It’s happening up here in northeast Ohio, in Fairview Park on Sunday, July 27th. We have some of the coolest prizes and awards around winners can receive.

We also have over $2,000 in tools, equipment donated by ECS tuning that we are raffling off and we are adding items on a regular basis.

Check it out, rock and res.com. So [00:02:00] anyways, onward we’re gonna talk about special variance. And the reason I wanted to touch on this is Ferrari just dropped the 2 9 6 Speciale, obviously how Ferrari works in their model line up the 2, 9 6 was supposed to be like a Dino type deal at entry level, at half a million dollars entry level, and you had your SF 90, then you got obviously into your other, you know, your V twelves and stuff like that.

They didn’t come out with a variant in the. Middle model, I guess you could say, as they’ve done in the past, you know? So we’re gonna go through that and work our way up to the 2 9 6. ’cause I will say it’s, they did a fantastic job and I wanna say I think the 2 9 6 is kind of flying under the radar regards to value and excitement and enjoyment.

It’s a great car. It is wickedly fast. I mean it is. Awesome. I got a ride in one a little while back and uh, wanted to drive it, but I wasn’t gonna push it. But hey, I got a quick ride in it. It wasn’t anything crazy, but unbelievable car. It’s great. It kind of got me on the [00:03:00] bandwagon in those cars, but it wasn’t as aligned as the SF 90 is on electric and stuff like that.

But anyways, we’ll get to that. So we are going to start. Out in the beginning, Ferrari making these race car road variant models that a person could, can get, still buy used, what have you. First one, it was a conversion kit. This was for the 3 48 challenge. Ferrari to kind of boost its image and kind of, you know, draw up more interest.

You know, they came up with the idea, let’s have a one make race series for our owners and what have you, and it’s been very successful. I will give you that. And it’s great racing too. You got some guys that are pros in there, but majority, almost 90, 95% of the guys running that are just amateurs that got a lot of money.

So the first variant they came out with was a 3 48 challenge. It was a kit that the dealer installed for someone that wanted to. Put it on and go racing. Prior, the factory did some themselves as well, but there was just a kit that they could buy and basically they didn’t really [00:04:00] do any motor upgrades or anything like that.

It was more along the lines of safety equipment, reducing weight, stripping stuff out, giving some race seats, everything like that, fire extinguishers, that kinda stuff. Front toe hook, anything like that. So they really did not. Do anything crazy with it. It was more just to kind of lighten it up and tighten it up, go racing and like you said, to could get it installed at their local dealership and get it there and go racing.

So, but that was basically the first one. Now you do see people taking notes. ’cause that was the one thing about it is you could revert the car back. To basically road legal version, but you’re not really doing all that much to it, to really all also make this thing, hey, it’s not street legal anymore.

’cause you weren’t like taking the, you know, headers off or doing anything crazy on this car. You got people running challenge cars, driving ’em on the street. You just slap the license plate on it. So, I mean, there really wasn’t much to that, you know, and 3, 4, 8 gets a lot of hate. Kind of one of those odd models.

They took the uh, side strikes, you know, kind of copying off the test. Then Luca Dilo, however you pronounce his last name, came on [00:05:00] board during that. And um, he didn’t have much involvement in the 3, 4, 8, but the next one where he did have the 3 5 5, which is one of my favorite Ferraris, it’s a great car.

It’s just, it’s small. It’s got that V eight. You put the right headers and pipe on it. Oh my God, this, that thing sounds fantastic. Kind of almost along the same lines as a 3, 4, 8. There’s a 3 5, 5. Challenge that was built. Now this was built directly from the factory because they changed a lot of stuff in regards to roll cage, bucket seats, the safety harness, fire extinguisher, engine cutoff, radio controls, a different steering wheel, lightweight exhaust, rear wing competition, clutch.

They pulled the brakes from the F 40. Put those brembos on there as well. 18 inch wheels and slick, solid suspension bushings, all that kind of stuff. Change some aesthetics. Perfect. You know, black grill, that kind of stuff, and just lighten it up and everything like that. They only built about 108 of those.

Here’s the thing, depends when you ask, there’s probably over 300 cards that were [00:06:00] converted. People could buy the stuff and get it done themselves, but there were 108 that were built by the factory. But like I said, there’s probably over 300 of ’em out there roaming the world that were just done with the conversion kit.

I have no idea. But again, once you went that thing, that car obviously racetrack only, not road legal. I’m sure there are people out there that did what they had to do and modified it to make it road legal. You know, the things that are on there though in regards to the clutch and all that kind of stuff, but make it pretty sketchy to try and drive on the street.

’cause probably fry the clutch in a minute. Obviously you’re not gonna run slicks on the street, stuff like that. So. It just makes for a very, very, very harsh ride if you didn’t change a few things. But you know, it’s that cool. Look, people all say, oh, it’s a race car for the street. You know, everyone’s always going for, so there’s a lot of guys out there that, you know, run all those items on there.

They change up the grill, that kind of stuff to give it that look. Now, here’s the one thing though, in Europe over here as well, I’m sorry, you could get the ano handling package, which gave you a little bit wider. Front [00:07:00] track, stiffer springs, thicker anti-roll bar drilled and ventilated. Brakes, competition, challenge, whatever source, steering, rack, challenge grills and stuff like that.

The Ferrari shields, you know, you got your carbon fiber insert, stuff like that. So you cover seats and that’s when that F1 transmission started coming in. Everyone was, oh, ’cause it’s the cool new thing. So people are like, well I wanna get that F1 flappy paddle transmission. So sadly, out of the a hundred cars that were delivered to the US market, 74 had that F1 paddle shift transmission with only 26 having a six speed manual.

Obviously the six speed manual cars are probably about $300,000. Now, if it’s gonna have the fear auto handle, it’s a rare car, rare package on it. I mean, it could be more, I mean, especially if you got low miles, everything like that, and colored combo, the whole nine yards. Not to say you couldn’t do a, a swap on the F1 tra ones that were done, but I mean, then you’re kind of defeating the purpose because you have a limited edition model.

Like I said, that was a fiorano. But now in Europe, you could get in the last year, three, five. Five was a fiorano handling [00:08:00] pack that says Europe only. So, I mean, you could import these things. Now, obviously it didn’t affect all that many cars that were done ’cause of last year, everything like that. But, uh, Fiorano is the one you want to get, but obviously, again, you go talk about the challenge.

You know, that was the race car. So again, building these first two was along the lines. Okay, it’s basically making a really cool car. But then they realized, hey, there’s a market for a road going race version of these cars. People really want it. ’cause again, you know, majority people get these cars, they drive ’em on the weekends.

They’re not like doing cross country jaunts or anything like that, but they want to have that feeling. So they go out on a Sunday drive. And everything like that. So they saw the market and they kind of started tapping into it a bit and went from there with it on the 3 55. Got a little more serious spot.

Now the 360, the next model was a huge jump in regards to performance, everything like that from the 3 55 to the 360 aesthetic wise, you know, aluminum, everything like that. It was a big, big jump. Flappy paddle gearbox started becoming a little more prevalent in [00:09:00] regards to production numbers. You wanted to get the challenge stradale built by the factory going out, but that was a road going car.

’cause this is when Ferrari started doing the race series and these things were race car specific. They made them serious race cars. It wasn’t just making a couple changes to a road going version. And there you go. They were making hardcore race cars that by now for the Ferrari race series. But what they did with the challenge to Dolly.

Is they tweaked, obviously, aesthetic wise, better breathing. They increased the horsepower up to 425 horsepower, dropped a weight by a decent amount, flappy paddle gear basket. You couldn’t get a manual even though you could order a 360 with the factory manual. You couldn’t get the challenge through all in a manual.

Now you could do a swap on these as well, but the gearbox, they tweaked it so it’s faster gear changes. That was kind of the one thing about the first generations of the F1, ’cause all it was, is basically hydraulic system attached to a standard manual training. It, it wasn’t [00:10:00] like a dual clutch. So everything like that, it wasn’t really designed to do it that way.

They just modified the existing transmission to be able to do it where you had the flappy pallets. But you know the system they using, they improved it that way And, and what’s interesting, I haven’t heard or seen many people that have taken a challenge and done a manual conversion. I know they’re out there.

I know people have done it. That would be my route. That’s what I would do. I’d get the challenge, swap it, put in a manual transmission in it and have at it. You know, why not? I mean, you could even do is just buy a whole transmission, pull out that one one and just swap that one in. That would be cool. But.

There’s only about a little over a 1200 challenge modalities produced. Rare, yes. Rare. No, I mean, it is, you know, that’s quite a few cars, but you know, it’s gaining popularity in regards to getting, I mean, obviously the 360 is a popular car. It’s a great, I wanna say entry level. ’cause now you got the 3, 5, 5 with the manual gearbox going through the roof, so to speak.

They’re more expensive than a. 360 manual is now, which is kinda odd. You think it’d be the other way around. But [00:11:00] right now in the market, that’s the where things are going. But in the next couple months, things could completely change ’cause of the what’s going on in the world. And here in America, you will just leave it as that.

I’m not gonna get political, you know? So the 360, obviously it’s a great car to get into. You can still work on that car yourself. Majority of it, really not much. You can’t do yourself if you know how to turn a wrench and if you can’t figure somebody, look on YouTube, someone’s probably done it. You can get it figured out.

So that’s what’s great about those cars that they’re very, I don’t wanna say simplistic, but you don’t have computers running everything. You don’t have like massive amount of electronics in the car. So you can still do these things yourself. I mean, you can technically almost do swap yourself if you want to go into a manual.

I wouldn’t recommend it. I would spend the money, send it to a shop because you gotta get the, uh, computer flashed, all that kinda stuff to understand that hey, now you, it’s a manual gearbox, everything like that. But the challenge should all, is really kind of gaining momentum out there in the marketplace.

People, I don’t wanna say all of a sudden realizing or coming that fact, but it’s a great car. I mean, it’s a really great card. I mean they sound beautiful. You put, you [00:12:00] know, pipes on that, some headers, they just scream. It’s an awesome, awesome card. I don’t wanna say inexpensive to run, but you know, you still have the scenario where you got the belts.

You gotta pull the motor. Now if you know what you’re doing, you really don’t have to pull the whole motor out to do your belts. But you know, it makes it easier ’cause. Normally when you do the belts, you’re gonna be a lot of other things that you’re gonna wanna change anyways ’cause just ’cause of wear and tear on the car.

So it’s kind of just, you know, preventative maintenance type situation. So that’s what I recommend. Next step up, we’re gonna go into probably one of my, again, more favorite models is a four 30 scud. We’re taking, you know, the race car variance. Out of this equation. ’cause we’re talking about the road going cars, but you know, obviously they had the four 30 race cars challenged GT three, GT, you know C, all that kind of stuff.

Those were built specific race cars only. You were not gonna change those into street cars. I mean, push comes to shove. I’m sure you could, but it just, it would be not fun to drive it on the street. So we are talking about the road going special versions. The ones that you run to kinda hunt down four 30 F1 tranny cars were more prevalent in [00:13:00] production than the six speed manuals.

You know, out in the marketplace, a four 30 factory manual car. You know, it’s kinda hard to save value wise ’cause people are asking stupid numbers but they’re not getting ’em. I’ve seen several cars that have been sitting for months, months at a dealership ’cause they’re just asking stupid money. And they’re slowly coming down.

There’s one sitting out there that’s yellow block. It’s got high, higher miles. It’s almost 50,000 miles on the car, and I think they’ve had this car for over a year. Now they’re down at like two 30, I think now 230,000, something like that, which isn’t too bad, but I mean, I think that’s maybe 175,000 car with that mileage, everything like that.

It is a factor, male. It is a. Factory, yellow car. Some of these dealers, there’s another one up there in Northeast that, you know, he gets his hands on quite a few, but he was asking half a mill for some of these and he’s had ’em forever. So, factory manual cars are stupidly expensive, or I should say stupidly priced out in the market.

Now, not to say that’s what they’re going for. Again, market adjustments. But the problem is you got a dealer, he’s got X dollars into it. He’s not gonna take a loss, [00:14:00] so he’ll just sit on the car. ’cause at some point in time it’ll come back to them. Dollar wise, in regards to value, you know what you can sell it for, but you never know.

So, but anyways, we are talking about a four 30 scud. This car is probably. Next to the one we’re gonna talk about next in the 4, 5, 8 speciality. The four 30 scud is a fabulous, fabulous car. Again, it is. Got the flat paddle transmission on it, but they’ve got this thing dialed in. It’s kind of that point.

It’s like, yeah, I know people have swapped in a six speed manual into a scud, and it’s been awesome. It’s probably what I would do be I’d buy a higher mileage, one swap in the manual. Have some fun. Everything about the car’s tightened up. They’ve done some fantastic things with just everything. Increase the horsepower or do some weight.

It’s just a fabulous, fabulous car if you ever get the opportunity to drive on, I highly recommended it. It’s fantastic. Can’t talk much about it now, and here’s what we get into now. All of a sudden, they also do you have the the 16 m. [00:15:00] That the four 30 could get in. And that was basically just the convertible version of the scud.

So that was kind of a new variant in regards to coming out with these road going race car variants of the car. So now all of a sudden you could get a convertible because there’s demand. There was the demand for it. So they got ’em out there and they built a few of ’em. Those things are crazy money out in the market ’cause they are just a very, very rare car.

They only did about 500 of ’em were built. Getting your hands on one, you’re probably in the. Oh, God, I don’t know. I, I hate to put a number on it. Three quarter of a mill, easily, 500 to three quarter of a million, depending on options, colors, everything like that. I mean, they’re not cheap, but that four 30 scud is a, it’s an awesome car.

It is an awesome car. My garage, I love to have, I would do a 3 5 5 factory manual. I would do a four 30 factory man within a four 30 scud. With the manual swap, something along those lines or kind of vice versa. I know, I, I don’t know. I do something along those lines with the four 30. I definitely have a four 30 and the stable, and then a, the next [00:16:00] car we’re talk about a 4, 5, 8 speciale.

The, I, I think those would be the three that pop in there. Well, William, I mean those are all just, you know, eight selling the cars. I mean, how different are, they’re very, very different cars. Totally different driving experiences between them. You know, it’s just a great car. But the four 30 scud. You could drive that car, you know, a lot.

You could almost say daily. It pretty much you could, you know, but it’s a great, great car. I mean, again, if you ever get the opportunity to drive one, definitely take it. Even if you just puts it around and you can’t go more than 30 miles an hour. It’s a great car. I mean, it’s just, it’s obviously the pinnacle of the four 30 production.

Borrowing all the the 16 M as well. But I mean it’s just, it’s a great car. If you had really deep pockets, you get two scuds, one you keep with the flappy paddle and another one you do a manual swap on it and have some fun. Now I know old Freddy VARs down there, he took the reco and had it with the scud.

He put that six speed man, and he absolutely loves it. He did a knockout job with that. That’s fantastic. I wanna give a shout out if you are looking to get that done for a manual swap. I know everyone says E-A-G-A-G, you know? Yeah. They make the opponents, but there’s a couple [00:17:00] other entities out there that also make the kit and talk to the guys at Ray Hall Performance.

They’re getting into that. I know when, uh, I visited them last year and did a tour. Everything like that, they are getting into doing that. I would highly recommend, especially if we’re in this area, you know, EA G’s backed up, but hey, I mean, like I said, there’s other places you can do it, but. I would definitely give the guys at Ray Hall Performance a shout out.

If you’re looking at wanting a manual swap done on any of your Ferraris, they would be a great shop to go. Now, the next one that everyone is talking about that is just going for crazy dollars and everyone’s opinion is the last great mid engine Ferrari, naturally aspirated Ferrari into 4, 5, 8 Speciale.

The apparent version of it as well. Normal aspirated V eight screamed, and this thing sounds so good. You put the right, especially headers and pipes on this thing. Oh my God. And they’re just going up in value, you know, they’re just fantastic cars. Again, this is, if you ever have the opportunity to drive a 4, 5, 8 especially, I’ll definitely do it because you’re like, oh my [00:18:00] God, this car’s spectacular.

It is basically the four 30, obviously new body that, but it’s just so refined. It’s, I mean, they just nailed it with that car. Absolutely spectacular. If you only get one. I would recommend, depending on your bank account, I’m a manual guy, so it’s like, you know that 4, 5, 8 Speciale is just a very, very special car.

Yeah. So again, they tighten everything up, more horsepower, a little more torque, flappy pallet transmission, just unbelievable. Zero to 60 and under three seconds. It’s just got everything. And again, it’s a comfort of car that you could drive that thing across country. You know, you could daily that car, do everything that, I mean, it’s just awesome.

Awesome car they. Really got everything put together. You know, before they had to switch over to what we’re talking about next. You know, going into the turbos and stuff like that, ’cause of emissions and everything like that. It was just something that they had to do. Hands were tied in regards to, you know, environmental regulations and stuff like that.

So it sucks, but it is what it is. So, ’cause we go into the next model, [00:19:00] the 4 88 pista. This is actually starting to gain in the marketplace in regards to value, obviously go turbocharge. The cars are gorgeous looking, there’s no doubt about that. Got that scoop in the front, gorgeous, gorgeous car. They also made a convertible version of the 4 8 8 Pista.

They borrowed a lot of stuff from the challenge. Increased the horsepower to 720 horsepower, seven 10, depending on how you look at the numbers. But anyways, this was definitely heavy, heavy influence from the challenge race car versions of this car. That’s where the one, the scoop in the front comes on. I driven four eight, but I’ve never driven a pizza.

Great car. I mean, it’s gorgeous looking. And again, these are starting to gain value in the marketplace. It’s still a good value right now because it’s kind of overlooked. ’cause everyone’s going after the 4, 5, 8, especially out, you know, this is one, if you’re looking to have a car, you wanna keep it long term.

Obviously you can jump into 4, 5, 8, especially out, that’s, that’d be a great buy for it. ’cause that’s just gonna gain a value no matter what. And I think it’ll gain faster than the four eight. Well. You got good solid money on a 4 8 8 pizza. I think it’s one of those ones. [00:20:00] Obviously you’re gonna have your yearly maintenance costs, but I think it’s one where if you bought it now and in five years you sold it from what you paid for it, minus obviously you have your maintenance costs and running costs throughout those five years.

So, I mean that’s money. Just, hey, that’s gone because hey, it is price of admission, so to speak. I think you will get it back, which paid for it, if not even making some money and on where things go. So beautiful, beautiful car, you know, really leaning heavily on the race cars, pulling stuff from that. And then, you know, we get into the next model, which is the F eight tributo.

It has the same engine on the four 80 pista. Bodies tweaked, obviously tickled with the flappy paddle gearbox. It’s got a lot more hor, you know, not a lot more, but you know, it is got a bit more horsepower. It got the latest side slip, angle control stuff, you know, all the electronic nanny aids and all this kind of stuff.

You know, it’s, it is a great looking car. F eights are kind of flying under the radar too. I think it’s a great car. Especially, you know, they came out with the SF 90, I think [00:21:00] the SF 90. Really people are losing their ass on that car. Hundreds of thousands of dollars spending all this money. ’cause they had to, you know, buy that to and other things to be able to get in line to buy something special.

So I think these earlier cars are really gaining more value in people wanting to get their hands on them. The F eight tribu again, I think you’d have to go out and look at the numbers, but you know, obviously I think you’re gonna get a 4 8, 8 piece there before you get an F eight maybe. You know, looking at the car itself, I think the 4 8 8 piece has got a more aggressive look to it.

I think it looks better now. We are gonna go into what. Ferrari just came out with, and that is a 2 9 6 Speciale. I wanna say they did a hell of a job with this. Here’s the one thing on these cars, obviously, you know, they have race car for the race series and for the endurance race and stuff like that, they went down to 2 9 6.

So that’s a car that’s race. So it makes sense is what you want. But again. It’s supposed to be the entry level, but you know, you get in the specialty and be, you know, and especially when we tack on everything, the whole nine yards. It, it, it’s a great [00:22:00] looking car. People have been driving since, it’s unbelievable.

It’s got over 800 horsepower from that V six rear wheel drive, so, you know, not four wheel drive, so you don’t have all this added weight in the front. And the settle fi Ronald package, which I’m sure everybody will tick off on the order box, is over 40 grand. You know, you wanna carbon front wheels another 34 grand.

I mean, these things are not cheap. What you are getting out of this in regards to a V six A horsepower, everything like that, it’s unbelievable. You know, shaving some weight and obviously it’s sold out. That’s no brainer there. They did a really, really good job. But again, you know, what they started doing more along the lines is, you know, they made it more obviously.

A road variant as compared to, you know, how they did it in the past, you know, like they deal with the SF 90 xx, you know, all the XX cars prior were just track only. Now they made that, you know, you can drive down the road, but you know, these cars are getting priced just obscenely, but they’re sell out.

People are buying them. I like that. It, this is a great car is, like I said, you’re not really dealing with a lot of the stumped SF 90 [00:23:00] has. It’s not bloated. I would love to be able to get my hands on one of these and drive it just to feel what it’s like. It’s getting very good accolades. It’s like this is what the SF 90 should have been.

So it’d be interesting to see, ’cause obviously the SF ninety’s not being, they’re not producing anymore, right? I dunno. I’ve heard different things. They are, they’re not, whatever. I don’t know. It’s just, I’m not a fan at all of the SF 90, so I really don’t follow it. Not my, my niche. But anyways, like I said, this 2 9 6 is gorgeous.

I can’t wait to see one. He is in person. It’s an absolute beautiful car. That’s your little walk down history there with the uh, V eight mid-engine special version cars that Ferrari’s put out throughout the years. Some really, really special cars they’ve created. Like I said, in my mind, the 4, 5 8 Speciale would be at the top of the list.

Then you’re gonna go to the four 30 scud and then after that, well, I’m a fan of the 3 5 5, so I would go after 3 5, 5 somehow some way obviously, because that’s manual. Straight out. The 360 child. He is supposed to be great, but. If I’m gonna have get a four 30 scud, why would I do that? You know, the only [00:24:00] thing I’d have for is to swap in a manual into it.

So it was like if I was able to get those other, I’d buy the 360 channel, try and swap, put the manual on it, and keep the floppy paddle gearbox in the scud, maybe, I don’t know, wish, wish, wish, right, but then going down to there, it’s kind of a mixed bag in regards to the 3, 4, 8 would definitely be last. You know, I’m not a hater on that car, but you know, there’s a lot of things wrong with it.

It’s a very finicky car. It can get very expensive to keep going. You know that 4 8, 8 pizza, that’s a stunning car that’s up there as well. But as you get into those cars, you know, I don’t know how so much on the 4, 5, 8, how much that could really work on yourself, but I think to a little bit of an extent.

But once you start getting past that with the, so you’re getting to a realm where. The only way you’re going to get service on it is take it to a dealer or someone, a mechanic that knows what they’re doing, paying through the nose or hourly rate, but you know, it’s price of admission. So you gotta take what you can get.

But that’s, that’s, I like about the four 30 especially as well as, you know, that four 30 and 360. As well in three five. Five is you can do a lot of the work yourself on that. I’m wanna say they’re simple cars, but you know, they’re [00:25:00] very straightforward. There’s not much to craziness to it. So that’s my take on it.

Again, if you have any questions, thoughts, correct me on anything. You know, I’m a human, I don’t get everything right. Shoot me an email atWilliam@theferrarimarketplace.com. Love to hear from everybody. And like I said, stay tuned for some future episodes. We have Mr. Luigi Connet Jr. And Bill Warner on an episode coming up.

Not sure when we gotta get it arranged, because that’s gonna be a really, really cool episode. So keep checking or however, get dinged whatever it is, you know, to get notified of new episodes that get dropped. ’cause that one’s gonna be a good one. And appreciate you guys listening. So stay tuned. More to come.
