The 2003 Ferrari 575M is Imperfect Grand Touring Royalty 

They wouldn't let me jump it OR drive behind a car-hauler jettisoning cars onto the road.

I’m Mike Loooooooowrey

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Mike Lowwrrryyyy B*#ch!!!!!!!

It was the dashboard!

Everyone wants to be like Mike.

@Nutbox Deliverer bad boys

haha! It was the 964 turbo for me.

Yeah but what made that so epic was they used the F355 engine note dubbed over to make it exciting.

For most of the chase scenes in the movie, they actually used the f550.

Go for the 575M - all the irritating glitches of the 550 ironed out. Make sure it has a Fiorano Pack and 19" split rims. The paddle shift it manual BTW.

24 is a great road, just not on the weekends ;-)

I believe he's on Route 67 as well, which if taking it south takes you to Route 24 and Woodland Park.

@@CarsandCorey Agreed

@@ThatRosco458 Could be on the 67, that's another great road. I know when he is at the light that's the 24 getting back into Manitou Springs.

@@CruiseControl1 Yeah seems so. I have an Alfa Romeo 4C I take up there every once in a while, like to get there very early. I do a loop through Bailey and Tarryall and back to Colorado Springs, great roads no doubt 👍

You just took me back to great memories, thank you sir!

Same here, Need For Speed High Stakes. Although I played on PC. This car was an understated beauty.

Yeah Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 3 for the original PlayStation introduced me to this legendary ride, but Bad Boys 2 made me idolize this beast on the road.

Same! But for me it was the PC version. I miss those classic 90s NFS games so much. The passion and love for cars just oozes from every part of the game. Something that post-2002 titles never managed.

High five! - ZK

@@TheSmokingTire I'm SO glad you got to experience this, and your hero was just as great as you were hoping it would be.

Not saying it's the biggest task in the car universe, totally doable from a mechanical standpoint, but 550/575 parts are expensive nowadays and to get it all working you'll better have a technician who has some Ferrari experience. Still, it has been done and looking at the price difference which is like 70K in my country it may still be an option, furthermore you have much more cars available, so you'll probably find an F1 that suits you better than a manual car. For instance you won't ever find a manual Fiorano Pack car. The parts you'll need are really, really expensive, cause they are (surprise) Ferrari Parts. First you'll need a pair of ECUs, cause it's a different Version Motronic F1/Manual. There goes the first 10K for nothing. In the end you'll have parts for around 25-30K at the very least if you search the parts yourself, don't rely on new parts only and maybe have some luck with trading in an F1 gearbox. No screw has been touched to this point. Most of the converted 575s were cars that had been in the hands of the owner for long and they wanted to change to manual, so money has not really been an issue, if you are price sensitive and consider that in resale a converted car will most likely not get you the same money as an original manual this may be close to Zero money you'll actualy save. It's nevertheless a cool project and you will end up with a fantastic car, but in the end, if you want one of those with a manual the 550 is the way to go in my opinion.

@@jetara3082 It can be done for GBP 20K and has been done for that amount all in,. NLA parts can now be 3D scanned and milled. The ECU's can be flashed and there is someone who is and has been succesfully doing that for some time, again in the UK. Most parts are interchangable with 550 parts which are on the whole available from breakers. Do also bear in mind that nearly 30% of the 575 supplied in RHD were manual transmission. So at least here there are more than you think. I'm quite a way into this and it's not a pipe dream, I've done plenty of research before I started my search for an F1 car. The guy that can do this for me converted his own 612 to manual, which is way more complex from an ecu and electronics standpoint. The 575 is a walk in the park in comparison. The bigger difficulty is trim components like the steering column surround if you want to remove the paddles and complete the full manual look. a-gearstick-where-once-there-was-none on the F Chat forum tells you all you need to know.

There is a company set up to do precisely that. They do 430 too.

This is the way.

I agree. Absolutely must be a manual.

The 550 was only available as a manual. The majority of 575m were sold as auto's, but some were sold with a manual. Because those manuals are rare though, they cost way more. A smart idea would be to buy an auto 575m and get professionals to convert it to a manual. 575m had the optional Fiorano Pack which improved the suspension and handling.

Modernish gt.... :)

You must have forgot the Aston Martin DBS.....

A slight throttle lift when shifting seemed to help. I think you made the right choice in moving on and having a different F experience.- ZK

@@TheSmokingTire Thank you Zack. I have actually moved on from the F430 Spider a few years ago and got myself a McLaren 600LT which I love, though I do miss having a Ferrari. It would be so great if I had the ability to keep all my old sports cars.

The midengine platform is better

@@allensaunders449 but they are more darting insect than prancing horse which was his point

@@coreygolphenee9633 I love the look of the newer midengine cars to each his own

@@allensaunders449 the 458 is an all timer it goes down down with the boxer 330 and the best of the mid engine offerings, its just their GT cars are like their Mercedes s class it should be their flagship otherwise they are just lamborghini

@@coreygolphenee9633 the new hybrids the SF90 the 6 I think they are great nothing like Lamborghini

Who would not care about this car?

@@chamade166 HAL 9000

We're down!

I kinda miss that from TST.

@@grievuspwn4g3 Only OG's of TST remember about the "3 brakes" incident...

This!!!

@@rds6962 please explain

True. I've used that for GPS but I don't think Wayze can connect (and thus, we can't use its speedometer)?

@@TheSmokingTire yeah waze might refuse to load without a connection, so you'd need a separate speedometer app.

@@TheSmokingTire Try using Motion X GPS. It has loads of functionality including pure GPS location, speed & altitude.

Gorgeous place. That was quite a day, other than the S2000 going 12mph under the speed limit.

I thought it looked familiar then I remembered this was an away one take and I was just out there on vacation. 😅

Lol Bad Boys II for me

Need for Speed

How old is Zack, like, 35?

@@EmmanuelTurner245225 I believe they are both 39 - class of 99/2000

@@R3LF13 Wow, I wouldn't have guessed. Thanks.

Thank you!

He's a really nice guy and he loves what he sells. - ZK

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe those were flagship cars, the way the Daytona, 512, TR, and 550 were. - ZK

@@TheSmokingTire I think Ferrari want people to forget about the 400 and 412 ever existing tbh 😅 they were slow with a lazy engine and a lazy 4 speed auto and were more of an expensive Alfa/Maserati

True. I haven't driven one nor seen one. The 456 came out in 1992, when the TR was still for sale and arguably still the flagship Ferrari. I think that's what separates the 456 and 550/575. The 550 and 575 got to stand alone for a bit as the powerful 12-cylinder-powered car, until Ferrari debuted the Enzo, of course. There's also the whole 2-seater vs 2+2 thing, but really, I think so much of that stuff is strategic marketing that companies do to separate their cars. - ZK

"Department insurance doesn't cover privately owned vehicles, Mike, that's why we drive police cars."

The 355 engine note they dubbed over that scene helped it! Was so good.

The front is a bit oddball on the 406 coupe but the overall lines are reaaaal good. It has a ton of presence. 406 coupe is timeless but had some less than ideal quality is some areas.

But that's a Pug

The 575 with a manual would probably be ideal, if one can afford it. - ZK
