The TR was probably an American spec car. More than a few pounds heavier than a Euro version. The exhaust alone weighs a zillion pounds. Four cats, big honking muffler, thermocouples, pipes out the wazzoo. I had Ferrari of San Francisco yank mine in favor of something less legal and it was shipped to me in a wooden crate big enough for a homeless couple to call home.
The TR is aluminum as well; they just used steel for the roof skin and doors, for safety.
Regardless, a Boxer was more a piece of art, still with individual differences from one example to the next in the manner of the Ferraris of the past, and a TR was what I think was the first really modern car Ferrari had built, built in large numbers and mostly the same from one to the next.
