Orion Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Always had a thing for the Testarossa. First gear Watch me go, keep 'em in fear Rumble, young man rumble Brother won't fumble, muthafukas just crumble Gaskets crank, rappers get spanked Stripes get yanked by superior rank Won't stop the jock in some American car use a lyrical radar But I'm rolling, the cartel's tolling For the D's keep folding Most Cadillac rappers get left in a stir By the jet black blur Mean, the Testarosa running like it suppose ta Don't try to get closer Cause you might get lost in the dual exhaust Don't ever try to fuck wit' a boss High octane there ain't no ping When I swing I'm a lyrical speed king And that's just first gear, listen for the upshift Who can get wit' this I'm your Testarossa...

gaewsky1 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm still am a huge fan of the FF. Theres just something about hatches that I love. If you buy one may I stand on the side of the road as you drive back and forth, just to hear the exhaust and engine symphony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBMW Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 not a fan of the rear end of this car. i actually considered a 458 this summer. maybe next summer. Good choice. Doc, I can't wait to see it in person. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Well the reason I asked if there were any Ferrari fanboys here in central Ohio was the same as when I asked in previous threads, e.g., the Lambo test drives and the Bentley reception at Eddie Merlot's. I got an invitation to the unveiling of this new model and although I'm not in the market to buy it, I thought some true fans might want to see it, get in it, talk to the factory guys about it, score some literature, and hobnob with some prospective buyers. I've got four takers on my offer already. (It's invitation-only, and I can't swing more than four guests on my invitation.) If you want to be on a backup list, post to the thread, and if someone has to drop out, I'll give you a heads-up. Here's a brief "first drive" video: ( We'll post photos to this thread after the event. Edited January 29, 2013 by Cordell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm a 355 fan, myself. +1. Doc, if you get a F12...Paul wants to talk to you. http://www.columbuscarsandcoffee.com/2013.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 There's about as much chance of me getting an F12 as there is Paul M. wanting to talk to me again. And I'm not exactly heartbroken over that. That asshat's intro thread sure disappeared from here fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 The beast in person: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/grill-1_zps8ed30224.jpg The dealer said that this is the only car out in the public right now. It's the same car that was in the Detroit Auto Show. It's a European spec car, and no U.S. cars have yet been built. MAG has been allotted two, but has 18 paid deposits. Price is north of 300 large. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/rightside_zpsa0b1fb73.jpg We all agreed the car looked better in person than in photos, especially the rear http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/rear-1_zps095713c2.jpg Not many people have gotten this close to the car, let alone sat behind the wheel http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/interior_zps1264d5f8.jpg But of course 3 CR guys joined that exclusive club Benjamin http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Benincar_zpsd2a55424.jpg Brendo389 http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Brendanincar_zps84153fa5.jpg Geesammy http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Grantincar_zps3498a66f.jpg We browsed the other Ferrari's and Mazz's, then looked at BMW, Bentley, Aston, Lambo. This used Ferrari was only $303,000 (balance of factory warranty included) :lolguy: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Grayinshowroom_zps61ffa643.jpg I think we all had a good time.

SpaceGhost Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Was a great time! As always you have so much interesting stuff to tell us! Love riding in the Flying Spur! I enjoy the stories and your company! Glad to meet some new CR peeps too! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/13/2y9etupu.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/13/ate6e5un.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Was awesome to have the opportunity to go, and to meet more CR people! The Bentley is amazing as well, Doc, surprised me how fast it was for being 3 tons! F12 is beautiful in person, it's a lot like the 458 in that pictures do it no justice, Pininfarina got the design just right, and even all of the vents from the front fenders to the rear quarter panels look good in the overall design. %5Bimg%5Dhttp%3A//http://www.flickr.com/photos/brendanberg1/8469752932/in/photostream%5Bimg%5D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Add enough Camaro parts to it and it might pass for one ..... that is, until you fire it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Add enough Camaro parts to it and it might pass for one ..... that is, until you fire it up. Lol, the silhouette/side profile is pretty close to the C7's, but other than that there's no similarities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks, Mike, but all I did was take some CR fans to an invitation-only showing. I'm not in the market for a car like this, couldn't afford to buy it, couldn't afford to insure it, and couldn't drive it well enough to justify having it. But I can still appreciate what a fine car it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 It looked killer in person. I love the hood vent on the side of the hood. I know crapy pics, but just thought I would add to this. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/14/5ezaquha.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/14/ytyqy5er.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
