Jack lets not forget AAC's first car was a modified Fiat and Lambo's a modified fiat!!!! by the way have located an original 1947/8 125 brochure, but its got holes punched in it (it's in with a load of stuff from an estate sale) any idea if its something to be kept or sold? (without out holes its worth a 30k service!) | ||

Perhaps this is why lambo never won any F1 races:  it "does not bear any resemblence to any winning F1 car" But back to the statement: Actually, the whole back end of an F355/F348 bears remarkable resemblance to any mid 1970's F1 race cars. From the engine size, RPM band, Valvetrain layout, suspension geometry, brake technology. It took Ferrari 20 years to engineer it to the point where it was appropriate for street cars with emissions control and 100,000 mile driving lifetime (minimum). | ||

It's good you finally had the courage to come clean, Ellen. Now, the next step is to learn that, if you were TRULY solid in your beliefs & convictions about that fine tractor company, you would not need tp post nearly so many messages attacking Ferraris. Now would you? Methinks thou doth protesteth WAY too much, by half!     | ||

Hubert, if it makes you feel better to spend mega money on non-performing streetcars that share nothing in common with F1 cars, but be able to say the manufacturer won F1, then so be it. Doesnt mean anything to me. That would be like running out to buy a ford, chevy or dodge because they won Nascar. But i understand, you have to be able to say SOMETHING good about modern F-cars, since they are underperforming, uninspired streetcars!  | ||

Lambo (NOT Lamborghini!) competed in 6 Grand Prix... (using Lamborghini engines) The cars were entered by Modena Team SpA. Lamborghini engines competed in 80 GP's. Ferrari does NOT have F1 racers from the pre-WW1 or even pre-WW2 era... Ferrari started in 1947 and F1 itself didn't start until 1950... If you talk to Gerard Larousse, he can probably sell you the so desired Lamborghini engines as he should still have a bunch of them tucked away somewhere. Jack 1991 Lambo-Lamborghini:  | ||

Allan to whom do I inquire about getting a championship winning Lambo F1 car -- or even a campaigned Lambo F1 car? I've seen about 2 Diablo GTR racers for sale, but they're already sold. Seems like the Ferrari factory has got F1 racers , but holds onto the winning cars, and is keeping the '99, '00, '01, '02 and '03 chassis'. Would Lambo/AUDI/VW be willing to sell me a spare F1 champioship contender? TIA. -hubert | ||

Joe, I think it's mor efun joshing than any real animosity. At least it is for me. I love modern Lambo's--Murc & Gallardo. Not a huge fan of Diablo's, although my friend Luigi's gorgeous blue one (without Bling) in Houston has made me rethink that. Never cared for the Countach at all. LOVE the Muira and some of the old 3500GT's & 5000GT's. Ellen, good point. I do not drive with that tag in my car. But it's nice to know that my car is infused with technology and know-how gained from winning a whole lot of world championships. Could Ferrari do it w/o MS? Probably not...but who knows? Could any winning team win without good drivers? Unlikely, too. It is the combination which makes championships, IMO. The car makes the driver great, and the driver makes the car great. And so far, a certain maker of fine tractors hasn't ever drunk from that chalice...   | ||
