The good news and the bad news.

Now you are talking a Ferrari that I can afford.

So what was the problem?

Really? Depends on how you define "slow" I suppose. Early TRs are 390hp and 3300lbs more or less, and late 512Ms will have 440hp and about the same weight. Very comparable, and flat out they will run right with a ZR-1 with a slightly higher top speed. They don't have the same torque, and are definitely not drag racers, but on any kind of circuit I doubt there would be much between them if any. They are definitely not slow.

It's a very different experience. My 308 is such a sweet car to drive, much lighter on its feet than the ZR-1, with a sound and tactile feel that can't be beat. But the Z so visceral in a completely different way, that I just can't compare the two. I love them both!

FWIW 328s are going for quite a bit MORE than early TRs now!

code 61, low vac pressure. Check valve or something under the plenum. Going to rip it apart and figure it out next few weeks

This is an 88 TR with headers no cats and an exhaust. The thing screams, it doesn't feel as fast as my 90 but we all know that doesn't mean anything. It's really fun to drive, but I like the 328 more.

Now,that's some good news! Your car has been ailing for way too long,Kev.
Just glad you resisted the urge to sell it.
