    Technically the Testarossa engine is 180 degree V-12.
    Why? Because it uses the crankshaft from a V-12 with the cylinders laid flat. The throws on the V-12 crank are every 90 degrees IIRC.
    When discussing the engine I still call it a "flat-12" because it is.

    A true Boxer engine (like Porsche, Subaru etc...) also has the flat cylinder arrangement but uses a "flat" crankshaft; the throws are 180 degrees apart.

    Yup, know the yellow tr, he used to do constant burnouts with it, he finally sold it , it had well over 200 on it....from ten feet away, you would have never thought it had that kind of mileage.

    I'd sell them and put the factory wheels back on. What are Scud wheels worth used? $4k-$5k? I dunno but I know they are not cheap.
