independent test gave 7:38.
Then the most relevant direct comparison by pro Soheil Ayari at Spa is missing here:
2:40.0 430 Scuderia,
2:41.7 ZR1.
Taking this into account the 430 Scuderia is 0.9% faster in average.

where is the ZR1?

ZR1 IS KING!!!

Now I know why the 430S was almost 3 seconds slower at Jarama than the GT2,

The driver mentioned several times that the car was very tailhappy, specially in the highspeed turns of the track, so maybe the stock setup wasn't ideal for the track and it also plays a role that the test was done in November, he said that the tarmac was cold.

Source of the 0-100km, 1km time and 1/4mile time, the pics have been taken down but the data is there.

I went up the test and the time reference circuit

the laptime was never added

Deleted most likely to lacking reference.
