I have a 85 308QV which is a targa (GTS) and I love it. For some reason I have never really been all that crazy about convertibles so the targa gives me the nice open air feeling without the increased wind buffeting. If I could have any Ferrari it would be a Red 355 GTS. They are all such great cars I guess it is just what you like the most and what you want to do withit regarding the structural layout (berlinetta best on track, convertible really nice on summer days on a back road, GTS somewhere in between these two).

What is your criteria beyond frequency of use, Leo? Coupe is stiffer and the better choice if you're doing a lot of track days. You'll hear more motor in the convertible, and there's something to be said for that. A comparable coupe costs less than a Spider. A GTS is probably the least common of the trio. Though hardly subtle, a coupe is probably a little less flashy than the Spider, IMO. That's about all I can think of. Either way, nice choice to have.
