I have my driving experience next week and have just got a letter through to say if I pay £20 I can drive the f430 scuderia instead of the normal f430 
What should I do

Whats the difference?
On those drive experiences they mother you so badly it becomes a bit dull.. So I cant see how even if its a 'more powerful' version it makes a shit of a difference because they are going to make you drive like your nan.

From what i've heard on here you won't be taking them anywhere near limits anyway so might as well save your money.

Could always upgrade to say you've driven one.
Bet your looking forward to it now after these comments.

Always wanted to do one of these days, but as said. They tell you exactly what to do and totally kill the "experience"

Probably will do tbh like you said just to say "I have driven one"
They don't let you drive these cars to the limit no - people who are 17 and have only just passed their tests can do these driving experiences they'd be crashing a ferrari/lambo every week if they did
Should be good fun non the less - I get one of those "flying" laps at the end too

my dads bin on one, and it totally depends on whos in the car with you, he drove the ferrari 360 and lambo gallardo.
ferrari he had some old bloke in who wouldnt let him push it at all so was very tame and slow, lambo on the other hand he had a young bloke in who wouldnt let you pull off untill you proved to him you could move your foot completely over the brake and put it to the floor
so as you can tell he got to basically do what ever he wanted and the instructor just told him 'when i say brake BRAKE'

I did one with a mate at Brunters about 3 months ago. Drove a Lambo.........was made to shift up at 4k rpm and managed a top speed of 120mph!
Was a bit gash really! Depends on the "instructor" you get I think. My mate said the guy in with him let him give the 430 some!
