Ferrari Mailing List: Ferrari Run to New Orleans - Clyde

[Dick Petrick (rtpetrick]

 

Clyde,

I am glad you are enjoying your 575M. I agree with you that the 575M is an amazing Ferrari…..wicked fast….and in black, or in my case, silver, it is indeed a stealthy machine.

Easy to drive and easy to perform the belt service.

I have driven the 599GTB HGTE, also a great ride, but with another 100 hp, but totally docile in town. I’ve never really been motivated enough to move up to the 599GTB, in part because the 575M is so satisfying.

I, like you, also own a Testarossa….an 85’ single mirror. I just finished refurb on it…..major, interior, suspension, tires, and the Wizard radiator upgrades that you suggested. Looks and runs like a new one.

The two cars are separated by 20 years and they are night and day different, and to be honest, I don’t have a favorite. I like them both equally, but for different reasons.

 

Regards,

Dick Petrick
