I'd absolutely take the F40 if I am choosing an investment or if I am trying to win a race, but if I am just choosing a car to drive on city streets and highways (and if resale values aren't an issue), I'd prefer to have a Testarossa. Maybe I've become a middle aged fuddy duddy, but to me, a comfortable and gorgeous Pinin penned GT sounds like a dream come true.

Testarossa of course

@@quattrocam I've always dreamed of driving an F40. I've only driven 6 Ferrari s and the last one was 488. They say don't meet your heros, but I have enjoyed every nsx ( r and l) hand drive r32, R34 bunches of Porschees, some lambos , but never had the chance to drive an F40. I pick, obviously, the F40.

i ve seen the bad craftsmanship on the inside of the engine ..bbrrrrrr......

Honestly I'd do the Testarossa just for the pure cruzing. For super car, I'd actually want the 288GTO

Grand tourer is cruising cross countries in luxury and enough power

Mid engined grandtourer?? Whaaa

GTs can be supercars, so this video’s premise and title seem silly

It sure is a beautiful machine 🙏

Well when its barely fast enough to outrun an air cooled bug it should handle the curves. I mean, its literally too slow to kick the rear sideways coming out of a curve 😂😂😂

And they are amazingly spacious, comfortable and easy to drive GT's. I love driving them. Also they are quite reliable and not that expensive to maintain.

@@damianlindsey6177 Have you been in one? they don't feel under-powered at all.

The 1st iteration or the 512 tr. I hear the 1st one is easy to drive, but the 512 tr the clutch is super hard. This true. I really want a 512 tr just because it's my childhood dream car.

​​@@damianlindsey6177 didn't matter, chassis and tires weren't really sophisticated enough to do that anyway. It has all the power it could handle. It also wasn't intended for that kind of driving; high end GTs are made for comfortably covering as much distance as possible, not driving like an idiot. It was the fastest car around at the time though There's been a lot of progress since then.

Not exactly. 365BB was made to be competition for Miura but then they made 512BB with bigger engine, less power and that was GT car.

@@FirssenSimracing This is not exactly true either. Ferrari already had some rear-mid engine race cars at the time of the Miura, but he didn't want to put rear-mid engine layouts in the hands of the public because he didn't think the average Ferrari owner would be able to handle it. It wasn't until the Miura's runaway success that he started developing the mid-engine BB, but it was always supposed to be a direct successor to other Ferrari gran turismo models like the 275 GTB, rather than a race car for the road like the 250 GTO, and later 288 GTO and F40

It wasn’t meant to be, it’s just content for a video in an attempt to be informative and controversial For the sake of likes and subs.

Really? That’s very interesting, we definitely need to look into that 👍

@@quattrocam The 'Show or Display' rule (the SoD) is because of lobbying that began when Bill Gates and his fellow Microsoft founder Paul Allen bought a pair of brand new 959s that were both confiscated and held prisoner in impound for over a decade. The only legal alternative to this limbo was mandatory destruction of the cars as illegal contraband. However, unlike the SoD rule, the 25-year rule to exempt historical cars was written into the original bill that became the IVSCA (ie, the Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988). It wouldn't have made sense to prohibit Americans from buying prewar collector's cars because they hadn't been crash-tested. It's important to remember what the intent was behind getting the law passed. The IVSCA was not a popular law and was itself the result of special interest lobbying. American dealers who were authorized to sell European sportscars that had been factory built to U.S. spec were losing business. In the 1980s you could save around $10k if you imported a Euro-spec car via the gray market and privately converted the car yourself (aka 'federalized' it) to make it street legal. That'd be a savings of nearly $30k in today's money. The IVSCA was mainly intended protect the profits of U.S. Mercedes dealerships. The very first use of the SoD import exception was an XJ220 bought in 1999 by a friend of a friend who lives in my hometown. He's also got an XKSS.

I remember reading about that a long time ago, wasn’t bill gates 959 stuck in a shipping container for a long time because of import laws?

@@Sedici-Competizione I don't think it was *_literally_* in a shipping container for years. That was merely a bit of hyperbole to make a story slightly more dramatic. However, it did remain in long term storage at a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) for 13 years. An FTZ is a secured area near a designated customs port of entry which is physically located within the U.S. but is legally considered to be outside the U.S. - rather like how the land occupied by an embassy is officially considered to be foreign territory.

@@Sedici-Competizione according to an article on rennlist he spent 13 years fighting to get it out of customs on a special exception to the 25 year rule 🤯

Thank you & it did 😁 the last Ferrari to have one, it came from the Daytona’s V12 but had the 180 degree banks like you said, it was a lot of fun to make, easy to see why the Testarossa and Countach are held in such high regard, trail blazers 🚀

Yep, correct.

he literally said that in the video... plus its tecinically a 180 degreeV12

@@joshuawrighton-briggs7120 Yeah that's what being a Flat V12 means

Those were the first hypercars, Miura & the Countach were the first supercars

It is daft to think that even early 2000 supercars are now being beaten by even mid level hot hatch let alone high performance EV’s, thank god they sound amazing 😂🙏

Thank you, really appreciate it 🙏

Except the flat 12 pistons don't look like they are boxing.....

We will be covering the first supercar (Lambo Miura) soon 👍

Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to watch and the nice comment 🙏☺️

And if they haven’t they will in a little over 1 weeks time 🏎️ the V12 will roar

Jackson, Fox, Jordan, all the Michaels

What a loser

No

It was the 348 not the Testarossa. 348 was the worst Ferrari ever made.

@@OCDRex11 oh my bad it would smoke them both anyways 🤣

@@HansBelphegor actually it’s a 4.3 liter and that was a typo i made I meant 6 not 4

hmm so would your Camaro actually, its 4 wheel drive which offers a hell of a shove off the line, plus the turbo offers the power low down off the RPM line, so it gives an instant shove, mind you once its up to highway speed, its out of puff at 90 like all GM shitboxes of the era thanks to its 3 speed auto or the doug nash 4 plus 3 that holds gears for maxium fuel economy despite the protests of the owner hence why transmission swapping became a big thing and yours is probably aerodynamically limited to about a 120, a 130 with heavy front end lift, poor brakes, recirculating ball steering and polyglass tires while the ferrari's good for a 160 with stable aerodynamics, good brakes, rack and pinion steering, and highly rated pirelli tires that can actually take the heat, and hold the road, hence why the people who have them love them, and if its an updated model, one of the latter ones, you might loose in the 0 to 60 if the drivers fast enough too as sometimes, its not about what some idiot in a magazine says about it, its about how it drives
