Hi Peter!
Looking for a CS with EXACTLY those spec! (titanium/black, yellow calipers)
If you don't find time to drive it!! LOL let me know! I will be happy to be the 4th owner!!

Maybe the next CS get together could be at Nobu for dinner?

 

Picked it up in the bay area and drove it home to Phoenix this weekend. I'll post pictures soon.

 

I was curious about a few percentages... so, I did a little data processing on the most recent spreadsheet... and came up with some numbers at the bottom of the sheet.

For example,
= of the Stradales that we know the Exterior color, 65% are Red, 13% are Black, 7% are Silver, 5% are Titanium, 5% are Blue, and 3% are Yellow.
= of those that are listed as Red, 47% are listed as Scuderia, 12% are listed as Corsa. (Many aren't specified.)
= of the Stradales that we know the Caliper color, 46% are Black, 44% are Red, 8% are Yellow, and 2% are Silver.
= of the Stradales that we know the Interior color, 47% are Black/Red, 25% are Black, 12% are Red, 5% are Tan.
= of the Stradales with advertising info, 16% have Stripes; at least 4% of the total Stradales have Stripes.

I make the assumption that if you list features, you'll definitely list Stripe if it has one, and you'll definitely list Caliper color if not Black. I do NOT assume you'll list Leather or Alcantara... so, I only mark those if one or the other is explicitly listed. Suede I took to mean Alcantara.

It is interesting to note that 64% of those with advertising info listed "shields"... even though that's a standard feature on the US CS. Did anyone ask to have the shields removed? (I vaguely recall someone ordering no shields, but Ferrari put them on anyway.)

FWIW.

wow.. sounds beautiful.. got any pictures? especially of the Roll bar? and I'm curious to see the 'beige alcantara w/ blue stitching'.

 

As an update to my previous post, I bought this one from Josh (SANguru) in August of this year.

 

and the other car???????

 

LOL.......Will enter it as soon as I have it in hand. Hopefully a week or so.

 

Just picked up 134731 from Penske Wynn Ferrari in Vegas yesterday, drove it all the way home to Socal, through a big sand storm w/ at least 50 MPH wind. Car was stable and rock solid in the cross wind. I sold my F355 Spyder last month and traded an '04 GT3 to Penske for this CS and after driving it for almost 400 miles since yesterday, I don't regret the purchase one bit. It is as good as you guys say it is. Initially I didn't think it would be as fast as the GT3 but my butt dyno is telling me it is faster. Car is in Rosso Scuderia and has a big JL Audio amp in the front trunk, so I'll have to remove this monster amp and put the car on a diet next week.
Qestion to CS owners - what is the best way to make the smoothest shifts when I'm NOT in a hurry (or when girlfriend is putting on her eye makeup)?

 

keep your foot in but have RACE off

 

Exactly oppsite of 100% maunal car - keep your right foot as constant as possible i.e. do no modulate the throttle pedal. This gives the ECU a constant point on the throttle curve to target which allows the smoothest clutch/gear engagement & clutch dis-engagemnt.

?? what happened??

 

I was cut off on the NY State Thruway - launched and flew 75 feet - and hit a 30 inch tree head on.

 

OUCH! Nevermind the car..........are you okay?

 

you ok tho?

 

lol...........imo the most bang for the buck in Ferraris currently! Plus I think CSs will trend upward from here on out.

 

WOW ! Sad to hear. Hope you are fine . Will you be getting another one ?

 

I must agree. This yellow CS is even more striking then my red one. And the red one has a stripe.
Took it down to fill up the tank last night and spent half an hour chatting it up with 2 "old" time Porsche guys.
