The FiST is a fantastic car.

It's just not a cool convertible.

 

A car doesn't need to be a convertible 2 be just sayin

actually prefer the Hard Top on the 430, R8 etc....

 

Me too. My, or one of my, favorite cars is a rari' 308 or even 328 GTB which is the hardtop version. I found one awhile back and was planning to buy it drove 6 hours to see, drive and buy it only to find out I couldn't fit Was gonna jump off the G.W.B. on the drive home.

 

One day I’d like to own something with a retractable hard top

 

My friends used to have a SLK with one. I like them but imagine it would be expensive to fix when something breaks on it although you wouldn't have the expensive of replacing the top like you do on a soft top convertible.

 

There's a huge cool factor difference between the FiST and the 356. Car people acknowledge the former, but just about everyone looks at the latter and thinks "cool".

I also agree there most Ferraris aren't very good convertibles. The R8 convertible has really weird proportions, but I'm generally not a fan of the R8 styling and removing the top definitely made it worse. The 355 spyder is kinda goofy, but the targa top is 10/10 all day every day. The 360 and 458 spiders both have the giant humps behind the headrest, which are super awkward. The 430 spider is the best of the bunch. The California isn't a great looking car IMO, but the convertible aspect is good.

 

I also prefer the Hard Top C7 over the Drop Top from behind anyways




Its all a personal preference IMO and you should just the choice you make as far as choosing it for a look you like or prefer

 

I don't. (See my sig.)

 

Thats what I meant RB my comment below the C7


2 each is own so they say as in if I was going to purchase a C7 it would be a Coupe HT

 

Sorry to hear about the tub.
How about a ...
