    I have finally decided to trade in my 360 for a California. The following is my list of options....I have only a few days left to change anything:

    silverstone ext.
    Cuoio int.
    Black stitching on seats
    black stitched headrests
    Shields
    20" diamond wheels
    yellow calipers
    carbon fiber rear license plate holder
    yellow tach.
    full electric seats
    ipod conn.
    front park sensors
    rear park camera
    inner electro mirror + HL

    There were lots more options I wanted but trying to be budget conscious, my 360 has fewer options than this car will have.

    Carbon fiber steering wheel with LED lights.

    Diamond seats to go with the diamond wheels.

    Magnaride?

    Cruise control?

    you have no need for the parking camera its garbage, The led Lights are nice if you plan to drive it harder so you can focus more on driving and the road and not being buried in the tach

    Agree that the parking camera is low quality.....and i still find it useful both in backing into my garage and in general.

    The parking camera was a must have option according to the wife.

    The led lights on the wheel were a real letdown. I race cars as a hobby and was a bit underwhelmed with the lights operation. Was hoping for some green some yellow then some red then all flashing at the shift point. I think they are all just red and dont flash at the rpm limit? I have a system in my track car which is much more useful. Maybe im a bit biased here though.

    I have not heard many positive comments on the magnaride, elected not too.

    The diamond on the seats doors and rear seats I had to eliminate due to budget.

    From your experience I would definitely say skip out on the LED's. I have spoken many times with my Rep about magna ride and the purpose is for an easier ride for the new ferrari customers. What is really confusing me is why are you trading a 360 for a Cali? You track and like to drive your cars aggressively I would assume. I would much rather bump up to a nice used 430 coupe in your situation. I probably have around 1,000-1,500 miles in many different driving situations with Cali's and I much prefer the 430 coupe still.

    I never tracked the 360...just drove it around. I never felt comfy tracking such an expensive car...its much more fun to track a 15000 car I am willing to throw away into a wall some day. Already tagged the wall at sear point once during a rain race. I couldnt see myself pushing the Ferrari as hard as I push the honda. The Cali will be more fun for my daughters and I to cruise around in.

    you should add the stitched cavallinos.... relatively inexpensive compared to the other major options. But will add a major difference to the interior.

    Also if you go cuoio, I strongly recommend adding
    1) colored central tunnel
    2) colored armrest

    so that the interior will look flushed and nicer.
