    I like them with pimpin interiors. I should have purchased a blue car from Steve Harris - UT. It was blue with a special two-tone medium and dark blue interior. I would like to buy another car in a few years. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Wow! 186 mph in a Testarossa. How did it feel at that speed?

    These cars are 30 years or so old. At those speeds, the required maintenance is way, Way, WAY more than 99.9% of these cars receive. The Preventative Maintenance requirements go up exponentially.

    For example... the front wheel bearings in these cars RARELY receive any routine maintenance. Many (most) people never give them a thought unless they are making noise (failing).

    At those speeds EVERYTHING happens fast - including a bearing failure on a 30 year old car.

    In addition, even on the autobahn, most people are driving in the 100 to 125kph range. Grandma going to visit her kids on a Sunday morning drive is likely not expecting somebody closing in on her at 300kph.

    That kind of driving ONLY belongs on a closed course with cars that are religiously prepared for the challenge. As you know, most all race organizations require special licensing and tech inspection before they let folks on the track. Anything less is foolish endangerment of the driver and anybody who is in the vicinity.

    Drivers that partake in foolishness have no right to endanger others. Get on the track! Ferrari and clubs sponsor track days - there is no excuse to drive on public roads at race speeds.

    I hope folks don’t learn these tragic life altering lessons the hard way.

    Watch his hands.... all he was doing was driving straight ahead. Just a few bumps on the road that mean NOTHING at 100kph were enough to unsettle the car into a total loss of control.
