Need some feedback. I am probably running this guy who picked up a TR512. What does this Ferrari do in numbers? Is it fast?

I don't know any numbers on it, but I have always liked that body style. That being said.... I think like most prancing horses, it probably has a small cubic inch engine, that needs to spin 8,000RPM to make it's power. Remember, our cars out quarter mile, out skid pad, & out top end almost every car ever made. You should have no problem, unless you get "out-driven".

The Ferrari 512TR was one of the quickest and fastest TestaRossas built (1991-1996 For $196K).
It weighs about the same as a Viper GTS, and has 428HP/370TQ. The 4.9L V12 engine revs high, but the peak power is high as well.

The best times were 4.6 to 60MPH, and 12.9 @112MPH in the 1/4 mile.
So it's about as quick as a stock SVT Cobra Mustang. :cool:

The 512TR was built more for roadracing and top speed, which was 196MPH! :eek:
But like most Ferraris, they are generally factory stock or sometimes have a Tubi exhaust, so there won't likely be any big surprises.

They certainly aren't slow cars, but you should be able to easily walk away from one from either a standing start or a roll. :laugh:

Make sure its not a turboed or sc. I read a mag where the guy that made the game doom had one with twin turbos and like 1300 hp.


good luck

I think the guy that made the game doom had an F50, but either way it'd be hella fast

The 512TR is the quickest TR available other than the 512M. It will be quicker from a roll than its 1/4 mile times indicate. That said, i doubt youll have a problem, i beat one pretty badly in my Countach.
