    For me be best Collecton of Challenge and GT Cars is:

    - 348 Challenge with racing History and street legal. The beginning of all.

    - 355 Challenge street legal and racing history. Last 3 Pedal Cars, gearshift, No electronic.

    - 360 Challenge Stradale, Best Sound for a Road legal car and Perfect for track Days with No trailer, mechanics etc.,...

    - 360 N-GT or GT Michelotto, beginning of Ferrari in GT sport, mostly fantastic History inkl. Sebring, daytona, SPA, LeMans,....
    No Electronic, incredible Sound, low numbers built.

    I'm working in it ;-)

    To collect or to track?

    My personal preference:

    - F40 LM IMSA Version driven by J. Alesi
    - 360 GTC (NO conversion, one of the 6 originals)
    - 430 GT2 with Le Mans History
    - 458 GTE with Le Mans and/or WEC History

    I like very track oriented street Ferraris, especially with something special to the production, design, or place in history.

    I have one of the 45 Factory Challenge 348s - an unraced TB with the right amount of challenge parts installed that keep it suitable for street use. I also have an F40, which is not only the best Ferrari made but the best car ever made, in my opinion.

    Each of these cars has an amazing combination of precision and rawness, like specialty tools. However, they each make for perfect street cars and give me a ton of joy in their usability, which pure race cars can't do.

    The idea of a Challenge Stradale is interesting but after those two cars, I've found that the right third Ferrari for me is a GT car and so I bought a 550 Maranello. It's great for long road trips: good comfort and capability but still keeping the experience very "Ferrari."

    My preference is the 1995 355 Ch, but willing to trade for a 355 GT if a 95 model with Daytona history or other pro history exists.

    What about the Prodrive 550's? I would take one of those before a 360 NGT...

    I like your list but I'd choose the 348 gtc...I wish they had made a similar version of the 355 to slot in with the gtc and cs. The closest are the fiorano editions (and they're not really that close), but it'd have to be a hard top for me.

    Nice. No longer looking for a 360CH?

    I am open to adding any challenge model I don't have. Just feel the 458 has a priority over the 360 and 430.
    Yes I do want one of each I am greedy.
