    ...they're addicting, expensive, and highly illegal at times! But, I can't get enough of them!

    Roberto was kind enough to set me up with my next fix. I absolutely *love* my Titanium 360 Modena F1, but it's going back to the showroom in November. It's making room for:

    360 Spider, 6 speed (last chance for a 6 sp before Ferrari goes to only F1), Rosso Corsa, black interior with red stitching, shields, modular wheels, front and rear challenge grills, Daytona power seats, leather sills (and firewall), and red calipers. Late Nov delivery. :)

    I love the Stradale, but it's too close to the 430 coupe timeframe. While I wasn't willing to trade my coupe for another coupe, a Spider was another story.

    New info for me was that you can now get the Stradale exhaust as an option (I'm sticking with my Capristo), and carbon fiber engine bits (basically the Stradale airbox covers, plenum access cover, AND slick new hatch vent carbon fiber replacements). The hatch vents looked way cool (saw on another Spider in the basement). Also noticed the Stradale heat shield pieces added in the engine compartment (foil on hatch, and updated side heat shields).

    This car should last me until the 430 gets settled down in a couple of years (I hope - on both counts!)

    Congrats, Tim!

    Sounds like they finally learned their lesson on heat management in the engine compartment. You know you gotta have the CS exhaust. :)

    Last chance for a manual shifter? Might be harsh for strict traditionalists but it seems automakers are heading that way (ie. BMW's SMG-only M5).

    Well well look at this – congratulations Tim!

    haven’t you been the guy that made fun of me about the # of F cars / per time period I managed to have? - Roberto seems to be the busy guy; he just fixed me up with a 360 CH
