F430 Scud Vs. M6: vid

WTF? Is it me or does the F430 sound like it's not being pushed all the way? There's no way a M6 can take on a Scuderia...

That is a Kelleners M6 with a laundry list of mods. I would like to see a rematch with a passenger added to the M6. I think a Dinan M6 Stroker would have a very hard time with Scuderia....so I am not exactly buying the results.

I realize it's a Gustav vid... but damn, if that M6 does beat the Scuderia then... damn... doesn't that mean it could run with an Enzo/LP640/Carrera GT

they guys in it are from an arab nation
also to be honest am impressed with the F car pulling so well and holding on till the magic speeds of the M show
if i am not mistaken a normal f430 can be beaten by a stage 2 55k so
lets not forget this is a striped out CAR, with a monster gear box that shift fast...maybe faster then the M's?!
respect to the M either way

Their bias only really comes into play when there is a BMW involved...that's when you'll see the really ridiculous results come out. In a race with a Benz v. Porsche, then I do tend to believe them, because I haven't seen them ever try to slant anything that didn't involve a BMW. I don't think they'd spin a the 65 v. 997 race, because they don't have a horse in that race.
This vid is another story, because it involves a bimmer...so naturally, you can bet they picked the run out of probably 5-10 that made the bimmer look best. It could have lost 9 times and won 1, and we'd only ever see the 1...

Well, see, Gustav and the M5Board crew aren't total fabricators...they're just 'selective' about it...

You do know that the Scuderia is not that much slower than the Enzo! The Enzo will win up top but in a 1/4 its close and not only til the one mile range does the gap start to widen. That M6 in that video has some power! My guess is that it has over 600hp!
#10
That's why this video is so shocking. Because the Scuderia is on par with the Enzo. And here's a rather unassuming M6 servin' it heat.
#12
I agree. M6 > F430. Whether or not it's faster, it is nice to know I wont have to fork out a fortune every time it needs a tune or a belt replaced.

Economical? From a Ferrari point-of-view, maybe. BMW replaces your brake pads/rotors for free under warranty; BMW in general has the most comprehensive warranty program out there, so I've heard. The brake job on a F430 with the Carbon Ceramic Rotors???? Well, it's not free... let's leave it at that.

I had an E39 M5 and an Audi RS6 which both had free maintenance at the time (those were the days). The RS6 belt change would have been $4K if it wasn't covered under the maintenance program.

Who said anything about carbon ceramic rotors??? Not if you are on a budget!!!

It just looks to me like the Ferrari let off at the end the way the M6 pulls away. No way an M6 pulls that hard past a Scuderia, even at speed.
#19
And here's another one for the fearless M5 racing a 997 GT2:

Notice the M5 starts to pull the GT2 in towards the end.

I don't think this video seems unbelievable (apart from the first clip). The M6 is tuned, has a bigger engine and a power-train setup that'll let it hit 205mph stock. Also, the Scuderia is a track-biased car so is not optimized for straight-line runs, it may also create more drag at high speeds but not sure of the specs on this.
That being said, the way the M6 pulls in the first video clip does seem way too easy so it'd be good to have someone who was there confirm whether the Scud let up or not.
Now, bring up the infamous twisties and even the most ardent M-fanboys would have to hold up the white flag to one of those things. The Scud's no 599 in the straights but apparently they can lap faster than the Enzo on certain tracks.

The only track I've seen mention that the Scuderia is equal to an Enzo is at Ferrari's test track, a quicker point and shoot track. Open the track up a little, and the Enzo reigns supreme.

And as someone else said there are no more belts in F cars.

Which limb are you giving up for your first service?

The 348, 355 and 360 all required the engine to come out for a belt service....that was the main reason a simple service was so costly.
