F430 Scuderia v. SL65 AMG Black Series

BiTurboBenz · 05-06-2009, 12:27 AM

Same price, which would you choose and why?

I'd take the Scud for one reason: RESALE! SL65 Black is bada$$ though

TMC M5 · 05-06-2009, 11:45 AM

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia all the way...there is something about the scream of the Ferrari engine at redline. The SL65 Black Series is a great car but I lust after the 430 Scuderia.

Ferrari no need to think twice

Deeroff · 05-06-2009, 02:14 PM

Totally different cars - the SL Black would be an under-the-radar car for me - My Scuderia is not subtle (tho it is nero) - I track it often and do drive it into the City occassionally; however, I would drive the SL more often into the city. The Scuderia is light, nimble and incredibly well balanced; the SL is a hammer - torque monster with sublime but effective handling - it ain't no Italian tho.....

Take the Black. Why? can beat the **** out of it without it eating my pockets. I don't believe cars are great investments plus the warrenty helps too

P.S. Limited Edition

Good points but I think that MBUSA will whack any 65 BS owner during visits to the shop, even for routine service.

The Scud is also limited, which is why I think this is such a great match up!

What's crazy is that the BS beat the Scud around the 'ring:

SL65 BS = 7:36
F Scuderia = 7:39

Where are you getting the n-ring for the BS? Sport Auto just came out for the Black Series and its 7:51

Murtaza · 05-07-2009, 05:45 PM

Scud by far. NA High revving motor, much more nimble, awesome exhaust note, ceramic brakes.

The 65BS doesn't have ceramics for it's 300k price tag, just dumb. If it had ceramics and an NA V12 @ 670hp it would be a much harder decision.

Cylinder Head · 05-07-2009, 05:56 PM

Scud because IT'S A FERRARI

Also it wins in the looks and resale and pure jizzed in my pants category.

AMG1 · 05-07-2009, 06:02 PM

The 430, only way to go, can't beat the pure passion of the Ferrari.

MercedesFTW · 05-07-2009, 06:12 PM

How about a used F430 AND a SL65

Can't believe that.

I'd take the Scuderia every day of the week and twice n Sundays...much better sound, way less weight, better handling...a true exotic not a hopped up SL which has nothing exotic except the pricetag...

Being a confirmed AMG addict, it pains me to say this, but I had just finished an AMG Diving event at Nuerburgring, and then went to the Frankfurt Auto Show where I first saw the Scuderia 430.

That car wiped out all of the AMG right out of me. I was totally smitten with the Scuderia and wanted to find out everything I could about the car to see if there would be any way that I could 1. afford one, 2. secure one.

As things turned out, the stock market decided that I really didn't want one after all . . . let me clarify that . . . I still want a Scuderia 430, but there's no way, no how, due to the drop in the Market.

Now that's a GREAT idea...but, I am a little biased in that I own both! To answer the original question, I would take the Scud, hands down.

take a look at ALL of SportAUTO's times... their driver must suck

L.A.448 · 06-18-2009, 03:57 PM

How about a used SLR?? Its faster than sl65 and scuderia, looks very hot, interieur is way better than in the ferrari. Otherwise i would chose the scuderia, because i dont like the new sl look like.

MikeRPA · 06-20-2009, 02:24 AM

scuderia , but not over slr

Akademiks · 07-10-2009, 02:06 AM

SL65 Black, SLR, Scud in that order.

motorkas · 07-15-2009, 09:38 AM

Have to go with the Scud

speed doc · 07-15-2009, 10:32 AM

Scud. No question!
