nice car

This is the first thread for the MIGHTY TESTAROSSA??
C'mon, this was Ferrari's flagship FOREVER!!
A flat-12, mounted in the middle, 400+hp in final trim. Awesome styling, am I the only one who cares??
This car is awesome (A countachis better), but, I mean, this is insulting, INSULTING, to Ferrari.
Here are some pics, you dirty SOB's.






And to think no one posted here before. Sigh.

back up off me...

I just found this whole automotiveforums.com thing, the testarossa is my dream car, i want one with a little more power so i found out about the 512TR, oh man that is one sexy car. the countache is just plain gaudy, i wouldn't even think for a nanosecond about choosing between a 512 and a countache. there is a perfect example of my dream car, red 512TR with tan interior at www.newportautosport.com and turn up your speakers 'cause its cool. anyways i hope this makes you happy. and call me crazy but i like the 512TR more than the 355 and almost more than the 360........i said almost.

The testarossa is better looking than a Countach, but slower.
Liking that big flat 12 more than a 355 or 360 isnt bad, its replacement is the 550 Maranello.

I was just a little peeved, cuz we have Pug 206 discussions but I was the first with the Testarossa.

once again...

Chris, is there anything you don't know? That would be logical for the 550 to be the testarossa's replacement, I just never thought of it like that. i guess the 355 replaced the 348. now it all adds up. but still you could mod up a testarossa and beat a countache, but the coutache's uglyness wouldn't make up for its speed.

People who live and interact with me in real life ask that. I learn new stuff all the time. But my old-car knowledge is (to me, anyway) sadly lacking.
SOme people like the COuntach, but to me, it seems too cluttered. The testarossa oozes class and beauty.

When I first (several years ago) heard 288, I thought baby Ferrari. Now, they are one of my favorites! Please get a picture aswell.

The 288 GTO turned into the Evoluzione (5 made) which turned into the F40. The 288 is better than a 512TR. Really nice car (if not as sexy as the 512)

did you see girls anywhere in my post?? hehehe.

Yes, I meant with beatiful girls, with tight buts and big racks, then pack 4 of them and 2 of use into a 512 convertible and go driving of to the really large cabin by the lake. OK, maybe you wont come.
