    Went on a spirited drive this weekend in SF; a friend filmed with gopro and i was suprised how well the testarossa did...
    I could at times keep up with the 458 but boy is this thing glued to the road;)
    Lots of fun!

    Trying to watch the video but even with my super fast connection the streaming is deathly slow - perhaps upload to You Tube?

    Very nice :) I couldn't help but notice that road (other side) drops off to never never land - I wonder how many cars are down there? :D

    No idea lol it was early in the morning to avoid the traffic .
    I honestly think that with real brakes i could have kept up better but the TR brakes were petrifying me lol

    looks fun!! What kind of car is that yellow car that is filming your car? Sounds like a old American V8. Old 'Vette perhaps?

    Thats bc it was filmed from the vette.
    The 458 is. 30 years younger though. The problem was to keep up bc of its grip; the 458 glues to the road and had this crazy electronic help too but for a 30year old car the testarossa did great.
    I am pretty sure i had even more fun than him fighting my car and changing gears...
    Still if i were to buy a new ferrari would be a 458

    nice video, but I think you not habe known this road very well because you use the brakes too much as I see the stoplights

    True but also the testarossa breaks are weak and terrible

    How is the TR compared today a 360? I know it's a different car but just wondering some detail?

    The TR pushes more because it has more torque; it doesnt break well as mentioned; it doesn't handle as sharply but and u reach its limits faster, the back will come out if u are puahing too much and u will not get it back bc it has NO help.
    That being said it is more analogue, with the right exhaust sounds better, and bc it is so low and so unassisted it scares the crap out of me in a good way lol

    U have a great car and are doing a fantastic work on it! I command u a lot.
    If the TR is your dream you will get one some day.
    I am hoping to have a 599 next that i would drive more because parts on a TR are not easily accessible that is the problem...;)
