Robert, I haven't considered the options yet since I'll spec the car in 6 months or so. Sorry John, but I think a stereo is a must have. After all this is a street car. ACW | ||

HI, Here are some photos as well: 360 Stradale Pictures I like the cosmetic changes to it. I think it also produces 50% more downforce than a 360. | ||

Rollbar is NOT an option in the US, purportedly. Neither are the race harnesses. I wish both were... I'd be getting them. I didn't know the headliner could be done in alcantara... I'll probably do that... the stock stuff is kinda weird looking. Though a nav system *is* an option, it's a lame nav system... no map... just prints messages on the little LCD display. If you want a nav system, I recommend after-market. (I have one in every car but my Ferrari.) I cannot wait to drive one... in particular into rattlesnake at MSR, 130 MPH, stand on the HUGE brakes way later than I do now (passenger panicing as they expect we can't stop in time), turn-in, the lighter car starts rotating into coming slalom (passenger now sure we've lost it), get on gas a bit to settle rear, toss car like a Miata through next turn, getting it quickly rotated so that you can get back on... oh, sheez... sorry, I started daydreaming with my fingers on the keyboard. Oh, I love this car... and I haven't even driven it yet... just sat in it... read all the specs... watched the video... [sigh] ... hoping each day to get the call from Tony that its time for my order to go to the factory... | ||

I think the mirrors look good - and that appears to be absolutely top-notch carbon fiber work. | ||

I saw the option list at my dealers several weeks ago. I'm planning to order a Stradale for delivery next spring or summer. The brochure, which I have, does not list options. From what I remember, here are some of the options: 1. seat surfaces, lower dash, rear shelf/inner sills, and headliner can be had in leather or alcantara 2. paint in any ferrari color, like the modena,etc. 3. stripes are an option 4. painted calipers 5. colored interior stitching to match interior 6. cd radio with subwoofer; radio is mounted below the main dash as in photo 7. navigation system is an option also Of note, all US Stradales will have AC as standard, along with glass power windows and power locks with an alarm/immobilizer unit. The integrated roll bar is NOT available on US cars. Also, sliding lexan side windows are not available on US Stradales. I'm thinking of ordering mine in titanium with red leather seats, lower dash, and red leather headliner - with matching red stitching on the black surfaces such as the steering wheel, upper dash, A and B pillars, and rear shelf. Oh, and red calipers for those monster brakes. I hope this info helps. Any one else ordering one? | ||

Solly: both cars I've seen (albeit w/ EU plates) had a roll bar; should be an option on US cars. I'd hope. | ||

Does the Stradale come with an integral roll bar? I saw the "race" button on the console. If not, what type of rollover protection is built into the design? I presume this car is meant as a street/track car with all the carbon fiber and the Challenge doors. The door appears to have a reinforcing bar on the interior that is absent from the Challenge. Is a/c standard? | ||

John, I'm with you on the stereo! I was planning to order mine with stereo, given its nice to be able to get traffic reports every once in a while. That was until this car (which is touring the country) was at FoDallas... and I saw how they were mounting it... and that it includes a big-@$$ subwoofer mounted on the shelf between the seats... no way I'll be ordering that option!! I'll just get a little pocket AM radio for my emergency kit in the glove box.  | ||

A STEREO!!!!! That's terrible. Anyone asking for this absurd modification should automatically kicked off the list, and be disqualified from ownership. | ||

Is that a stereo/CD player hanging just below the climate control system? Interesting.... | ||

Hi All, just FYI if anyone is interested in a brochure on the Stradale I have a few in my stock. They are in English and Italian. I would need to get $12.00 each. / That would include shipping USPS to anyone on the F-Chat board. This is something I am not selling on my site... Send me an email if you are interested. I have 9 in stock but I believe I can get more. Personally I like the steering wheel, easer to view the gauges!

Ferrari of San Francisco has a 360 Challenge Stradale factory prototype in their showroom. I snapped a few quick pictures while I was there. The car is awesome in person!!         |
