Oh what are these "facts"? There is nothing in that post that I didnt know already. Your argument is good for nothing. "extensive R&D" my ass. Throwing out body panels doesnt require four years of extensive R&D. ANyway who gives a shit? Even though you are wrong who cares if they are very special purpose built cars? Oh yeah, if Chevy did that then they would make a car so fucking good it would blow the Enzo away....yeah tell GM to do that. You claimed the 360 Challenge is a "stripped street car" Not what the book says For the 2000 Challenge Trophy series, Ferrari turned their stock 360 Modena F1 into a stripped-out racer. Scratch built and specially prepared by the factory, previous Challenge variants had often left Maranello as road cars and subsequently been enhanced with Ferrari's official retro-fit packs. However, Ferrari wanted to produce a substantially quicker machine than the outgoing 355 and decided the 360 Challenge should be built from the ground up as a track car. In the quest for lightness, they removed all the upholstery, the air-conditioning system, all glass bar the windscreen (replaced with Lexan), the sound insulation, airbags and passenger seat. You claim the 360CS is no more special than a carbon door panel and some other parts removed.. Not what the book says.. With the 360 Modena nearly four years old and Ferrari wanting to homologate some improvements for their GTC racer, this car was introduced, the Challenge Stradale. Weighing in at just 20kg more than the Challenge, it features a host of aero and mechanical refinements that combine to make it 3.5 seconds faster around Fiorano than a stock Modena. New titanium wheel bolts and damper springs increase resistance to roll and dip and have made directional changes more rapid. The damper settings themselves have been re-rated to provide a 15mm lower centre of gravity while a particularly advanced multi-axial carbon floorpan is 50% lighter than before and also increases rigidity. Perhaps the most significant arrival though are carbon brakes as standard.

lol

You cant read at all can you? Tell me how they are not saying its not stripped out street car? :roll:

Only point you have is about the 360CS which I agree is a re worked car. The 360MC isnt.
