    Has anyone else seen this new episode where Jerry drives a 512 TR? I have to say the crew did a marvelous job of filming this car, it looks gorgeous. Despite the fact Jerry calls it 'a ping pong table on four wheels' you can tell he really enjoyed driving it. These cars have such a presence on the road and has aged very well in my opinion. The grey car they chose for the episode is a really fine example as well. Well done guys!

    Who was the featured comedian? Seinfeld tries to pair the car with the comic. Jim Carrey was a Countach so who's the rival to him?

    I've seen it multiple times now! I thought Jerry looked like he really enjoyed driving it, as well. He has a look on his face and focus on driving that he doesn't seem to have with most cars on the show. Jerry quotes the top speed as 180mph, but I thought the Testarossa did about 180mph and the 512 TR about 190mph. Car looked great.

    Hasan Minhaj was the comedian. He chose the 512 TR because Hasan is a huge fan of Michael Jordan and they reference the picture of MJ getting out of his black 512 TR with license plate "M AIR J".

    I agree, Jerry usually looks a little bored with whatever he's driving but in this episode he's really engaged with the car.
    My 1992 Ferrari 512 TR manual list a Top Speed of 192 mph.

    Maybe he heard a noise and was worried about the diff ..... or started to smell something and worried about the fuse box.

    Tops i did was 160mph on the speedo and it was very scary; felt like any bump in the road would potentially kill me;)
    By modern standards these cars are amazing highway cruiser still and pretty darn good in bents ar moderate speed but at the limit...scary as hell;)

    The owner of this 512TR is an F-Chatter and perhaps he will chime in with his experiences. I drove the car last year and it is an excellent example owned by a very knowledgeable enthusiast. Great to see it part of the show.

    The comedian is an idiot. He literally did not know how a manual transmission worked. Jerry's face was exactly the face I'd make at a guy in my Testarossa asking the same question.

    Watched the episode. I think that guest was playing dumb either out of nervousness or just to be cute.

    Car showed very great and represented the TR community well.

    Thanks Rob, this was fun and it was terrific to have the opportunity to do this.
    We put alot of work in to make sure it was presented well and I must say the production company did a fantastic job and looking at the comments above it paid off. Thanks to all for the positive comments.

    I think the comedian probably hasn’t seen a dial telephone either
