AFS is mandatory for lifter so every car with a lifter will have afs. I’ve yet to see a car that specced AFS exclusively although it is possible.

I personally mandate rear view camera but that’s up to you. There are aftermarket solutions but they can be a bit janky, especially with the guidance lines.

Most people do not like the carbon under door panel. It’s also like a $10K option so quite rare.

Carbon aero fins are the 3 flaps on the rear diffuser that deploy at certain speed. They are painted body color otherwise.

Standard fabric is the Kevlar type material that you see all over the cabin.

 

Rare but not sure it’s all that valuable or desirable. It’s a meh option from what I’ve read.

 

some people like chocolate, some like vanilla. i wld rather have a car without the signatures. some people like having one with. dont think it adds or detracts a dollar value.

 

For me this would be a dealbreaker. Sure, a Luca signature or perhaps a Kimi Raikonen sig had he for some odd reason tested that very car on Fiorano, sure, good stuff. But a bunch of "random" names plastered all over the engine bay? Heck no.

 

Like I said - most people don’t care. It’s a meh option.

 

yeh if i found a perfect spec car (for me argento/no stripe) id look past it.

 

Indeed. I just did the writeup as an example of how something like those signatures would work for some of us.

 

The Argento no stripe is a fantastic combination. Still looking for an example.

 

I've seen black and red ones. Were there ever any AN w/o stripe ordered?

 

Saw one for sale six months ago but it was picked up quickly.

 

Interesting that two members in this thread alone said stripeless argento is their dream spec. My dealership had that exact combo with only 1900 miles and it sat for almost 400 days in inventory before it found a buyer.

Highlights how everyone’s tastes can differ.

OP, if you like the signatures, get it. It’s a very rare option so the opportunity to get one is uncommon.

 

Cple thoughts- 1) the time it sat was a reflection of the ask price. 2)for me the last thing I need is another low mile car… I’ve also noticed for me, for a car to make it into my stable today it really needs to be something special, something im willing to spend money on in terms of storage, servicing etc.… And the brutal reality is I’d be better off selling a lot of my smaller cars and getting an F50 and a Laf but I really do love each of my current cars like a kid.

 

I’ve thought about consolidating as well - selling a bunch for a halo car like the F50 or F40. But likewise, it’s nice to have different strokes for different occasions.

Regarding the specs discussed, it’s all personal. I didn’t need a lot of options - it’s a race car. No lift for me is fine. Don’t have rearview camera. Didn’t have a lot of CF, so I added some (easy to do). I just wanted a white one.
It is a helluva fun to drive!

That's not me. I used this picture as my title. Look at that cracker that sold me the car.

That’s exactly the car I was referring to. Congrats on owning such a beautiful vehicle. I’ve only ever seen two stripeless silver Speciale. The other one is also owned by an active Ferrarichat member located in washington state.

 

You would think he would be frowning, letting such a beautiful ride go

 

I visit Rich and Co often and saw that car many times. If I could afford a Speciale, it would have been mine. Well bought!

 

Agreed! Looks Really bad IMO. Takes away from the beautiful engine bay.
