What other cars would you have in your stable?
If you manage to have the M5, the 599 and the CGT you were talking about, well then you would be a winner at life.

I will say 599, 430 spider will be too simliar to your 360 which is already 2nd one for you. Try somthing different! But the one will need to have is CGT

If your still getting the Carrera GT which i know you were in the market for i would suggest a 599 GTB. Best of both worlds, a Nice front engine GT car and then a beautiful mid engined supercar

Is this to add to your current collection, or just a choice between the two?

I vote F430. IMO the 599 is ugly as sin, no matter how many cool toys and gadgets it has.

If it was me it would be the F430 Spyder. Don't like the looks of the 599. Not a knock on the class of cars, as I would rather have a 575M GTC vs. the 360, just the 599 is so ugly.

I think that the 599 is beautiful and I think will become a classic in years to come. The shape flows like another Ferrari classic the GTO. Always the V8 cars look good when they come out but after several years they look old, that would not happen with the 599.

List on both. Just spoke with my guy who tells me I can keep my deposit on the 430 and he'll let me switch to a 599 if an allocation comes up. Says he has 3 this year and they are, of course, gone. Not sure how many he'll have next year.

list on both, then 430 spider. that's how i see Ferrari though. 430 @ list is safer than putting money in the bank. 599 will be a difference story. not now but time will prove it.
