Testarossa Values
Discussion
I have a ’91 Testarossa.
Although I have never driven a bus, I really don’t understand the comparison. Yes the steering is slow but it needs to be since it lacks power assistance. Once on the move I think it weights up nicely and gives great feel. It also means the car feels stable at higher speeds.
As far as the width of the car is concerned, the car shrinks around you and as long as you are aware of the additional width to the rear the car can be placed very accurately.
Tight and twisty B roads are not the car’s forte. These cars were designed as GT cars not sports cars and are at their best on dual carriageways and motorways.
As far as I am concerned ultimate pace on the road is a totally irrelevant way of differentiating one car from another since the bar has been raised so high that even the most mundane car is now so capable.
Testarossas are only going to go one way.
