Those brakes look huge, but not a big fan of golden colored wheels. | | | | | Global Moderator

As for the scuderia, I love it, except for the ugly stripes. Can't wait for the GT2 vs Scuderia vs Superleggara comparison - would be literally sex on wheels. | There's no irony in that. I don't care whether the body parts are functional or not, in fact, that's of little concern to me. I'm talking about the styling of additional body parts, not their purpose or function. Furthermore, I like additional body parts (functional or not) which I feel improve the look of the car, rather than lessen it's appeal (which is what I feel they've done).
Of course, that's just my opinion and you're going to have to get used to it.
Can't deny it'll be a great performance car though... | | | | | Enthusiast

Oh my.......I think that car looks absolutely AMAZING......I've always liked the F430 over the Gallardo or 911 in terms of looks, and this F430 Scuderia is just mean looking, which is what I would get if I had the money to buy a Ferrari. Of course, the technology in this car is nuts......60 ms shifts!!!
LOVE IT!!!! | | | | | Fanatic

This is an very aggressive looking car, the new front end styling looks even more similar to the Enzo than before. I can see Ferrari has done some detail aero development on the F430 Scuderia to further reduce drag and increase the downforce of the car without using some ugly rear wing, such as the optional item on the Lamborghini Gallardo SL.
The rear diffuser design looks interesting, there is a vent on each side of the diffuser, just above the vertical fins. I haven't seen this design in other supercars before.
The stripes and the colour of the rim doesn't suit the car. White stripes will be much better and it will remind people of the F1 car (even though the F2007 is largely red). The gold wheels reminds me of the WRX, which is bad, but it also reminds me of the Lancia Stratos, which is good. Quote:

I'm not really a fan of the F430 however, I would so much like to see a comparison test between the 911 GT2, F430 Scuderia and Galardo Superleggera! THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!!!  | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | |
