At $400K they're still half price

I also have driven mine today
it was great ! ! !
as long as the weather is not bad I try to make some more drives this year

but paul: you mean a BB is worth 800k? in 2 years I would say this would be cheap then

the gold on the rims look great
also the jeans looks great - remembers me to mine

 

Probably not too many days like that left in the year. Glad that you were able to get out!

 

...The Newman BB at a distance. Brushed gold rims and the red NACA ducts!

 

Mr Newman could have at least dressed for the occasion. Ripped jeans, hands not at 9 and 3, and the top dash vents not aligned....what is this world coming to!

 

Took mine out sat for what may be the last run of 15, 50 degree crisp air little traffic car loved it, burned 2/3 of a tank. Reminded me of why I like it so. At 300-400K its 1/8 the price of a 288, same era ferrari supercar, arguably better styling, 90% of the performance and a 12.

And naturally aspirated.

 

Awesome car Newman! Looks great man.

 

Newman
Is this one of the ones you completely restored?

 

These are just gorgeous looking cars. More beautiful than the Testarossa dynasty and I say that as owner of a Testa and a F512M and no BBs.

 

Other than a F40 it's my favorite streetable Ferrari.

 

Had my BB out for a blast as well Saturday and again today.
Agree, there's nothing like a well running Boxer.

 

This sunday, pure magic.

Do I spot overhead carb intakes mod on Newmans 2nd photo?

 

They really do lovce that cold crisp weather, and its far more comfortable for the driver too.

There I was playing in the meat of the powerband, 4.5-6.2k in 3rd and 4th lots of open roads no traffic. I couldnt help but feel that a v8 ferrari just cant offer the same experience on road.

The TQ and instant pickup of the 12 just adds a whole dimension, plus boxer can hadle well esp for street use, have great ride and entertain once rolling at most speeds because thye actualy have to be driven.

they do suck in heat and traffic where moderns excel, but thats not what they are for.

 

Yes, I believe that car has some Koenig pieces...

 

Did the same Sunday with 44815

After driving my TR for 2 years and test driven a 360 not long ago I can't agree more with this comment. The 360 was seriously lacking the push in the backrest the flat twelve was giving even if they have the same HP.

 

Torque is a beautiful thing, about 100 more in the 512!
