I'm just not seeing it. It looks like a corvette with stuffed glued all over it. I don't understand why someone would do that. Now he doesn't have a corvette or ferrari, he is just left with some mutated thing in between.

Yeah that rear hatch look like it came from the early 90s Viper. I love the old testarossa but 2 different body styles together dont fit.

There is no other way, than going all in or nothing...
Those mutants is a disgrace to both the Corvette and Ferrari marks and fans.

I've driven a TR's before. They are actually on he cheaper end of ferrari's. You can get them from 40-80k depending on type (TR vs 512TR, age and condition).

Yeah but they are not 512-TRs either, only the older TestaRossa, and my 94 will tear them a new one from 0-60 and so will your Z

I’m just giving you a hard time, sorry, though some days I would love to live somewhere different and I hear Australia is one of the best.
