More than I can afford, pal.

[Gusto]

sick!!! That is a sexy looking car!

[Spotless]

That is a sexy car, and a work of art, most Ferraris are, but as for the engine...





800 + hp @ 9000rpm with pushrods and a carb... = win.

so...lemme get this straight...your comparing a racecar engine to a street car engine?

I dont think those are street car engines.

I dont think those are street car engines.

Ferrari = street car
Ford/Chevy engine = Nascar

Its all about technology, when Italy can make a pushrod V8 with a carb, talk to me. How good would a ferrari engine be without a computer??? what about a carburetor?

Like I said, the car is beautiful, and the engine is impressive, but we can do more with less.

I do like the "oh shit" foot plate for the passenger.

Cause Ferrari's have always been made with computers.

give me a break Wes.

and just because they CHOOSE to make cars with 4 cams, doesnt mean they cant make it with 1. Lets see nascar make a 800 quad cam....oh wait, they cant cause tehy dont?

Old ferraris went down in a ball of flames as the ford gt40 lapped them, and you saw the carb restricters on the gm race engines at RA, how much power do you think they would make without them? 900hp.. 1000hp?

With 4 cams??? holy shit b, prolly 1750.. at the wheels.

nope. They dont make them, so they obviously cant. According to your logic. Right? If they dont do it, it clearly means they cant......

I'm 100% positive they can. You'd be dumb to doubt that.

A ferrari needs an engine that matches the car... art and flash. It's definitely better looking.



but this will keep right up, and for the sake of simplicity.. what couldn't you fix on this with a pliers and screwdriver?

Your exactly right, you'd be dumb to think a company could do something that simple...your exactly right.

Glad you see how dumb that statement is....

So ferrari complicates things for appearance. I get it.
