Of course, that's my unbiased opinion based upon owning and driving both of them.

True, it would be hard not to jerk @#? looking at the beautifully welded tub seams while driving...

Jack, no doubt the Ferrari is more thrilling to drive.
However, I don't think any of us here in California have driven the RS variant... not saying that GT3-RS is as exciting as the Stradale, but maybe it closes the gap?
Personally, I would take a Ruf RGT-RS over Stradale any day and with its Ohlins shocks and composite body, it will blow away a CS indeed. Even if the CS is more "exciting" to some the RGT-RS is more exciting to me. That is definitely a car I could thrash around the canyons or track.

Jack's really into validating his comments with pictures of cars, presumably his... as tho' we wouldnt believe him other wise...
no worrylito jackitito, we know you have real actual ownership type input to give us... not the usual i read it in a magasine we suffer from here!!!
we luv you jackie!!!!
ps of course you're right; as a MULTIPLE [beat the chest] GT2 and GT3 owner i swear upon a stack of Bibles that a CS is IT. 2's and 3's just pale by comparison.
why i'm even warming up to buy my second CS

Watt,
I'm very jealous you're now thinking about a second CS. I'm hoping when I get to be your age I get to have one too.
Please don't let on you're just a young pup. That would really put me over the edge.

"why i'm even warming up to buy my second CS" - uh, at the same time? if not, what does this mean?

The only way to settle this thread is for Wotaguy Watt and Hamman7 to line up their cars for us to test drive 10 laps each.
The panel of volunteer judges will score them at the end.
Sharky can bring his GEO too.
How bout next weekend?

Former Vendor
TOP CAR and Jeremy Clarkson (sic) made a VIDEO of the GT3RS and the Ferrari 360 CS. Its a very entertaining video and great humor and powerslides and we need these types of programs on SPEEDVISION & MTV inlieu of Tuner Transformation, NASCAR hourly updates, and PIMP your Ride with stupid ignorant IzXhbit or whatever.
check it out and enjoy
