Don't manual swap a Scud, the transmission is what makes the Scud stand out and it's still one of the fastest (non racing) single clutch gearboxes out there. btw. I never get why people put aftermarket exhausts/mufflers on the F430, with the valves open it's basically a straight pipe completely by-passing the muffler. Enjoy the car, still own my F430 and the looks + sound never fail to impress!
I so hope you found a spec like your old TT to put on the wall. The amount of progression and growth is bar to none. You are truly an inspiration, James.
As much of a manual transmission lover as I am, this is going to be one of the few times in my life I will say keep the automatic. I’m not sure what it is exactly about this car, but I feel like the transmission that’s currently in it is the perfect transmission for the car. Yeah the manual would be very fun, but that auto is just perfect
Also you can’t vlog while driving a manual and getting cool sounding downshifts requires an amount of practice James just hasn’t gotten yet. (I’m not there myself, but I know you have to drive a lot of manual cars to get good at it)
This is probably the best decision you've made on the challenge, it's definitely a great car but a scud in return is definitely a great choice, and it gives the challenge the chance to live to its potential again on the track so definitely a great decision. Seeing the challenge stradale and the scud side by side would be so cool as well
Been here since the purple camo gallardo days and gotta say its been crazy seeing your dreams of the house and full supercar garage come alive as it unfolds.
I'd much rather have a Scud than a Challenge. Though, as good as it looks, I can't imagine a better looking Scud-spec than what Ed Bolian used to have - the dark grey with red interior and tricolore centre stripe
I think thats the perfect idea, due to the significance of the car to him and the channel but also its probably a car he wouldnt feel guilty not driving at all. However having an actual full on racecar that isnt really street legal on the wall would be really cool too
If anyone is wondering the falls at the end are called bridal veil falls. They had a restaurant at the top and a lift to up to it. They tore it down years ago. But cool place to stop at in utah and see the water fall and stuff
Congrats on the Scud! They're such an incredible car, and I was planning on my first Ferrari to be one, but with the recent price jump I couldn't justify it. So I got a gorgeous 458 instead and absolutely love it. Good luck on your hunt for a Challenge Stradale!
I'm glad you're exploring more of other brands other than lamborghini and I really think you should get yourself in a mclaren, a porsche, or anything your heart desires to bring something fresh for the channel
TheStradman Awesome Video I think it's awesome that you sold your Old F430 Challenge for your F430 Scuderia and I think it sounds absolutely incredible and I can't wait to see the Build
I seriously look through your garage knowing I'll never own one of these beautiful cars it sure is nice to watch you enjoying what you've earned peace my little brother
Since you started your channel with an Audi tt mk1 i think to honour that you should buy a Tt to have it in your garage specially now that its becoming a future classic! Maybe a 3.2 V6 roadster?
I think that in the near future the single clutch will be sought after. It is a lot of fun at half the price and those that will get priced out of the manual market will get the next best thing.
Hard to see a milestone car of this channel going away. The scud is amazing but we need to move on somehow, and considering is the nearest thing to the challenge, is a good choice. Congrats James, always on your side. ❤
Keep the factory transmission! As you said it’s one of the best ever! I owned 2 SCUD’s and I agree 100%. I want another one and I love that factory single clutch Scud F1. Congrats!!!!
@@SJW906ofc I did 😑 ohh, ur one of those typical guys who have nothing better to do than just try their upmost best to ruin other people’s day 😂 don’t waste ur time, ur certainly wasting mine lol
1:36 realized we have the same chubbies swim trunks! They are so nice. Keep being you bro love the content have been watching you since you were living out of your Audi. So proud of you and your accomplishments. Hope to meet you one day🤍
I love the car. I love the idea of it being a blank canvas to do as you want. I think in the long run the gated manual is the way to go. The only thing about the salvage titled Ferrari was s the parts and maintenance costs are still going to be expensive.
Huh, I’ve never heard of a salgave car. Edit: Clearly most of you guys don’t get the joke. He had the title of the video misspelt originally but fixed it soon after.
For a mower, I’d recommend getting a robot mower… they can mow when you normally can’t… wanna go to a car meet? Well, just let the robot mower do the mowing for you… it’s like having a butler…
Not even mad about that transaction! The 430 Challenge was too much car to remove the engine and mount on a wall forever. At least now it can be enjoyed and driven where and how it was made to drive! Love the Scud though 😍
Don’t manual swap it. I love manual transmissions but this is one of the very few times I’ll say keep the automatic. It’s just such and nice car and I feel like that is what makes the car. The quick changing of the gears just really is a chefs kiss.
I would personally reccomend getting a Huracan Perf Spyder, watching them drive around they look like such a great car to drive and I have heard lost of positive things about them, keep up the good work!
Thank god you didnt tear apart that 430 challenge, Its a beautiful piece of machinery and doesnt deserved to be gutted just for you to look at once in a while.
please don’t sell the car. Please don’t sell the car please don’t sell the car please don’t sell the car please don’t sell the car I love your videos so much I want to meet you one day and come to your house. Love you.❤
If you're buying a mower, get yourself a nice zero turn. Knock out the cut yourself. Also get a trimmer. Save yourself some money, and get some one on one time cutting and trimming your lawn yourself. Good for your mental. Always felt good after doing my own lawn. Plus it's good cardio.
I don’t comment on many videos but if ima be honest you doing the pov is honestly my favorite part of the video other then how excited you get for new car
Too bad I live in Texas I have my own lawn care business I would defintley give you a good deal on mowing your yard also I'm defintley going to miss the challenger but the new ferrarri looks nice can't wait to see what you are going to do with it
hey james great vid congrats on the car just wana say i went to rewatch your house udate series you should totally make a playlist for the house series im sure a lot of people would enjoy it i sure would
Hi James, I was hoping that you would do a video on how you & Sophie met. We know very little about her. I am also interested in the 12 hour drive to Norway from Sweden?. Sophia is so lovely. I wish you both all the very best. Just a note on the landscaping. I'd do the pool next with a nice tiled area.
Yes, manual swap! Less stress in the future and more fun right now. Twin turbo, 😍 but maybe over the top. However, one of one, with a custom paint, interior, wide body, wheels, manual conversion 👌🏾💯👌🏾💯👌🏾💯
Who has been waiting for James to get a Lamborghini Huracan, and every time he gets a new car all you hope is that its Huracan just to find out that its another dope car lol!

when you straight pipe it, the car sounds more f1 like
so true
And don't paint it man black is gorgeous

I so hope you found a spec like your old TT to put on the wall. The amount of progression and growth is bar to none. You are truly an inspiration, James.
I was thinking the exact thing. I think he found either exact spec or his old TT would be so sick!
that would make so much sense for the hint he gave too. Twin turbo = TT
@@blurryyu That and those were his first two cars that started the channel
Yeah I was thinking TT aswell imagine he found his one 🤯 probably impossible but we can dream
@@danielhaluska1363He also needs to hunt down a similar or the same elise he owned 8 years ago. Not for the wall ofc.

I’m not sure what it is exactly about this car, but I feel like the transmission that’s currently in it is the perfect transmission for the car.

facts the automatic is actually soooo nice on this car
Facts!!
The F1 gearbox had already showing it's age, but that's why i think it's charming and suitable for the Scuderia
Also you can’t vlog while driving a manual and getting cool sounding downshifts requires an amount of practice James just hasn’t gotten yet. (I’m not there myself, but I know you have to drive a lot of manual cars to get good at it)
*Assuming the swap doesn’t include automatic rev matching
driving through the mountains with supercars with friends is the dream and stradman is living it loving the content.
Love the car❤
This is probably the best decision you've made on the challenge, it's definitely a great car but a scud in return is definitely a great choice, and it gives the challenge the chance to live to its potential again on the track so definitely a great decision. Seeing the challenge stradale and the scud side by side would be so cool as well
Especially both of them on the track

I'd much rather have a Scud than a Challenge. Though, as good as it looks, I can't imagine a better looking Scud-spec than what Ed Bolian used to have - the dark grey with red interior and tricolore centre stripe
I personally loved Damon's scud spec but let's be honest they all look sick lol
Damon and Ed had wonderful specs, I feel sorry for this car going pink or purple tho…
Anyone else think that he should track down the tt and put it on his wall, would be so iconic as the start of his YT journey
I think thats the perfect idea, due to the significance of the car to him and the channel but also its probably a car he wouldnt feel guilty not driving at all. However having an actual full on racecar that isnt really street legal on the wall would be really cool too
I'm so in LOVE with that car and i have to say it is a gread purches
The black with the twin gold stripping ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
If anyone is wondering the falls at the end are called bridal veil falls. They had a restaurant at the top and a lift to up to it. They tore it down years ago. But cool place to stop at in utah and see the water fall and stuff
Great to see James so happy in this video. Congrats, Stradman.
Salvage titles only change the value not the fun, can’t wait to see more content on it!
It's a write off for strad...he just writes off the loss when he sells it, if ever
Congrats on the Scud! They're such an incredible car, and I was planning on my first Ferrari to be one, but with the recent price jump I couldn't justify it. So I got a gorgeous 458 instead and absolutely love it. Good luck on your hunt for a Challenge Stradale!

Love the new car, James! I don't think you should do a manual swap; it shifts so cleanly with those paddles.
I seriously look through your garage knowing I'll never own one of these beautiful cars it sure is nice to watch you enjoying what you've earned peace my little brother
Every time this guy uploads my day is made, he's enthusiasm is amazing!
Since you started your channel with an Audi tt mk1 i think to honour that you should buy a Tt to have it in your garage specially now that its becoming a future classic! Maybe a 3.2 V6 roadster?
I Absolutely love the 430 Scuderia!! I think it was a spectacular purchase! please hang on to it!
SALGAVE CAR FOR THE WIN😹
Loool I had to screen shot the tittle 😂
It might be Italian; salgavé
I think that in the near future the single clutch will be sought after. It is a lot of fun at half the price and those that will get priced out of the manual market will get the next best thing.
Dude the Scud is one of my very favorite cars. I’m glad to know the challenge will live on and not end up on a wall to be honest.
Strad's excitement alone for a car can make you fall in love with it too. Can't wait to see the build on this thing!
11:41 James stears with legs like its normal, thats why I love this man!
Congratulations stradman I love when you buy a new car. It always makes my day especially on brand new delivery day.
Hard to see a milestone car of this channel going away. The scud is amazing but we need to move on somehow, and considering is the nearest thing to the challenge, is a good choice. Congrats James, always on your side. ❤
Strad's just casually steering the car with his foot cause both his hands are busy 11:40
You mean his knee?
same thing bro
@@santiwari4551 a foot and knee are completely different
Keep the factory transmission! As you said it’s one of the best ever! I owned 2 SCUD’s and I agree 100%. I want another one and I love that factory single clutch Scud F1. Congrats!!!!
Congrats Strad the Scud suits you buddy no matter if it's a salvage title it's still a piece of gold enjoy all the happy miles in your car
So hyped for this car man. Keep up the good work.
Amazing video as always James! Been a huge fan of yours for 5 years! Keep up the absolutely amazing work!! 😃👍
Did you even watch the entire thing yet?

Keep up the great content man, always brings happiness to my day.

Its's always a good day when Strad uploads.

Huh, I’ve never heard of a salgave car.
Edit: Clearly most of you guys don’t get the joke. He had the title of the video misspelt originally but fixed it soon after.
Really you’ve never heard of a salvaged title car. How old are you 10
here before he fixes the title
Ditto
Yep
Same here. I was gonna type this same exact post lol. You beat me fair.
“SALGAVE TITLE” lmao
That scuderia is nice, and the 430 race car is going to love it’s new home. A aventador or murci spyder on the wall would look amazing
I like the instrument cluster of the new 430 because of it being so analog at night shot it looks nice 12:52
Love Salgave title supers cars 😂
Everyday a good day when the man himself uploads
Love to see papa strad upload we should really appreciate how much he does for us show you appreciation
👇
So pumped you got a 430 Scuderia! It’s always been one of my favorite cars and I got to drive one in Modena Italy when I was 19, hell of a car!
Strad you need to get a Diablo GTR. It would look so clean in you garage.
For a mower, I’d recommend getting a robot mower… they can mow when you normally can’t… wanna go to a car meet? Well, just let the robot mower do the mowing for you… it’s like having a butler…
Not even mad about that transaction! The 430 Challenge was too much car to remove the engine and mount on a wall forever. At least now it can be enjoyed and driven where and how it was made to drive! Love the Scud though 😍

You did good James, that is a nice ride! You can actually drive it and have fun!!
i started watching DDE when damon had the scud and its still one of my all time fav super cars, this was a great pickup james
Thank god you didnt tear apart that 430 challenge, Its a beautiful piece of machinery and doesnt deserved to be gutted just for you to look at once in a while.
The 430 Scud is one of the best Ferraris ever made and stock exhaust is in the top 5 best sounding cars ever. Great purchase
Love the scud and the lighting on the house is perfect!!
Love this! I like the driving videos. We get a lot of good garage content but man I love seeing ya out driving these things.
Ain’t no way I’ve been subed to this dude for 3 years when he had only 600k and broskie is already at 4.2m what a long way you have come strad!
please don’t sell the car. Please don’t sell the car please don’t sell the car please don’t sell the car please don’t sell the car I love your videos so much I want to meet you one day and come to your house. Love you.❤
Yo I just re discovered your channel! I haven't watched it in about 3 or 4 years! Soo good to see you still going!
You know he love the car when he go morning road trip and goback at home in night 😂😂
YESSSSSSSS!!! I'm so glad you got this Ferrari! One of the all-time classics of my childhood. Get the manny swap!
man that black is looking so damn good, you cannot repaint that! it's savage!
I heard you Guy’s in the canyon yesterday, those cars are so so loud
Beautiful views on views man those mountains wow 🙌🏾
heck yeah..now that's what I am talking about...absolutely freaking love this choice. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. 😮💨🤩
If you're buying a mower, get yourself a nice zero turn. Knock out the cut yourself. Also get a trimmer. Save yourself some money, and get some one on one time cutting and trimming your lawn yourself. Good for your mental. Always felt good after doing my own lawn. Plus it's good cardio.
Been wanting someone to revive the scud. Absolute favorite car, can't wait to see the plans for it
I don’t comment on many videos but if ima be honest you doing the pov is honestly my favorite part of the video other then how excited you get for new car
love when the greatest youtuber ever posts keep it up stradman
That pov drive back into the garage at the end has to be a pinch me moment for James, it looked so good.
Always gotta love driving through the mountains.
10:08 James must have British heritage, he knows it’s trousers 😂
Too bad I live in Texas I have my own lawn care business I would defintley give you a good deal on mowing your yard also I'm defintley going to miss the challenger but the new ferrarri looks nice can't wait to see what you are going to do with it
Can we appreciate the neighbors landscaping, that's mint
The fact I’ve been subscribed since you had like 100k or so subscribers to see you’ve made it this far that’s success man keep doing you
I strive to be him one day! James passion for cars always inspires me. I'm so thankful for u james.
Such a great purchase !!!
That's an amazing car, looking foward to see more content of it
I love it. And since you never hit the race track this is perfect.
hey james great vid congrats on the car just wana say i went to rewatch your house udate series you should totally make a playlist for the house series im sure a lot of people would enjoy it i sure would
Great choice
Get a truck and enclosed trailer and hire me to be your full time driver to move everything and anything you need man.

@TheStradman Both headlights are different one seems to be more wider than the other. The time I noticed it was at 8:42
the scud looks amazing
Congratulations to ya stradman here love this vlog bro . Nice ride
Strad used the Ed Bolian technique. Nice one mate!
Happy that it didn't go to waste and get put on the wall. Hopefully it gets driven like it was built to be

You shold totally dream on a scuderia 16M, it is a truly unicorn on this beautiful platform!
Thats a beatiful Ferrari! Congrats on the newest addition!
The 430 scud was a great trade. Also can’t wait for the challenge stradale. That was my childhood dream car
You know your going to love the vid when you see Stradman smiling.
Great choice. THE 430 Challenge was great fun but unlike Scudria Its built entirely for the track. I would have kept It black though.
Who has been waiting for James to get a Lamborghini Huracan, and every time he gets a new car all you hope is that its Huracan just to find out that its another dope car lol!
