Your taste in cars is impeccable. Thanks for the great content!

[@Tonsofgas]

Thank u sir

[@Ruben-Mazereeuw]

Only real racecars are coming with a factory lap timer. What a beautiful peace of art it is with the typical 80's pop up headlights and the louvers on the taillights.😎👍

[@Tonsofgas]

Ha- I totally agree

[@stevewaller6577]

It has a flat 12 engine, not a V12, so like Porsche 911 or VW Beatle design, just 12 cylinders and quadravalve (4 valves per head).

[@Tonsofgas]

I’m aware - as stated in the 1st minute

[@jacobjensen408]

This car have a 180 degree V12 because each set of opposing pistons share a crankpin.
In a boxer engine (like my Subaru) each piston have it own individual crank pin.

Why they call it a Boxer Berlinetta I do not know maybe because the 180 degree layout means it can be mounted low in the engine bay like a boxer engine,
The 180 degree makes it a flat engine for sure but it is still a V engine, Berlinetta means coupe at Ferrari.

Said it before but this is the best Testarossa color combo, great buy.

[@Tonsofgas]

Totally agree

[@audioisgood]

FYI, The two digital displays and buttons in the back of the center console are meant to direct airflow, not suspension.

[@Tonsofgas]

Correct

[@TiagoTestarossa]

Your car is very quiet, have u replaced or checked the 4 cats?
I have 2 TR's and both had the catalytic converters clogged up...
The 1st pair of cats disintegrate over time and that blown out material clogs the 2nd pair of cats.
I removed the first set and gutted the 2nd set. clogged cats really rob a ton of power and sound. Both my TR's pulled substantially harder going from clogged to removed.
If you open up the first set to peek inside and they are hollow. That means your 2nd set is clogged.
About 99% of Testarossas out there are driving around on clogged cats, choked with 10% to 20% less HP than the power when they where new, and sounding like a toyota.
The cats and OEM exhaust and 2nd set of cats is around 100lbs. heavy as a boat anchor, removing all 4 cats and installing an aftermarket exhaust is close to 70lbs weight reduction at the rearmost part of the car, which reduces polar moment of inertia / Yaw... made the car noticeably less tail happy.
You can thank the rediculously high early 80's fuel regulations for the crap they had to put in there to pass emissions. Get that junk out there and free that F1-derived TIPO flat 12.

[@Tonsofgas]

I’ll check it out but same as my other TR. maybe I’ll straight pipe it like I did my Diablo

[@normsallitt2753]

Tubi Style exhaust with Fabspeed sport cats 👍

[@audioisgood]

Completely agree here. Gut the pre cats, then hyperflow cats and finish with Tubi. That’s what I am running on my 1991 TR. Those mods transform the car.

[@neonvandal8770]

God, that car is still so beautiful. Loved this since seeing it on Miami Vice back in the day - When that lottery money comes through, thats the only frivolous purchase i'm making! ❤

[@Tonsofgas]
