I'm PASSING on THIS Ferrari... FOR NOW!

When will we see a modern classic Ferrari joining my collection!? There are multiple brand new models from Maranello in the Shmeemobiles, but today I'm with @RyanFriedmanMotorCars in New York to drive a gated manual swap Challenge Stradale. Plenty of V8 noise as food for thought!

I make no secret that my favourite Ferrari ever is the F50, but with one recently selling over $5M at auction, that ship has certainly sailed. But why then have I not bought one of the other models I like a lot; for example the 458 Italia or F430 Spider? In fact recently I've driven the manual 599 with @HooviesGarage, the 550 with @JRGarage and even @seenthroughglass's CS as well. However, today, while driving the stripped out 360, it's time to talk more about this and what the future is going to look like at The Shmuseum.

Having joined Ryan Friedman Motor Cars recently in California during Monterey Car Week for a convoy run in the PTS Pastel Orange 997 GT3 RS 4.0, giving chase to the Challenge Stradale; we're now on the other coast, many thousands of miles away, trying the CS itself! Not only that, but with a convoy of 6 of them together.

A special thanks to Ryan Friedman Motor Cars for hosting this drive, and the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the Challenge Stradale.

Seen through glass ( sam ) would be having a heart attack seeing all them cars together

Tim, I know it's being picky, but it's not a manual swap, it's a conversion. The transmission is the same, it's just that the auto-shift mechanism is removed and manual linkage installed with a clutch pedal.

[TDLTDL]

My dream Ferrari’s would be a 360 manual, 430 manual or a 550 manual. Older, simpler cars. I share your passion for the F50 though. It was my favourite and I had F50 bedding as a child ha.

[add.j.]

The older Ferrari become more and more appealing as the days go by 👌🏻

The new ones are awesome too!

[C.Brooks]

My guy, your appreciation for fine automobiles is truly a treat to behold. I'm thrilled to the bones to see an amazing video of such Bad assery. Thank you for sharing these experiences, You da man Tim!!🫡

[andrewbartle]

Keeping up with your Ferrari spree. Ditch the Zenvo and get a 360 CS, 812 gts, 550 Barchetta or 599GTO.

[tombomb]

I love the F430 design, simply amazing best modern classic appearance out of all, plus amazing sound, and gated shifter as well. Dream

[erykmozejko]

There are some cars which on first fance or try perhaps seem like they’re very much integrated shadow of its stable mates. Yet when over a bit of time you really become in tune with the car you suddenly find it gives you more satisfaction than some others which on paper have more performance or sophistication. It becomes either that one you could never part with, or always regret letting go of.
I suspect this 360 could be one of those cars for you Tim?

[KorenaErrera]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

Tim you seem to be Very Close to CLK GTR enjoyment in this Ferrari...that smile and energy you have is definitely noticeable....

[BigDCarMan]

Hi Tim. For me I enjoy your purchase of the New cars! But a lot of what enjoy is seeing is how much you enjoy the cars!! So for me I would enjoy your videos just as much, if you were buying the modern classics!! Like the Ferrari CS!! 👍

[Grumpyoldman]

Dude I’m so happy to see you living the dream!! You seem like a truly good guy. Keep enjoying life and sharing it with us!

[ZMANalive]

458 with a manual swap. It is one of the best engines.

[TheFunkhouser]

That metallic sliver colour is MEGA! 😍

[HellcatDreaminJosh]

Shmee150 Great Review I think it's awesome that you got to Drive that Absolutely incredible Gated Manual Swapped 360 Challenge Stradale and I think you should definitely get one for the collection in the future along with a 458 Speciale

[alexandrumarinescu]

The yellow and titanium grey ones look amazing!

[MRVSKIN]

Why not find one. Get it. Then send it straight off to a company who will make it in your spec like you did with the SLS and you don’t take delivery until it is completely done ????🤷‍♂️

[damontravis]

Really hope you add a 458 Speciale to the collection at some point. An incredible car… and the prices reflect it too 👍🏼

[NewHaven]

It was awesome having you here in the states Shmee! I hope you come back to Connecticut soon

[rcclassicgarage]

I love my Ferrari 360 and think one would make a fantastic addition to your collection
