    You'll laugh but Ferrari got caught rolling back the odometers electronically on some super cars like the LaFerrari.

    ...and as I understand it, it's a simple plug connector on the Testarossa.

    Doesn’t surprise me, anything that translates to dollars in this world will motivate someone or even a business to do something unethical. Sometimes the stakes are too high(a lot of money) involved and people will do things they shouldn’t.

    Zeff I have only owned my TR for 8 days so haven't had the opportunity to rollback the odometer yet :)

    And Shamile, I've seen pics of you. You are not built any bigger than I am and we are about the same age so there is NO WAY u can say that driving this car in the city is easy. It takes some serious muscle to crank the steering wheel from a dead stop or in a slow turn

    Saying this car is easy to drive is like saying a 200 pound girl at fat camp is skinny. Yeah, she may be "skinny" compared to the other 300 pound girls in the room....….but does that make her skinny?? LOL !

    lol...just say no to fat girls!

    Honestly, I do find the car easy to drive, park and back up. Yes, the steering wheel is a little tough parallel parking but after my Diablo VT Roadster, the visibility is amazing.
    I also don't find the width an issue as both my Diablo and current Murcielago are wider.

    The only area where I would say the car is difficult is that you can't shift fast and the revs drop off before you can select the next gear. The gearbox is very slow.

    My college buddies and I used to have a cartoon picture of a fat chick on our wall with a big 'X' thru it

    On the bottom it read "NO FAT CHICKS!!"

    OK, so in "driving terms" the TR is the 200 pound girl, the Diablo Roadster is the 300 pound girl, and my new-ish (2015) Porsche 911 C4S manual is the 110 pound nimble hottie :)

    Believe it or not - 10+ years ago at a car show - a supposedly self identified 512M owner(the car was not there) asked if I knew how to connector the odometer back. Should have asked for the car's #.

    Parnelli-

    Get some more miles under your belt with your TR. I weigh 145lbs soaking wet and have zero problem driving my car. I have about one thousand miles on it in the year I’ve owned it. The only “issue” is the no power steering but I’ve learned how to drive a car with no power steering and now it doesn't bother me.

    I am 100% getting an exhaust. My brain (wallet) says capristo.... but i am in LOVE with the Kreissieg sound. Paying double sounds terrible... but I just cant quite get the same excitement from the capristo (so far).
    All that said, i have yet to hear either one in person- hoping to find one to sample soon. Internet samples makes it feel inconclusive.

    Plus import duty.... and it will take a month or 2 to be there.
    My buddy petfed has one and it is nice and a bit better but not twice as much, also quality wise I’m not sure the German can be defeated...

    Aaaigh... your advice is probably the only reason i haven't ordered the Kreissieg. I tend to believe the in person evaluations...i just seem to hear such a diff in sound on the videos:( I wont buy until i hear at least one (prob the capristo) in person.

    Spoke to the owner of that car.
    It has 20,800 miles on odometer but it was replaced at 7000 miles so should have 28k
    Owner spent 20k recently in a major. He wants 102 and car is advertised at 107k.
    The offer he got on the car is 90k which I think is about right... but the car bc of that speedometer has a blemish why not replace it with the same mileage? I don’t get it. Why at 0?
