F430 Scuderia v. SL65 AMG Black Series
Same price, which would you choose and why?
I'd take the Scud for one reason: RESALE! SL65 Black is bada$$ though![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

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.

C63, Scuderia, 599, 16M, AEV Hemi Jeep, '57 Porsche Speedster, '55 300SL, SLS on order
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

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

C63S coupe, X5M
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.

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...

CLK63 Black Series
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.![devil](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/devil.gif)

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.
