I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said about this car -- other than (a) I absolutely love it, and (b) in my opinion, hands down its the best driving modern Ferrari. Mine is Grigio Ferro, a special option historic color.
I have been a long time Porsche guy only more recently into Ferrari. I have to say the Speciale is the most engaging car I've owned since my 996 gt3. With a proper alignment it was the most confidence inspiring car I've ever driven on track or the street (was running 2:21's at cota on street tires). All that said, I took my 72 ST clone out at cota this spring and rediscovered my love of driving a rear engine car on track.... So off goes the orange speciale and I'm anxiously awaiting my .2 gt3's arrival, hopefully November now.

Ferrari Austin was amazing to me when I bought my 488 last month. They just recently cleaned house over there and the new crew is awesome. I used Alex as my sales contact, he was excellent and still follows up with me.
Ferrari Austin is also opening up a new huge dealership in the next week or two that will blow you away. I'd for sure give them a shot at winning your business as I know they will work hard to make you happy.
Porsche Austin has never impressed me. I know they recently cleaned house as well, but I have such a bad taste from my previous treatment. I get all my Porsches from Park Place in Dallas, as they are hands down the best dealership I've had the pleasure of buying from.
I know Schrews personally and he has a different opinion on Porsche Austin I think, but I'll let him speak for himself.
How robust are they? I've heard the scud didn't love being driven hard / tracked.
300k msrp so it's expensive but well built swap the ceramics to steel if your going all out suggest a 360 or 430 challenge saves your melon and can be had at 100k.

thanks for the info, I may have one of you all put me in contact with someone there at ferrari.
I've used several texas porsche dealers, and Austin was the worst, so I echo your comments. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me.
