    Chas,

    Glad to see your enjoying your CS. Have you driven it enough to formulate a comparison between your Spider to the CS?

    I still have my Spider and just recently had it lowered by FoA to CS specs and have to say made a huge difference in handling. But the only draw back is how low that sucker is now. Are you having to drive your CS with more care due to the ride height?

    Yeah a little bit........I just take a bit of a wider angle when exiting and entering. I do have the skid plates installed on my CS so they take all of the potential bumps etc etc.

    As far as comparing the spider to the CS, with all due respect to all, the CS is incredible.
    I typically buy my Ferrari in the spring and sell it in the fall and then search over the winter for the replacement. This will be the first Ferrari Ive owned that will see spring again in my care :), this will be a very difficult car to sell.........if I sell at all.

    Im also looking at adding a 330GTC to the stable............

    Hopefully you decide to keep her and possibly add another car for a fun purchase. I know the first time I saw a CS in person was at the Ferrari Challenge up at Road Atlanta and it still had the exotic look of the new Scuderia. I for one will say that the CS is still my favorite looking Ferrari.

    Good luck on the 330GTC. Not a up to speed on the classic Ferrari side but have seen some in pics that blows me away that they could mold sheet metal into such pieces of rolling art.

    Crap that makes me miss my 360 so much! (on the other side of the world from her).

    It seems your CS 'excels' at 'excelerating'!!!!

    I had my first taste of a CS yesterday. It was only for 20 minutes or so because we had to switch up drivers with other cars, but the acceleration and the whole feel of the car is amazing. Add one more to the cult of followers.

    Yeah there is no real way to describe it. I have a little time in the scuderia, but there is just something about the CS that grabs me, but don't worry h20 I didn't take her over 40mph
