    At some point we should start asking ourselves when to go shopping for a dealership...

    I’ve just acquired a car from FofMinneapolis and couldn’t be happier. By far best F dealer experience I’ve had.

    I'm just going to buy Ferrari.

    Why deal with the middlemen.

    As previously posted I think the spec is fantastic, those ventilated power seats are rare and extremely comfortable option and I think the car will do very well! It will also help the buyer get a VS GTS because owning a regular GTS is a requirement for that.

    Nice spec. Nothing particularly special but very tasteful. I don’t agree that the seats make it more desirable.

    I've met their GM Joe Fabiano and become friendly with him since we met at Miami F1, a straight forward gentleman. He appears to be totally transparent and understands that us clients are not idiots and treats them this way. I hope he stays the path and doesn't get tainted like the rest of them.

    I drove a 296 with buckets and they fit well but man did the rubbing squealing nose annoy me? Does it get better over time?

    I originally was hunting for a car with buckets but after that drive I may stick with standard seats

    Didn’t notice rubbing or squealing. Not with the seats.

    The seats may have been pushed too far back and could have been rubbing against the leather lining the rear bench area. I noticed this when I test drove my car. Moving the seat forward fixed the issue.

    correct, the sound is when the seat is in the farthest back position and then it rubs.

    I’m going 450-470, that’s still a ton of free options!

    According to our pals over on the 296 VS thread, the 296 Speciale Coupe will be around $550k to $600k and the 296 Speciale Aperta will be $650k to $700k. What does that do for 296 GTB and GTS values?

    It doesn’t strike me that the production numbers if the speciale will be high enough for gtb and gts owners to move into? Who knows

    I’m hoping it does so GTBs drop a little more..
