Sweeet car! I had one follow me for a while on a trip to Toronto this past summer, silver as well. I was cruising along pretty quickly and he jumped in behind me. Shadowed me for a while, then blew past. He was cruising a bit too fast for me after that (in terms of likelihood of getting a ticket). Gorgeous car.

Nice car - Maseratis, Jags, and Aston Martins just have a gentleman's style about them.

Wonder if the blue dash is cracked?

To get inside the Ferrari exhibit at the Auto show you need a special letter from a dealer or a copy of your Ferrari title. So a few years back I took my F title copy and got in the F exhibit at the Detroit Auto show.

It was a kick.

We got to look over close up all the new models and one of last years examples of an F1 car. The only one we could get in was the Quatroporto Maser which was a new product that year. the interior was impressive. I would enjoy driving one one day.

F512M
The Modificata F512 M was the modified final Testarossa, with power now climbing to 440 PS (323.6 kW/434.0 hp). The first 512 M was also a modified version of the 512 S race car in 1970. Released in 1994, the F512 M was the company's last mid-engined 12-cylinder car, apart from the F50 and Ferrari Enzo, featuring the company's last flat engine. It was replaced in 1996 by the front-engined 550 Maranello coupe. It should also be noted this car featured a different front lid with twin NACA ducts, and totally revised fixed headlamps. The rear of the car also controversially received four round F355 style lamps, replacing the classic straked rear grille.


No extra charge for bad panel gaps -

I don't see nothin' wrong with that 560 that a bucket of bondo can't fix.

In another life I used to work on Ferrari bodies and replicate body panels, doors and bumpers for the aftermarket body replacement parts. Everything that came from Ferrari was resin rich wavy junk and not any one panel aligned right with the other. One side of the car was completely different size compared to the other. Horrible booger welds....but the engine, drive train and suspension were works of art...bellissimo! magnifico ! fantastico!

Thats my friend who you meet at the meet's favorite F car.

As for the body panals, if you want laser perfection buy a German car, Italian's don't do that.
