Personal best for speed in reverse is approximately 55 mph. Get's a little wobbly but keep the hammer down and it gets easier. Have not yet had the balls to do a hammer-head snap back and then drop into a forward gear. May need the F1 to hit it into 2nd to avoid read line on the snap back, something to try with the mother in law in the car.

My most recent backing up was from a 1994 348 TB challenge to an 1989 328 GTB. I had planned the move for a long time and have no regrets. The only thing I miss about the 348 is the motor and challenge exhaust. When I think of Ferraris, I don't think new is necessarily better. Each model has a distinctive flavor and it's a great thing to have so many flavors to try!

the 512TR is my favorite of all Ferrari road cars, thats why I have 2 :-)
The older stuff I want I cant afford, like a 57 TR or a 67 330P4 or a 70 512M

When I sold my CRX and bought a Ford Probe instead I soon realized how backwards I went. Never again an American car!

I thought you meant lost the rear end, spun out and slid backwards. :-) Not me.

In english, traded a recent model F-car for a older model.

Why did you do it? Did you regret it or was it the best thing you ever did....
