    Thats one awesome car. Out of curiosity what does it weight, what was the effect on handling by adding the flat 12.

    450PS, 315km/h, about 70kg more weigh.... Flat-12 Sound with tubistyle exaust and BMC air-filter. Normal handling, like the F355, but more power allways. Really other sound and behind the head a really classic 12 cylinder....you can see the flat 12 motor in the mirror. Hear how it want his new air... It has more compression, polish inlet valves and channels, otimize valves working times, optimize Software direct from Ferrari in Maranello. Ferrari had seen the car.
    Many thinks I had to repair and make it better. This Ferrari is like a Money-Shark/Time -Shark!
    I will see how it works at racetrack Nordschleife against my 550 Maranello. I think the same times racing, but more feeling and more power possible to drive in curves. But more dangerous at high speed in curves.


    I seek a F512m name plate....

    The 512TR the gearbox under the engine. The F355 has the gearbox behind the engine and thus more weight behind the rear axle. The extra weight is 50-60kg because the air conditioning was expanded. The F355 has the more modern adaptive chassis as the 512TR and a power steering. A better aerodynamics. Is lighter but wider : 203cm

    I love that quote "drifting carefully" Can you say OXYMORON?

    Put in that new stiffer quill shaft and a new 1 piece diff and let's see what breaks next. It will be in the gearbox for sure.

    mel, tim put 2 pieces of wood between the two inlets, so nothing could happen, but I agree with you to tie under the gearbox
