Yea... So... This is what a modena should look like...
You guys are missing the most important point, these cars are not made for us, the average consumer, these are Supercars, it is made for Rich ppl that can afford the car and an extra cup of frappaccino...these ppl don't care about tuning cars, when a ferrari and a suped up S2K comes out rolling side by side, most ppl are going to stare at the ferrari...period These cars have a special aura that regular cars don't, b/c u don't see 10 of them everyday...get that "oh for that price I can make my car 10x as fast as a ferrari and still have cash left over to spend" mentality out of ur heads...cuz the ppl that buy these cars, will have extra loads of cash to spend elsewhere

the 360 challenge stradale isn't even really made to be driven on the road. its a track car made street legal (F-40, F-50, enzo anyone?).
I don't know if this is what you mean, but the stradale can switch modes between sport and race; which changes damper and traction control on/off. On top of that there is also some kind of launch control similar to their F1 cars when traction control is off in race mode.
What i find amazing is the titanium front and rear springs, electronic damper control, F1 gear box, and they even got a tiny ram-air effect (only 2% at top speed) that really just lets the car breathe better.
I am still wondering why they went with 19" rims though. The BBS wheels look absolutly amazing, but a smaller rim, say 17" with more tire would be alot lighter. Then again, that car has more torque than 2 of our tiny cars, so it can haul *** alot better with those things.
Edit: the ride height is probably the same as the 360 modena, but the modena is 46.6" tall, and the challenge stradale is actually 47.2". The challenge is almost an inch taller, but taking the slightly lower bumpers into consideration i do believe they are extremly close to the same.

Is the car an inch higher cause it has bigger rims? Does it have bigger rims than a regular modena?
Its 462 pounds lighter then a regular modena!!! What the heck, it weights pratically the same as a Civic ex coupe.

its lighter because they use different materials in making the car, and the modena is more equipped for daily driving; heavier seats, stereo, more bells/whistles.
as for rims
360 modena = 18" rims, front and rear only vary in width.
challenge stradale = 19" rims, front and rear only vary in width.
