    This popped up on facebook from a car meet page.


    EDIT: I jumped on making this thread too soon, it's a Hamann Testarossa F512 M.

    It looks like a Pontiac Firebird ate a Testarossa.

    Not at all sure that's the look I want for my next Ferrari. :D

    That car has recently been bought by a "chinaman" living in the Los Angeles area. So all you LA guys will probably see this car out and about.. It's very rare, and ****ing awesome if you ask me.

    I actually like it very much (maybe because I know it's a V12 in a stretched F355 look body).

    I'd like to see more pictures, but I like it. Thought the MP4 intakes look similar.

    Would you like to clarify what you mean by "chinaman"?

    "What the **** are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."

    Still one of my all time favorite movies..."or you can call El Duderino, if you're not into the brevity thing"

    Maybe, he meant to say that the guy sells china (plates).

    Sincerely,

    I was never much for the styling of the 512M, but this modification seems to be even worse...

    I usually hate mods, but I like this. Perhaps it's because I'm not a TR fan in the first place.

    Yes, the TR is such a SUBTLE design example that it really screams out for cosmetic modifications to make it more noticeable.

    I agree... in some ways it looks better than the stock appearance, but I'm not sure i like it as a whole.
