    I've been looking at all of the listings for 296s and noticed that there seem to be alot more coupes that are red than spiders. More than 40% of the 296 GTBs that are listed for sale are red, vs only 30% for the GTS. Also alot more Blue GTSs. I was wondering if that's because there were alot of people who ordered red just to resell it or if folks just think the coupe looks better in red. Here is the breakdown of the distribution of colors between the two.

    This is because many ordered the GTB with the intention to sell it. Many GTS buyers also ordered a GTB, for example, and planned to trade the GTB back in when the GTS arrived. "Resale red."

    Red (Rosso Imola) was also the launch color of the GTB. Blue (Blu Corsa) was the launch color of the GTS. This is likely impacting the red and blue numbers as well.
