    CS are hot. In the place i am right now i wouldn't do it, mainly because a track day worrier is not as much use to me as a more multi purpose car. No doubt a CS would be a step up in alot of ways, but its no 355 :D

    That's true and I just watched a segment of the CS on Top Gear on Youtube and it doesn't have electric windows? Also, is it a good car to drive around? I love my 355 but the CS is just incredible in styling and performance. Also my 355 needs a clutch and a engine out service. So thats partionally the reason. And I have no interest in a normal 360. I don't care for it at all. The CS is nicest Ferrari since the 355, IMO. I am in love with my 355 and would struggle to sell it because I love it so much but maybe down the road I'd consider trading in my 355 and maybe SL55 for a CS... but not for a while.

    I think you summed that up very well, normal 360's are not to my taste also, but the CS is a beast. I would just do the Major service on the 355 and enjoy it.

    I like the part when you mentioned trading the 355 AND SL55, the CS would need to be a car you are very passionate about to justify removing the 355 and the SL from your stable.

    Yes and I know the CS is more of a racing car. I think if I get a CS it will be when I have my 355 in the garage also. :). I can't give her up.

    Simply, no. I would not trade my 355 for a CS. However, if I were ever to buy another modern Ferrari, it would be a CS. That is why I am saving for one. :)

    Wow, I didn't expect that from you Robbie. But the CS is so beautiful and yet the 355 is just so beautiful.

    +1 A CS is worth quite a bit more than my 355.

    The 360 looks, simply don't offset the performance difference for me. I have been thinking of adding a 550 to the stable, but I still won't get rid of the 355.
