Congrats on the new ride.

I have owned a half dozen or so F-cars and there is just something about that sound....it's intoxicating. My favorite Ferrari I ever owned was a 2004 Challenge Stradle. Have yet to own a Scud but will one day. My current Sunday cruiser is a manual 360 Spyder. Grigio (grey) with dark blue leather and blue top. Btw, I drove a 458 last week and WOW!!!! That is all I have to say about that.

rlips....I did exactly what you are considering went with a dedicated track car and love it. My only problem is between work and multiple kids I am just not using it enough to justify a non street track car but it is absolutely incredible.

this is the dealkiller for me!

I have an '11 GT3RS and had an 07 F430. (I just traded it for a 599) If you are going to have a Ferrari out of warranty you have to be OK with a 10K plus repair bill. It doesn't happen that often with a F430 but it can if you are unlucky.
