How Do You Replace A Ferrari 430 Scuderia? Why I Sold Mine, And What's Replacing It

[@Pandamonium128]

Well I can't say I expected that. I think you've gone for a very left field choice here, it'll be interesting to see how different it is to the scud.

[@YrnehLrak]

Congratz on your new 430! You asked us to chime in so heres the opinion: it looks GREAT in black. I love how its carbon bits blend in. The original owner probably thought a ferrari were flashy enough, but here are these carbon bits that only people whos familiar with the car will notice and appreciate. The color matched stripes to the rims are perfect. No haste changing the look of this one Jayemm! Gratz again.

[@railb1rd]

I thought exactly the same. Hearing him say he wants golden rims on this literally felt painful. I would rather think about painting the break calibers also in grey.

[@goodfest007]

Totally agree - keep it original and sophisticated…the original owner had class…

[@lptomtom]

TBH nothing's flashy enough for him, no wonder he's a bit underwhelmed by such an elegant colour combination

[@mikesanders5433]

That whole opening segment was sublime and exactly the reason why I rate the channel so highly. Ignore the whinging dribblers mate, your channel and ever increasing popularity is proof that doing things the way YOU want to is working wonders 👍🏻

[@lptomtom]

What whinging dribblers? His community is one of the most enthusiastic and supportive on KZbin!

[@mikesanders5433]

@@lptomtom it’s not his community that’s the issue mate. Somebody shows any sign of success then in come the trolls and insufferable fanboys of rival channels trashing it. Happens all the time unfortunately such is the internet.

[@johnnywalker9082]

Surprised you could say all that while noshing him off so hard

[@JasonMilner]

Not usually a fan of carbon trim, but in this case, I'm happy to make an exception. Usually carbon trim (as opposed to a carbon tub) is all about the bling factor, but this is stealth carbon. It's a set of subtle details you don't even notice until you look a little closer, and I love that.

[@Sean_Farmer]

I think you made great decisions with the cars you purchased and totally understand the reasoning behind each one. Having that diversity allows for different driving experiences and, in theory, will keep you interested in each one for quite some time. The fact that you got a replacement with all that extra carbon is a great bonus!

[@garycollard1981]

Ah, the word "diversity" in a positive way I can understand :)

Reasoning aka excuses. Aka James is a nightmare customer

[@boostedt0y]

My friends and I who have scuds and track as well all have had suspension issues similar to this video. The suspension issues were only rectified after bushing, ball joint, and drop link replacement.

[@clivecato5923]

I am a fairly recent viewer (2 years or so) of your channel. I grew up reading what car. Car etc from 1974 as a teenager, and loved reading the tests. Scoops, and stories. To be Frank I find hyper cars occasionally interesting. ( 200 - 300 plus mph down a Air strip..... Little drama except great engine noise... Thank god for that !) I love that you give space to try all types of cars, but testing a car, and loving it for weeks. Months or a year you get to understand if it is for you or not long term we're servicing. Parts. Maybe even mods to improve reliability. Drivability. These are some things I am sure you have considered (I have not yet watched the video, but the thumb nail warranted a comment!) now on to the video (sorry.. Film !)

[@TheChugnut]

I love your candidness about some people's bizarre comments. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@richardcarter1000]

I still love the early F355. You're building a great collection there. I had a suspension rattle on mine for a few years, changed shocks, bushes etc. Turned out to be a gearbox mount.

[@andrewbradburn1528]

Great

[@rollotomassi8251]

Oh now that is an excellent shout.

RIP

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome video. Fantastic new car. A fun and shouty car like this needs fun colour. Those who get a stealth colour are kidding themselves. Looking forward to a future videos on this car. Keep up the good work.

[@martinmoore7551]

James. As far as I am concerned your decision making is spot on. Great car, and with the plans you have will be very special. But, three Ferrari on the drive, what are you trying to do to all your fans ? We are already in awe at what you have achieved, and now you tell us you have a second channel, really??? We love you and and the journey you are taking us on, and wish you continued success and long life, but where do you find those shirts ?

[@bruceybonus7091]

Forget the comments about being a crap KZbinr, your channel is one of my favorite and I don't miss a video, keep up the good work

[@JBsC6]

Corvette c8 z51 in europe might have been interesting to consider possibly sometime in the future now that they come with the steering wheel on the right side of the car. Awesome new ferrari f430 though. Beautiful as is . Great video

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Beautiful car - well chosen, James

[@jameskalas16]

Congrats James! Wasn’t expecting another Scud but completely get it. If I was lucky enough to be in a position to buy a car if that ilk, it would be either a Scud or a 997.2 GT3 👌🏻

[@scuddryvr8784]

James, I’ve owned both. Great taste in cars. The 997.2 is fantastic, and honestly I was worried the Scud could not top the driving experience. I was not able to properly drive the Scud on my test drive in a major city. I took a leap of faith. First time I hammered it on a back road back home my worries disappeared. The V8 scream tops the mezger howl and seeing the horse on the steering wheel is much more special. Reliability is the only thing I worry about. I knew the GT3 was gonna start every time with no warning lights. Scud is just a matter of time.

[@scuddryvr8784]

I have some videos on my channel.

[@marcnobel3938]

Funny outcome. Excited for the content. - There are sensors today that can tell you quite exactly where each car vibration is coming from. Seen that at an AMG Specialist. Very trick stuff with amazing detailed results.

[@richardsmith9509]

James, NEVER, never get rid of this car,......its gorgeous

[@costafilh0]

As a minimalist myself I think it actually looks PERFECT on this spec!

[@classickproductionco]

I thought it was illegal for a youtuber to change the exhaust for one with less noise! 🤣 Great video as always, looking forward to future updates!

James , You've got the Best Car Channel on KZbin !!! & look how far you've come since your Merc S500L luxo barge a few years ago , When I buy a new motor it must be totally original as it left the factory & look like it's just come out of the box , have extras like Folding Electric Mirrors, Heated Seats/ steering wheel, Rear tinted windows / parking sensors , Your new Ferrari 430 in that colour scheme looks the 'Dog's swingy bits' & very Dark Knight !! Another Great Video

[@JayEmmOnCars]

That's extremely kind!

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Loved the intro, if we all acted on everything people left as critique in comments, would we ever get any great content. Having such content as yours away from mainstream as a private individual, for me is the pinnacle of information. Genuine, honest....do I agree with everything you say? perhaps not but that is not worth the effort of mentioning. I love cars, always have, as much as you I'd say, but could I put together the videos with the succinct comprehension, repeatedly in a way that people enjoy. I doubt it. Jay just keep doing what you are doing, being yourself. I have learnt and received so much great info from your content. As always thanks!

[@DidierPeroni]

I was never able to appreciate this until just now, but your intros are very well done. If you dont actually write your videos (yes, i meant write), this is very impressive. Cheers, keep up the good work

[@david_dse]

What a great collection. Enjoyed your walkthrough of how you ended up buying this specific beast. This is superb storytelling and I almost felt like the dilemma was mine, even though I can by no means afford anything with a horse on its badge right now 😀

[@timmietz]

Congratulations! Great car. I am on a second scooter of myself. My first one was a high mile Rosa Corsa, my current one is a 4300 mile GIALLO MODENA. I have tried to buy Speciale a few years back, but I was very disappointed by the size of a car as well as the lack of noise. Scooter is I just pure and raw. I am keeping this one as long as I can!

[@vwgolf9826]

I'd love to know how much a large KZbin channel returns? Running three Ferrari's the costs must be eye watering.

[@kieranblacker]

I know a few people with Fairly big channels, and they make good money. Mainly sponsorships. However also worth noting, if they run it as a business they can claim expenses etc. So bills and fuel get effectively 20% cheaper.

[@davidtucker5432]

I know that the cars you own partly support the channel, hut its interesting how a lot of KZbinrs spend huge amounts on cars, but dont have enough room to park most of them at their house! Have you considered a Car Guys style building? No need for storage fees then... it was staggering how much Shmee was paying for a few grotty spaces in London.

[@Gavin-oq5tt]

Great to see a Scuderia back on the channel - as you say, there is not a lot of content on it out there. I have a similar approach to cars - I have the 550, Speciale and 348. A variation on your approach and I must say I was influenced by your 550 purchase. Looking forward to hearing more about your 550 journey. Mine needed a bit of sorting too.

[@paulfrere7902]

This was a little unexpected but bravo! Am liking the constant improvements in your production values James, I noticed this video seemed to have some subtle new camera angles and viewpoints. 👍

I have a lot of respect for you James, I like the channel and your general down-to-earth attitude. I'm definitely not usually the kind of person who will make criticisms on KZbin video comments but I find myself excessively triggered by your new Ferrari not having a front numberplate. It seems to me in general the purview of people who think they are better than everyone else and have lots of money so it doesn't matter if they get pulled over and fined. I don't think that's who you are. I certainly hope not. I always ran A front numberplate on my Celica even though I think it did nothing for the looks of the car. I hope you will too.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

There's actually an update coming about the front plate, in short I hate it when cars don't have one too!

I possibly would have gone for the 458 myself, absolutely in love with that car and I think it's one of the best Ferraris ever made. Or maybe a Ford GT if that's an option for that price? But whatever, the Scud is an incredible car and I'm just super jealous. Can't fault the logic in buying one again.
