This is off topic but it does pertain to Testarossas. The Testarossa Winery will open their wine tasting room starting this weekend and it will be open daily from 11:00am til 5:00pm. They make some great reds. I plan to stop by on my next trip to San Jose.

William H., I wish you can give me a ride in your challenge (only if you have navi. seat) Happy b-day. You don't look in 40's! Bruce, Happy B-day, old chap! (I just turned 41 last month) Jim, you are close to many people, right. Now you know Bruce & my B-day, too! Sorry to badge in TR thread for these posts. BUT I do like TR, and hoping to buy TR (or Boxer) for my next F-car. | |||

Warren, thanks for the compliment. The Potenza S0-2s are great and stick well in corners. But, they have been on the car since 2000 and the rears are quite worn out, so I recently changed them over to Kumho Ecsta MX. I must say the Kumho tires are performing quite well. Hell of a bang for the buck these Kumhos. | |||

Yoshi, My great grandfather founded Hubbell Inc in 1888 & I'm a Large shareholder As for race parts for the Ferrari 512TR. If you want to keep it streetable you can upgrade to F50 brakes, tubi, K&N air filters, racing seats, harnesses, I'm a bit wary of the chips. The race car uses a Motec system which many other race cars use as well. It has the same F50 brakes as my road car but with more aggressive pads | |||

William H. How do you get the sponsorship of Hubbell! I buy their electrical parts every month, and they used to invite me for golf tournament in 90's. (through distributors) Maybe I can get one from Hubbell, too. Wait, is you last name H stands for Hubbell? Are you the owner? I still have some Hubbell sales promo from golf tournament, and I really like their logo! Cool looking TRs. | |||

Bruce and Glen, Yellow TR's are my favorites and yours are absolutely stunning. Warren, thanks for compliments, I have been hard press to find another 512TR with the same "Color Code" as mine. So yes, it is a "rare" color for the 512TR. I have heard rumors that there is only one other one in the states. | |||

just your average TR interior. I think she has gobbled up nearly $150k by now. Suspension upgrades are coming in the form of Penske shocks & customs springs & sway bars. Eventually I'll have different springs & sway bars for @ track

With all that weight gone, were the standard Ferrari parts good enough? I also like the coordinated racing suit ... I gotta do that once I have my Stradale.
