Reviews Class of 2007: 430 Scuderia vs 997 GT3 RS vs Gallardo Superleggera
Yeah, a few years ago I would have taken the 997 GT3 RS, but now seeing the evolution of GT3, today definitely 430 Scuderia as it seems to stand the test of time the best out of the three.

I've seen this video on another thread and I wanted to say something after I watched it, but I lost where it was.
Anyway, I liked the scenery and the footage of the video, so thanks to the channel for doing that, but there are some things that interest me, so mind a bit of a different view on some of the content.
I'm sensing that we're having a new round of nostalgic reviews. It's kind of funny (not being sarcastic) that these cars have now become "the last of the old guard" as they are last ones to provide the raw experience before technology takeover.
Throughout the video, I began remembering when these were new around 12 years ago, they were considered as too advanced and the overload of technology has compromised the "raw" driving experience. These cars have traction control, and for the Italians, add a launch control and a paddle shifter gearbox, all of which are usually not being considered as elements in the raw experience (that raw word is becoming tiring to use).
A thing that peaked my interest but I don't know much about, which is t the poster on the wall thing. This expression used to be applied for cars of the 70's, the 80's or the 90's as a sign of the times before the internet age, so I'm not sure if this can be applied for these particular cars.
A nostalgic thing is that this video reminded me of the Top Gear challenge in 2007 when they took the same cars (May used an Aston V8 variant instead of the Ferrari).
About the cars themselves...
I'm a Ferrari fan, so I like the Scuderia the most. This GT3 RS is a bit interesting that it didn't have much media coverage back in the day as the new ones do, and it's not as aggressive as its successor ones from a styling and equipment point of view.
One last thing: I kind of like about the time when these cars were around that there wasn't much emphasis on what time they did around the Nurburgring or a particular track. I blame the Nissan GT-R for starting the craze of chasing track numbers. I admit that I liked reading about that when I was in my early 20's but now I have a different view...

My ranking and what I would take home from the 3:
1. Gallardo Superleggera, best sounding car of the 3, best looking and most fun one.
2. F430 Scuderia, 2nd best sounding V8 Ferrari after 360CS, one of the better looking Ferraris from 2000s, probably best auto gearbox of the 3 and probably the best one to drive.
3. 997 GT3 RS, best looking GT3RS, proper manual gearbox, probably sharp as fuc, best driver's car of the 3.
