Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Neilson - Here we go again!

Any track toy that starts off as a road car is an unsatisfying design compromise.

Even if you’re paying $500k+ for a GT3/GTE car.

Exactly!  Though TR brakes, wheels and tires can be upgraded you can't easily improve their HP to weight ratio.  Their best use is as a GT car or to attract members of the opposite sex.

I have a 1985 TR…It is a fun car to drive. It is not a track car. It was designed to be a GT car, not a track car. 

People who buy TRs today aren’t looking for a track car. If they were, they buy a 430 Scud or a 458 Italia GT3.

Two problems with the TR for track use…Breaks would not stand up to track abuse….The TR is too heavy for the available bhp.
