jack, did you remove the ground effects and wheels? or did you get another CS? The CS looks great stock. What happen to Amir? Hope he's OK. Must not be injured too bad, atleast he can drive.

Mr. Oak -- How are you? We miss you buddy.

Wattster was just pulling everyone's chain -- never modified the CS. The photos he posted are of a regular Modena that Meridian modified per a customer's request. Watt is so enamored with its looks, he keeps floating trial balloons to get public feedback, so he can decide whether to do it to his car. That is...if he can keep it long enough to get the work done.

Amir banged up the ankle playing B-ball -- he's doing better, but hates that big boot he has to wear.

Are you kidding? To quote that great English group of philosophers -- the Kinks -- Watt is a "follower of fashion".

He hated F-cars 4 months ago...but as the wind blows, so goes the Wattster.

Come on Watt, you know you want to, don't keep us all in suspense. I'm sure Meridian would cut you a deal too if you promise to post loads of pix of it!

I see a good number of say 300-1800 mile Stradales for sale at Ferrari dealers, most advertised at $220-$225k, what is a realistic purchase price? What are cars moving at?

I like the stradale, but there is not much left for mods though.. that's where Porsche kicks in, resulting in better performance. It's just a choice what you like better, to mod or not to mod!

Personally there are certain cars that dont need to be modded and the Stradale is one of them.

porsches are great cars for tracking and modifying. ferraris are great cars for pure driver enjoyment and appreciation of art in design, regardless of overall track lap time (it doesn't matter as much when you are having such a great time enjoying the sound/experience!).
at the end of the day, the similarly priced porsche will be quicker on the clock, but the ferrari will be a more enjoyable experience while driving it. both are to be respected in their own right.

That all changed after I traded in the Modena for a CS. Now my answer is a two second response. Speed, power, torque, potential lap times all included, the CS is the most amount of fun you can have on four wheels! Just my .02.
I eat my words. Meet the new King of the stable. IT's absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!
