For the Scuderia version, worth every penny. One of the most durable Ferraris ever built. A former member of our local Porsche club has one and he's beaten the snot out the car at every track day and autocross he could get to and it's a tank. According to him the clutch has lasted longer than on any previous Porsche he's ever owned. Plus you get a much more exciting (and rare) single clutch sequential shifter and not the dual clutch stuff like on so many paddle/automatics. It's a standout transmission without the weight of DCT.
This may sound crazy, but given what new Porsches sell for now, I think a low-mileage second-hand Scud is a hell of a lot of bang for the buck.
Here's a nice one.
 Scuderia

the2013 results of the 24 hours of Daytona speak for themselves; more Ferraris (and higher rankings) that porsches in the top slots. endurance racing is the true test.

I had a client that had a few Ferrari's. He was always quizing me about my Box, usually talked about how balanced they are. He also said Ferrari's are for collecters, Porsche's are for drivers.

Did he let you get within 6 feet of it, maybe even touch it?
Who parked next to the other first? Did he leave a door ding on yours as a parting gift?

I left the Banking Center before he did but I mentioned to him that I was going to take some pics of our cars together and he didn't have an issue with it.
I parked first, he parked next to me to show me up lol, no door dings lol

You think this is why JD was shopping at Ferrari not long ago? Johnny is a collector right?

I have another client that always has a couple Ferrari's never keeping them more than 2 years & then trading for the latest model. He currently has a FF which he calls "the Gremlin" He usually has a MBZ & recently traded his Maybach. I brought up how ridiculously outrageous the MBZ SL Black Series looks with the huge rear wheel well flares. He waited for me to finish & informed me the SL BS was his daily driver.

Rearend finally came all the way around & he spun into the infield right at the corner workers platform. Finally stopped 20 ft from the platform.
