Just saw your car at the dealer in La Jolla! WoW!
Hi Nberry, I live one block away from your La Jolla dealer. I saw your car being pulled around the back of the dealer around 3:40 this afternoon. All I can say is WoW! Totally amazing. I'm counting the years until I can upgrade my 987S to that 
What time are you picking it up? Maybe I will stop by and introduce myself.

Re: Steering wheel looks great.....
Congrats Nick ! Love it. What an exciting time it must be for you. I remember the first week my car was delivered when I wasn't driving it and taking people for rides I was constantly in the garage ooogaling all over it. Even the way it still smells now in my garage is the best smell in the world. Way to go !

The first 2006 in San Diego. Yellow really does enhance the lines of the car. I am happy with the polished wheels and the interior is amazing.

I will do better once they clean it up.

It was difficult to get the interior with the top up.

Though most would not notice clearly the caliper looks small for the wheel.

Notice how the warning stickers are affixed.

It really does look good with yellow.
Done.
Really love the car. The only thing that bothers me (beside the brakes is the jacked up stance. There's way too much air around the tires in the wheel wells. You could fit a baseball in there. The coupe is lower but still misses the CS's track car appearance. Guess the pluses of having the taller springs outweight the negatives, giving it's a convertible the softer ride is somewhat necessary but man would the Spider look insane dropped a couple of inches...You done good though Nick, really love the interior especially the steering wheel. Hope you don't mind when I copy you with red... I know it might be far from your mind right now but have you started thinking about the next move yet ? The 430CS or wait until the next model ?

If they offer a CS I probably will get one. I would have to think about it because the 360 CS was a bit rough to suit my taste. I drove Ben's alot and he even indicated that after awhile the car worn a little thin.
You mean to say it was less comfortable than his CGT?

No, it was not less comfortable.The CGT was smaller, more of a jarring ride and difficult to drive. Ben's main complaint with the CS was the loud exhaust over a long period of time.

Good luck all around.
As for the exhaust guess it all depends on what you like. The Modena's exhaust just doesn't do it for me. The level doesn't fit a Ferrari when SL's are sounding more aggressive. IMO one of the best parts about a CS IS the exhaust. For me the exhaust would be a little loud say I was driving the car down to Florida often or across country but for the weekend runs that I go on etc. ,,, just a little louder would be perfect. Any quieter and I couldn't hear my car amoungst the guys I get together with but mostly for the reason that it's a FERRARI! and they sound better imo louder than stock. For my tastes I want my Ferrari hitting level 8 to 10 all around. The further away from my everyday whips the better, afterall why else do you buy a Ferrari. Most likey I will go with a Capristo for my 430. It just makes things that much more alive and fun.
All the best again on your new ride. Use it in good health !
