Red, no contest. Black hides the beautiful lines.

Stevely, you have a point, but does the red shout out to much attention? Do you get harassed when you drive the car?

Yes, red may get slightly more attention than black. But you're buying a Ferrari, not a Honda, so you aren't going to be able to hide the loud exhaust and low wide stance. Also, who cares. You're buying an ostentatious vehicle so you might as well get whatever color pleases you the most, instead of trying to hide in shame. You're buying a $100k+ car and there's no way to hide that.

Yes, people stare on occasion, but in Socal, it's not that impressive to people where 458's, gallardo's, and bentley's are a plenty. I have only had 3 people take pictures of my car in the last 6 months.

Get the red. The black piping on the tan would give it some pop also.

I am a huge fan of just piping or stitching that can transform an interior from ho-hum to wooowwwww!

My Quattroporte has navy blue piping with cuoiu.
My Coupe has silver stitching with navy blue.
My Z06 has Sienna (dark orange) stitching with black/sienna.

I agree on the interior stitching...it really makes the inside more stunning, and the contrast piping is a must.

The Scuderia wheels for me were going to be a mod anyhow so the fact the car came with it is a huge plus. They are the grey ones....
