Thread: Modified Testarossa

70K sounds like a complete motor/gearbox rebuild.
Acquaintance has a one…he was forced to send the gearbox back to US for rebuilding. Rebuild + shipping both ways is 1/3-1/2 the price of a rebuild in Tokyo.

My 86 Testarossa was the biggest POS I ever owned, but the 512TR is a much better car..

Ouch. There was one running around Okinawa when I lived there. He'd show up to the drag races every now and again. Must of been difficult having maintenance done in Oki.

Ive not driven this one so can't comment on how it drives, my boss doesnt use it very much though.
Should do really as it makes everyone smile when they see / hear it.
Has an Enzo he never uses either! I would be using it all summer.

Every testarossa drives like a truck below 60mph and the steering starts to become light after 150. Although, I personally believe the 512M is the best edition of the testarossa Ferrari produced.
