    Are they both brand new?
    Both are nice very nice with the right options.
    Red / tan would be easier to sell in the future.

    I know that car. Beautiful car.

    I was offered that car, I chose a new red/tan spider. Black piping and stiching.

    There is nothing more beautiful than a red/tan spider.

    Go for it. You want the red one or you would not be asking.

    Grigio Silverstone is a great color on that car. If it were my money, I'd go with that (although I'm not wild about the alcantara seats, but I could manage :) )

    I know that you can't go wrong with a red ferrari but for a guy that is in his mid 40s I think that the silverstone would be more classy and less showy.
    What do you guys think about the alcantra?

    Sound like both are pretty same car, but the color. That's easy, just ask yourself which color you really want.

    IMHO, grey will look more solid and calm, on the other hand, red will be more flashy and turn head.

    BTW, both colors are pop, enjoy picking & driving one in good health!!

    Alcantara is cool, it will keep you stick well on the seat even once pushing hard. That's not too tough to keep it clean.

    I love alcantara interior on my CS so much.

    Their are a lot of red ones because a lot of people like red ones.... choose the color that suits YOU. Forget what others say or if you may run into another one in a similar color. Who CARES as long as you enjoy it.

    In view of recent threads may I ask the rude question : are you being offered both at list ?

    In which case the Grigio makes more sense as well as being a more elegant combination

    If you are paying the same premium for each buy the red as you will lose less

    Yes I'm getting both at msrp, I'm 90% sure that I'm gonna get the silverstone. I don't think that red would be a bad color but I'm looking for a sophisticated color/gentleman's car.
    I'll let you guys know on tuesday!!!

    Silverstone is the way to go, just too many reds out there. IMO, I want to be unique and much prefer metallics.
    Congrats and Good Luck!

    I recomend the Silverstone especially if you're over 40. I have a yellow 360, a red 599, and a silverstone 430 coupe. If you want everybody on the street looking at you get red or yellow. Otherwise, get the silverstone which looks great as you know. You'll love the car in either color. Get what lights you up the most when you see it.

    Now I'm leaning towards the red one, I'm waiting for the red's window sticker so that I can make sure it has all the right options.
    BTW the red one arrives sometime in october. But still I think it's worth the wait!!!
