Since I am not too fond of the new SRT-10 coupe...I think I am going to buy

[Qualitywires.com]

Since I grew up in the 80's I'm stuck on some cars in that era. It may not have the power but I love it anyways.

I highly doubt I will be buying any late model Viper out there in a few years. I think what I will focus on is the Ferrari Testarossa. I've always loved that car and the wide stance it has. Since I am pretty good with cars and mechanically inclined and not afraid to tackle things I may just go with a purchase in about 2-3 years. Obvioulsy I will keep my silver bullet. Anyone have hay idea if you think the Testarossa price will drop any more? Right now I think they are in the range of $60-70K.

That would sure be a beauty for nice convertible days. I agree with you on the SRT-10 coupe.

I'm pretty sure the price is going to drop drastically, once they find out your part of the Ferrari Family...

(Thats for the Janni post.. u **** !)

that one is selling for $62k. I have to wait til my home is built before I start spending money...plus my wife is going to be getting an actuary job pretty soon! Yippeee! I'm not that smart, but they make some good dough!

LOL! Now I never mentioned any names bozo! You are just paraniod!

 

[ERDOC]

62K for the pictured car? Who did the conversion? If you are looking in that price range, I would look at a 355 in 2-3 years. Much better performance and less headaches. If you are stuck on the Miami Vice theme and really need those sills or gills on the doors I would go with a 348 spider. They sound very nice especially with a Tubi exhaust at WOT.

Erdoc, it's just the wideness of the car and stuff I like. I actually hate miami vice.

Jon, how about we do an 80's flash back together...since you are shorter than me, we can play Fantasy Isalnd and I can be the taller guy with the white suit and you can be the small guy that points at da planes!

lol, I think we all know who looks like "tatoo", its "yoo." Matter of fact, I'd say your a slightly shorter version.

naw..jon..you're the shorter than me so you can be him. We know you're no Rocky...more like Pebbles if you ask me. But anyways short guy...love what God gave ya!

 

[ERDOC]

I've got a friend who currently owns a 996 turbo and a Murcielago and he is thinking of the dumping Murc for a 348. He had that car in med school and still thinks it can out handle the 360 he had before the Murc. I guess I can see the Murcielago thing.... it is a ***** to drive due to lack of visibilty. It's hard to enjoy driving a car if you are constantly worried about hitting someone while changing lanes.

AB, stop suckin on those exhaust pipes you short bastard, its really screwing up that little gerbal in your head. Your just about tall enough to look into yours when your standing on your tippy toes, so stop trying to displace the reality, that your short, on to me.

And if loving what god gave you, in this case, an annoying little asian man who is *** on me, I'm afaid I will have to pass.

umm....huh?...uh...okAY.


back on topic...erdoc..I know many cars can whip this testarossa, but it's something about it that makes me want to get it. I never drove or got to get in a Lambo, but I bet it is something else...he wants to trade it in for a 348?

Nice cars, but slow by todays standards. A 1998 LS1 Camaro would eat it's lunch to atleast 130mph.

 

[BlueGTS]

ab, have you driven or been in a Testarossa? If so you know what you are getting into. If not, they are very, very dated in the interior. I was a big Testarossa fan until I got a ride in one. It was very slow and really crude inside. Not to mention I pulled 3 car lengths in just 3rd gear when my car was stock.

 

[ERDOC]

Yeah, go figure.... I think he wanted something more dynamic in handling. I have driven a Murcielago and it just feels BIG even though the dimensions aren't that huge. It's no a car you can easily toss around. I certainly wouldn't trade it for a 348 but.... to each his own. In reality I think he's just going to add a 348 instead of replacing the Lambo. The sound of a Ferrari 12 is very pleasing to the ears.

Yep..I have...yes it's crude inside...but it would not be for racing or anything like that..just cruising.

Uh yeah, but last time I checked, a v8 (348) doesnt make that sound.. DUH !

BTW You dont have that sound either MR. Spider (v8)

But damn if that car doesnt look sharp.

PS. Can I take it out sometime ? Seems a shame to let it just sit. :-D

I like how the Testarossa looks a lot more than the new Viper coupe. As for performance, it is not nearly as fast as the viper, but it's not exactly slow. 5.3 sec 0-60 mph and 180 mph top speed are still pretty good.

If you really want the ultimate Testarossa though ,get a 512TR.

Re: Since I am not too fond of the new SRT-10 coupe...I think I am going to

What a great car to Cruise around in!
Just make sure you buy one with all the maintance records and up to date!

Re: Since I am not too fond of the new SRT-10 coupe...I think I am going to

ab, your crazy. That car looks so old and dated,even more wedge shaped than a vette. The new couple BLOWS it away in every catagory. If you buy that pos, in 2 weeks you'll be kicking your own ass.

Gerald,

One choice is a flat 12 boxer-engined Ferrari, the other is a Dodge with no soul.

Re: Since I am not too fond of the new SRT-10 coupe...I think I am going to

It kind of ruined Testarossa's for me when I saw the local crack dealer/**** guy driving one for the last 6 months.......
yes it is a real one, not a kit.

Uh No... You are right, mine doesn't make that sound. In fact I've been told it sounds like a jet ski , albeit a fantastic sounding jet ski

There is NO DOUBT any Viper is better than a Testarossa IMO. But that Ferrari is one that sticks out from most others when thinking back to my early teenage years

Also, the New Coupe will cost $25k more than that. Worth every penny in comparision though, but still alot more!

I think it's clear which wins in the styling department.
