this is my personal favorite. i got ride in a testarossa twice, it was the beautiful red, the first time i got to ride in it was when i was 8 years old, a older couple at the church i went to had it, after that first cruise around in it i was in love with it, 5 years later he calls me up and asks me if i want to go for another cruise in it, finally after years of nagging him for another ride i finally got too, he sold it a few months later, , but still to this day if i ever get myself settled in, im gonna buy a Testerossa.

So, then, how do you like the 512? Looks are almost identical but it has a total performance edge.

:flamer: :badass: :monkeypis: :badass: :monkeypis: Gah! Gotta go with the 550 on this one. More modern and more quality... BTW: Enzo, you live in Eugene Oregon? My aunt lives in Warren and has a house in Sun River. How far are you from those places? :badass: :monkeypis: :badass: :monkeypis: :flamer:

Whoa, lotsa peeing people there...

I know what it's like, it's VERY hard to like any Ferrari after going for a ride in one particular type, but personally prefer the 512TR (not 512M) over the Testarossa. It's not so...80's. Almost the same outside except for a better front air dam, basically. Main selling point for me is the re-done interior. The interior of the old Testarossa's looks cheap with the hard materials and boxy styling. 512TR interior is way better (IMO). And since you spend 95% of your time inside a car in the cockpit, you might as well like it (other 5% in the trunk). Azzuro Blue over tan 512TR for me, please....

5% in the trunk? Maybe under the hood, but I don't really plan on being in my trunk for too long.

yeah, it sure is. If you're ever in the area let me know and I'll take you to dinner, or do something exciting here in Eugene. We can go test drive some cars, maybe!

I remember my first and so far only ride in a Ferrari. It was my uncles 308. It was stolen a long time ago though, so I haven't riden (or driven) in one yet ever since

I will never forget my ride in that car.

I have a special place in my heart for the testarossa. It was my childhood favorite. I had a whole bunch of diecast models of that car. Damn, I loved it! Still do! Especially when my girlfriend's dad gave me a ride in his one time. It was the pinnacle of my whole entire life. :smoker2:
