    Some of you may have seen my earlier post on my First Ferrari, a 2006 Spider with 2k miles on her.

    I was really struggling with the decision between the F430 Spider and the CS. Many of you voted for me to buy the CS, but I went with the Spider. Ultimately, I couldn't get the CS out of my head. I went back to the dealer 9 days later and bought the CS too. Now I have the perfect pair.

    Now that's what I call solving a problem. Congrats on both.

    So... having both now, which one brings more smiles? The more I see the CS, the more I really like it..

    They both bring on big grins. I think I like the F430 for the street, very balanced and smooth. it's also a six speed and I like to shift. Plus tops down is nice in sunny weather.

    The CS is just begging me to take her to the track. It's hard to really work the F1 on the street. You quickly run out of road. I run Watkins Glen May 5th & 6th. We'll see how she does there.

    So I guess I would sum up by saying each has it's place and I'll try to give each car equal seat time. But, once the 458 Italia shows up, I have a whole new set of challenges.

    Both cars looks beautiful, but that Challenge Stradale is pure badass! :) Best of luck!

    LOL. The perfect solution. Good for you, the combination of spider and coupe is perfect (I solved a similar problem, but in a slightly different way)

    Nicely done!
