If your going with red don't get all black interior. On resale the car will not sell as well as a tan interior.
You need the Scuderia badges on the side. The race sport seats look good but here again it may impact resale because they are not power and some buyers want to raise the seat while driving. However,I would get the cabin full leather.
I do not believe you will need sport exhaust because the 430 has a terrific stock sound. I believe an upgraded stero is a waste of money.

black interior and sport seat on a Ferrari may impact resale... wow nick, you even spec out your car according to the next owner's preferences, how nice and thoughtful of you I'm a little bit less altruistic in that respect, I choose according to what I like on my car

For god sakes people. You are about to purchase an unbelievably/incredible toy that only VERY few people can seriously contemplate of ever owning and I'm sure this toy will make you smile all the way.... Forget about resale value and equip your toy to your taste. 100%

Carlos, you really don't get it, man. Why would you need sport seats in a sports car, when the resale value is lower? I mean, who the hell cares about the way the seats are holding you in those curves, if the resale value is lower? After all, you buy the car to have the bigger [censored] at the local country club, not to have fun driving it..

I have just made MY choise today for my 430, and really I was NOT thinking about anyone else regards the future, like Carlos said, 100% the hart, even if the resale price would be much, much, much lower, if you can afford a F, you can take the loss, or can't you ?? ......... I took the sportseats, (size M), even the Challenge rims.
It's gonna be MY car, and if I be happy with it, will be the most important to me !!
I will take delivery end dec, begin jan ..... and will be the first owner in Belgium

The sport seat do represent a serious issue not only for resale but comfort as well.
I have decided my color combo as well as ordering sport seats. I am willing to ignore the lesser resale value and comfort.

Nick,
Get a grip on yourself!
If you carry on down that path you could find yourself craving for a real sportscar, and buying a 997.

A question inmediately comes to mind. Why do YOU need or insist on a mid-engine for youself? a rear-engined GT2 or even GT3 is too limiting on your extreme driving skills so much because they are not mid-egined? are YOU able to extract the mid-engined placement advantages in extreme limits over a GT2's limits?
Personally, I don't think you would even tell much difference were the engine is if you didn't read it in the manual beforehand And don't forget it has to be automatic as well, you wouldn't want to put too much driver factor into the equation of driving that mid-engine TT Porsche around San Diego

ztacir,
Don't need the following
Bluetooth Mobile Technique:do not talk while in your Ferrari. There's better thing to do while in the car :driving.
- Hifi Sound with Subwoofer in the back; why would you wanna listen to your CD when the engine makes the best noise?
- Cd-Changer; same reason.

Nick, just wonder what is the latest 911 you owned and/or drove?

I kept the extra sound system and cd changer since I will always have the option tu turn it off when I wanna listen to the engine noise.
That's also my idea about it !
One more thing.My racing seats are size large and I am a pretty big guy(186cm tall).Should I have gone with medium?
No, I'm 172cm and large was also good (sitting in the stradale), but medium would be a little bit better for me.
but normally large will suit you, it only differs 1cm
