I have both a 2015 GT3 and a 2014 458 Spider. I love both cars in totally different ways. If you can, I would recommend the Spider. The sound the car makes is amazing.

Both cars make it difficult to keep your license!

I thought about the Spider...didn't like the fact I couldn't see the beautiful motor under the hood like a coupe. It must be fun having your hair blow back in the wind with enhanced exhaust note though...

Congrats on your 458!

I just sold my '11 gt3rs and bought a 458 coupe. Originally I had planned to trade into a 991 gt3 but the 458 wasnt a huge stretch considering the current market values for mezger GT cars. Anyway, like you, I couldn't be happier with my decision. I don't really care about the whole "last manual, race engine, resale value etc" stuff. All I know is that it will be really hard for me to go back to a Pcar now.

Fiat Speciale rarer than hen's teeth, even more so than VW RS.

Only one on Cars.com at the moment (http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...3232/overview/) and I can't ever recall seeing more than two at once.

Hard to see values going down much if at all as potentially last limited-edition, naturally aspirate, mid-engine of it's kind.

Thank you. :-) The color is called Grigio Ferro. It is a Ferrari historic color. It shows really well in either high or low light conditions, which was one of the reasons I chose it. Was a bit of a gamble as I wasn't able to see on in person before buying the car... But the gamble fortunately paid off...
