Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512TR vs 550

[LS (lashdeep]

For me, Clyde has made the right choice...512TR is the way to go. Old school 
character with modern performance and great sounds.

The 550/575 is too video game like for my tastes. Although, I'd prob be tempted 
to buy one at $45k.

Ditto Ed â While I love the looks, engine, etc. of the 512, Iâve also been a 
fan of the 550 since it was released.  I also like the 456 but thatâs not 
being discussed here for some reason -

Iâm sure going forward at great speed in a TR is unequaled â but I wouldnât 
want to have to back up in one!     ;-)

It's a tough choice - if I was ready to write a check I'm not sure I'd know 
which to buy.  I'd bet a test drive would make the choice for me though -

Merry Christmas To All -

No hands on personal experience, but to me, the 550 just seems so much more 
usable.  Some don't care for the looks of the 550, but I think it was the 
best looking Ferrari to come along in years, and much better looking than 
what replaced it.  The 550 is just a big proper GT car to me.  Only thing 
I've heard to watch for, is the cooling hose that runs between the two 
cylinder banks, under the plenum ??  I'm sure the better informed can point 
out other weaknesses and things to watch for.

In a recent survey, the TR still rates as one of the top most desirable 
sports cars on peoples wish list.

Guys,

All the discussion about the 512TR begs the question. How does the 550 
compare?

Asking prices seem to be very close for both cars.

I'm aware they're very different cars ( styling, engine placement etc.) 
however for about the same money you can have your choice!

I like the interior of the 550 despite the 512TR's interior being a giant 
leap over the earlier series TR's, but I have a little trouble with the 
550's styling.

I'm with FG on the 512TR possibly being my favorite Ferrari however I'd like 
to hear the arguement for the 550... if there is one. :)

  Thanks   Ken
