Couldnt an Enzo beat a NASCAR?

For someone who never turned a wrench or did anything in thier life, you sure have a lot of nothing to say. Glad your two second search taught you more than anyone else in the universe knows, you must be a God. I would imagine your two second conversation with Jay Leno must have catapulted you into stardom as well.

As for me, I know what I know. If I didnt intend to put it to practice or didnt care to, thats my deal. I seen enough carnage and death to last three lifetimes. I seen buddies disingrate with thier cars and went to more than enough closed casket funerals. And when GV died I closed the freaken garage door and took a different course. Now go take your condesending attitude and your condescending remarks and stick it. Calling people names and arguing about things you have no background or experience in just shows your adolescence.

 

You know, I realized last night that I have a friend who builds engines for everything under the sun from American V8's to V12 Ferrari engines, Porsche engines to old Rolls Royce engines. He basically restores old exotics and builds replicas with V12 Jaguar or V12 Ferrari engines. He's even building an old Merc sled for another friend. On this particular block I helped out when I could. He's also a budding racer who purchased an old stock car and guess what? He's not building that engine. A professional shop specialzing in NASCAR engines is. So, last night as I was pondering your assinine statements I thought why would Chris who builds engines for a living not build his own NASCAR engine? Could it be that there is just a biiiit more to it? Surely if he could slap something together from 1960's parts as you say can be done for todays NASCAR races he would.

I turn a wrench on exactly two cars. My Audi S4 and my Porsche 928. That alone does not give me a background in engine building. You can save your sob stories on why you did or did not do whatever is in your life for someone else. They're just excuses and as you point out, you don't owe me anything even though by your last paragraph you clearly think you do.

It is clear that you make no sense. Even to yourself. I'm done. Last word is yours to have.

 

Here is a little tangent of a Ferrari on an oval and it's reults. Anyone remeber this one? It was in Rosso Magazine.

Michelin Pilot Sets New Speed Record

30 October, 1998

A Ferrari 550 Maranello fitted with Michelin tyres has smashed three existing speed records on the oval circuit of the Transportation Research Centre in Ohio, USA.

The records, approved by the SCCA and FIA and under the scrutiny of Quattroruote Magazine established new speeds of 304,138kph over 100 kms, 306,037 kph over 100 miles and a record distance travelled in one hour of 296,406 km.

The previous records established by a prototype Chevrolet Corvette were 278,156 kph, 282,592kph and 280,835 km respectively.

Driver Duillio Truffo, director of the driver training centre at Monza made the attempt on behalf of Quattroruote Magazine scoring the fastest speeds for 100 km and 100 miles. He was assisted by American driver Csaba Csere of Car and Driver Magazine for the successful attempt for the maximum kilometres completed in one hour.

The Michelin tyres fitted to the Ferrari were 235/45 R18 Pilot SX MXX3 on the front and 295/35R18 Pilot SX MXX3 on the rear.

According to both drivers the choice of Michelin tyres assisted considerably in the success of the event due to the minimal change in temperatures and pressures evidenced by the tyres during the challenge.
