About to spec out a 458 - Opinions??

As usual, I can't make up my mind. I need to complete my build sheet on Tues. I have two different builds I'm considering.

1) Scuderia Red with Cuoio Brown as the primary and Nero as the secondary. Racing Seats, Shields, Door Sills, Carbon Steering Wheel, Carbon Dash and a few other goodies. I also adjusted a few of the trim pieces to tie in the Brown and Black with the dash. I skipped the NAV, Lift System and Hi Fi.

2) Yellow with Racing seats, shields, all Nero interior, with Yellow stitching, Carbon Steering Wheel, Carbon, Dash, Carbon Center Console and Carbon door panels. Once again I skipped NAV, lift and premium hi-fi.

3) Added a 3rd option. Rosso with Nero interior, rosso stitching, rosso belts, full CF package and Rosso rear shelf

I'm really torn. Both my current Ferrari's are RED. One Rosso Red and one Scuderia Red. Half of me says stay with red and go with the unique two tone interior. It would be a killer color combo with good resale. The other half says classic Yellow with Nero would look nice and clean. But yellow cars seem to be sitting on dealer lots everywhere. I do need to consider resale a little bit. I flip cars fairly fast.

Or I can skip it all together and just buy the 08 Scuderia sitting at my dealer. That car makes me drool everytime I get within 10 feet of it.


Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Your wish list says it all... But if you do decide to go with the 458, get the red. That interior would be awesome

Don't forget the "handy fire extinguisher!"

It is SO much better than the plain old fire extinguisher.

I've taken all of your advice into account and I'm back to my original choice.

Giallo Modena Yellow
Racing Seats
Nero Interior with Yellow Stitching
Full Carbon Package
Shields
Sport Sills
Fire Extinguisher
Yellow Tach
Yellow Calipers
Electrochromatic Mirrors
Darker Wheels

Maybe NAV and IPod
Maybe Rear View Camera

I would think he is going to get it directly from the factory.

Am I wrong??

I don't believe they are taking orders yet, besides when ever I order a new Ferrari which I've done 4 times now I do the ordering at my dealer. Yellow Ferrari's never sell as well as red, if flipping cars is something you do often yellow is a bad idea. You may be able to sell it for the same price as a red one but it will take you longer.
