Based on seeing the cars in person over the last few days in SB, I think you will be thrilled. I don't think I saw a GT silver car-a little surprised as this is the 'official' P color. Are you paying sticker or did they give you a little bit of a break, for the 50K or so in options?

I got ZERO discount despite 3 new cars in 3 years from same dealership. Consider yourself fortunate.

I was going to get a 3K discount on a 6 spd tt which I was speccing at about 143K I think, before I decided to cancel the order and see what the new cars looked like.

is the Sports Exhaust really worth it or should one go for aftermarket.
I am curious to know. I am thinking to keep everything OEM minus the wheels for my car. Just the fit and finish is 10x better IMHO.

OEM all the way - I know aftermarkets might sound better and give better value but its just so nice to have it from the factory.

^This. OEM warranty and the ability to turn off (not everyone's cup of tea but some consider this a nice feature to have).

Completely agree. I was invited by Ferrari to test drive the California when it came out and was not impressed at all from a driving dynamics perspective. I drove an E90 M3 at the time and thought it was much faster, more agile, better handling, and more connected driver-to-car.

It was a real bummer for me as Ferrari is definitely my aspirational goal to own and that was my first experience driving one. I know I would never want a California and that I'm not the target demographic for it, but was still disappointing. Will have to keep saving my penny's for a 458. ha ha.

Am I crazy for wanting to remove the sunroof. I love sunroofs. Use mine in my CTT all the time. Something about the way it looks on the 991 seems to make me think the lines are broken up some.

If you love and use sunroofs, get it, a no brainer. Yes,you are crazy for wanting to remove it. The looks are quite ok.

agreed.
if it continues to be a problem then just keep it closed.
the next buyer will have fun with it, where is the problem?

Okay...I honestly feel the same way. Just wondering what others think. Besides, the new sunroofs sort of give the car a Targa feel. I am gonna love this car. Keep it until the Turbo's are announced and likely upgrade.
