The Ferrari 575M Surprises Me
good morning youtube today i'm gonna review our 2005 ferrari 575 marinello so are you recording all of the nefarious activities if you're new to the channel my name is dan and this is my garage and this is our ferrari 575 marinella which is for sale through our dealership ng supercars although it may not actually be for sale yet because we think we're going to convert it to a manual and we'll go into that in just a minute but real quick if you want to support us please like share and subscribe hit the yada notification bell same stuff that every youtubers tells you i know i know i gotta do it too it's my job also if you want to support us you can go buy parts and services through our website normalguysupercar.com we sell stuff like exhaust and suspension and brakes and upgrades and all sorts of cool stuff so go check it out probably got some stuff you might want and we'll hook you up with ten percent off most of things in the store using the code ngs10 and if you want a custom quote email us sales normalguy supercar.com and we could probably get you a better deal than you think we can even get you parts that aren't listed on the website so go ahead and do that so for those of you that have been watching the channel you already know us but we had some difficulty when we bought this car so this was kind of the basket case 575 that well it literally got bounced around to about five different dealerships because well no one could seem to fix it correctly and it was having some weird engine issues it was kind of stumping us so in another video that we just published we actually had our friend josh yeah that josh yeah he came over and we got it running so this thing's running and well it's still not quite ready to go so we got some stuff we need to do it from what i understand anyway i don't know all the facts but it sounds like they only made like less than 100 of these in manual so this is a pretty rare car to begin with they only made a couple thousand of it and then to have only a couple hundred manual well it's too bad so we're thinking we're gonna convert it to manual and you know get rid of that little thing but we're gonna drive it as is today because well it's still a really fun car and i tell you the other thing about this car is it's super super clean like there is just very little paint flaws the paint looks amazing the wheels everything looks great once we get it all set and ready to go one of you is going to get one hell of a car from us so one thing to note is this is basically in the same era as the ferrari 360 in fact you can see these side view mirrors are identical to the ferrari 360 and it has the same style of headlights as the ferrari 360. it has the same air scoop and basically the same body as the ferrari 550. so this car is almost identical to 550 it has a little bit more power a different
transmission setup it had the f1 transmission was available and i believe pretty much everyone got it in the f1 so being that this is a grand touring car you can see it has actually a very comfortable and just kind of clean interior now you can see there's some stuff we need to fix like right here the carpet is kind of popping up we need to get that tacked down uh then he'll love this um this control panel right here yeah it's like completely loose so um yeah that needs to be stuck in there but other than that the seats are in very good shape not hardly anywhere on the bolsters i mean the rest of the car is just super super clean even the headliner looks good the dashboard is in like perfect condition i mean usually these cars all this leather gets all messed up and wrinkly and it looks fantastic it does have quite a bit of miles on it i think it's got like thirty three thousand thirty four thousand something like that maybe it's thirty five thousand i can't remember and of course uh yeah the tires are from 2009. so we're going to be a little bit careful driving this thing say because these tires are sketchy as hell yeah these are gonna be replaced those are dangerous that's not good well we don't have the tires in yet so i'm gonna just kind of take it easy so here's one of the best things about this car is of course oh boy that big old v12 that's right yes we have the ferrari v12 legendary but here's the thing it needs a major because well we have no clue when the last time major was done on this car also the ac or i should say the heater is not working we think it got disabled somehow so we're gonna have to get that fixed uh you can see whoever did the major on this did kind of a sloppy job i mean there's just like goop all over the place so we need to get all that cleaned up and we're gonna do a good major get it all set so that way this thing's ready to roll we also threw an anti-gravity battery there was an aftermarket a lot like a stereo on this thing and it was killing the battery in less than a day so they had it wired up wrong we're gonna get rid of all that crap i mean most people don't really want that anyways yeah i don't know they threw in like a big old amp and some big old speakers and we're just gonna yank that crap out because it's just it's old school crap if someone wants a modern stereo they can kind of get it fixed up another cool thing is this car actually has the tubie exhaust so that's pretty awesome other than that this thing is pretty much stock and you know it's kind of how you want it it's just a beautiful clean car and it's fun to drive so we'll take it out yeah 575. all right youtube let's hop in and take it for a spin all right in the 575. this is the old school uh ferrari style immobilizer you have to like lock it and unlock it in order to get it to do the immobilizer i swear i got like half the time you get it wrong anyway i got it right okay yeah that's like the first time i've gotten it right just so you know uh it has 34 497 miles one nice thing ac post super coldness thing huh hallelujah because it is hot as hell it's texas we're gonna drive in sport mode because all these old f1 cars used to drive in sport mode of note one thing that's fascinating about this car is it is super deep and grumbly yeah oh and we have the parking brake that you gotta lift up push the button then pull it down being that this is the grand tourer um those of you who have watched my reviews know that i am not a huge grand touring car fan but i was driving this home the other day and i kind of like it look it's not gonna win any drag races it is not fast by today's standards but it's shocking it's shockingly comfortable it's very very comfortable and the handling is still really good it just rides soft and smooth it's kind of more like a cadillac ride but not quite that squishy you know like and it doesn't really have any of the body roll and stuff so like you'll see when we start going around some corners that it actually it's handling is really pretty decent but still rides just like like a gem yeah we got the f1 transmission which is a little yeah i mean you're not gonna be super impressed with it that's why we're going to the manual because it just kind of just is what it is so we got to fix this little panel get that fixed fix the heater not sure why the heater is not working we got a few small other issues like the the door locks don't lock when you push the lock button on the remote it lock it locks and then unlocks uh talking to josh he said that there's a the mechanism and the passenger passenger door frequently binds up and then it just kind of like stops working and that causes it to do what it's doing it's a 2005 this car is over 20 years old all right we're still kind of letting it warm up yeah shifts i mean look even though it's got the old school f1 single clutch the ships aren't bad they're actually pretty quick two under hard acceleration they're a little bit firmer uh it seems to be better than the 360 like the 360 to me was really jerky especially the downshifts 360 downshifts were just uh it's like downshifting this thing it's pretty quick it's snappy and it does a good blip on the throttle so it's nice also you get the little a little bit of pops and bangs out of the back because the tubing exhaust kind of goes it's pretty cool 12 cylinders of power that's one thing that's awesome i just you have the iconic ferrari v12 that is part of what's so appealing about this car just an amazing engine of course it's still a belt driven engine so you do have to get that taken care of every five years which is annoying but you don't have to remove the engine because you can get access to it so you'll see we're going to document the the major service on this car and you guys can see that it's not that terribly complicated it's also not nearly as expensive as trying to do it on the engine out cars because of that steering feels really good in this car yeah it's hard to go wrong with ferrari steering they just know what they're doing all right we're on our bumpy road test it's about to get really rough how does the grand tour ferrari handle the bumpy road gotta slow down right here it gets really rough i mean that is almost as good as any modern car handling this and this is a 20 plus year old car that is very smooth so those of you that have a more sensitive derriere will greatly appreciate this car seriously that is impressive that we can take on these roads and it's just that comfortable wow it's riding like a dream all right here we go let's see how this thing handles spinning shitty tires that's a lot of power again i'm not gonna take it super crazy because of these shit tires oh listen to that oh that fry b12 oh my lord that's so good wow i mean look it is just whipping around these corners like it's nothing but we're comfortable oh my gosh so much power just tons of power in this thing ah we caught up to people wow all right that's what's so great about this car holy crap that v12 is just fantastic by god love it absolutely love it the handling is just fantastic oh my god the handling is as good as a modern car it's hard to believe this is that old and it drives this well like super comfortable super super comfortable yet able to whip it around these corners the exhaust is awesome another super important detail this is one of the i think the last generation of ferrari to have the proper furry horn yes i love it oh it's so good tons of torque it's a completely different feeling than the v8s just rolls on torque they geared it pretty tall so when you roll through the gears by time you get into third gear you're pretty much breaking the law in almost every speed limit fascinating how they did that differently but it can because it's got so much torque it can pull like that so it just goes and goes and goes and being a front engine you know the handling is different than the mid engines it feels different you can tell that but it's so smooth i mean this is just so comfortable yet sporty and fun oh my god it's so balanced it's just super planted on the road even on these shit tires going around these cars like zero body roll man yeah this is a ridiculously fun cut i cannot wait to be banging gears of this thing with the gated shifter holy crap man what a great car all right here we go let's have some more fun it's not like pinion your seat fast like the uh modern cars but it's fast it's very fast and it's powerful you can feel that here's the other shocking thing about this car is when you approach it you're thinking oh it's the big v12 it's the front engine grand tour it's gonna be a huge car it's tiny it's seriously it doesn't take up hardly any room in the garage i can't believe how small it is the wheelbase is just tiny you think oh there's no way that you know it's going to be a huge monstrosity it's going to be super weighty and feel heavy and it feels totally tossable like you just throw it around corners and whip around it just feels nimble it's shocking it really is impressive i i kind of really adore this car i think they're totally under-appreciated in the current market like yeah it doesn't have whoa dude it has some you know dated styling to some people the lights are a little bit meh you know but man it's so fun this must have been just insane when it came out people must have lost their minds at this thing i mean i remember when this thing was in bad boys and will smith drove it and it was like holy shit look at that ferrari is so cool yeah it still feels that cool maybe even a little more because now it's just like a classic ferrari well for whoever ends up with this car you are going to love it let me tell you it is fantastic so we don't know what we're gonna sell it for once it's converted we gotta it needs it this card demands it from us oh yeah i could feel the traction control fighting me a bit on that one clearly to do a little better with uh some new tires on this thing the tires are just horrible so once we get that solved i think it'll be i feel a little more comfortable giving it full beans i mean that was to the floor it was spinning the tires we were going pretty quick and still spun the tires all right on the highway totally comfortable feels totally stable very smooth quiet interior you can have a conversation listen to some music go on a road trip that's the cool thing you've got this big shelf in the back so you can actually fit some luggage inside the car and then of course you actually have a bunch of room in the trunk it has a real trunk although this one has the spare which admittedly takes up a ton of space so i personally would just chuck the spare or put it in the storage and then just bring it can to fix it flat call it good because that that spare is just massive the thing about the v12 cars to me is that they're kind of a different level of ferrari like everyone has the v8 they don't make as many v12s and it's kind of more classy like this is the car that you really want to show up to an event and everyone will be like damn that's awesome or you know you pull up wearing some nice clothes you're going to be noticed people are going to appreciate it and and give you a thumbs up and stuff it's just such a cool ferrari to me this is what the grand tours should be this is top level grand tour especially like classic grand touring cars you can't beat this it just i can't believe that this is as old as it is it's amazing everything is fantastic fry killed it back in the day this is amazing this is this is a car that stood the testament of time the styling might be dated to some people but the handling and everything else about this car is just spa you pull up at a stoplight there's no one out there driving one of these you're never gonna see these they're super super awesome and you just they're just never out in public it's a shame it's a shame that you don't get to see these things they're just fantastic i i really like this car i can't wait to see what it's like as a manual holy crap that's gonna be outrageous well i have to say i initially when we got this thing thought i'm not gonna like it i don't like grand touring cars and i have to say the more i drive it the more i'm really appreciating it just is awesome just better than some of the grand tours i've driven it just feels so comfortable yet it's so nimble it's hard to describe that it just it handles so well i mean it's just very precise handling it feels very ferrari-like it has so little body rolls so much control i think it's just beautiful i think these are beautiful cars i've always loved the styling of them i think they just look fantastic beautiful wonderful car and again this thing's gonna be for sale but we're gonna convert it first because i think as a manual this is gonna be just perfect oh it's gonna be fantastic so hopefully that
