we have the enzo ferrari

[scumdog]

Me'n my son were in the Mistral heading into "The Hollow Man" town yesterday and blew a Mercedes into the weeds - yes, he WAS 'giving it a go'

Boy, am I glad I'm SO MATURE!!!

[Ixion]

THAT CAME OUT IN 2002 , WELL THE NEW GT40 IS OUT , WHY DIDNT THEY CALL IT THE "HENRY" INSTEAD? OR MAYBE THEY SHOULD START MAKING THE ANGLIA AGAIN AND CALL THAT "THE HENRY" . THE ANGLIA OR MK1 CORTINA ARE MORE LIKE A HENRY I SUPOSE

Nah, I reckon the HENRY would be the XA Falcon. Henry would have liked that car I reckon.

For me it was a 'Bonus Built' '48 Ford F-1 truck, I always thought that overhead valve engines were a passing fad.....

FALCONS??? a flighty passing fad for those that thought that less than eight cylinders and more then four doors was a necessity.....

Of course my indulgence in 'Famous Grouse' may not have enhanced my thought process- but that's YOUR opinion!!

More than four doors ?On an XA ? How much of the FG have you had ? Theydid come with V8s (the XA) by the way.

I like side valves m'self. Nice and simple and torquey. Never figured out why they went out of fashion.

And I wish someone would explain to me what is the point of sticking an overhead cam is a DIESEL. Given that side valves can handle 4000 rpm OK and OHV 6000. And a diesel revs to what ? with it's OHC.

Some good points Mr I, as I'm a US car fan I struggle to accept XA onwards 'coons!!
However any Henry product is OK by me!!

Too true about diesel Over-Head cam set-ups, my sv V8's would pull 5,500 - even in reverse!!
My Mistral is good for 7,000rpm but the hydraulic tappets don't like it!

And mt FG whiskey helps me no end!! ( where is Dangerous when I need him??)

Funny enough , yesterday in the courtyard below our appartment was a GT40 , Nice car but I think I'd prefer the 60's version. Had a good look around one a few weeks backat a bike and car show. They are selling for upward of 175,000 pounds because supply hasn't met demand. The show also had the Prototype PS Ducati.

[Lou Girardin]

Imagine naming a car after your son, then putting a grill on it that looks like a vagina.

BTW. I'd love to see the N/A street V8 that can RELIABLY put out 1000hp.
Most are limited to 1hp per cubic inch.

[James Deuce]

Boss at work has just sold his Geniune BDA1600 MK1 RS Escort $66K I believe was paid for it . Only one in the Southern Hemisphere Fuck nothing sounds like a BDA at 8000PM

Especially with straight pipes about two feet from your head. Eh? What's that sonny? Speak up!

After the Edsel,Ford don't use their family members names on cars anymore

[Pixie]

The GT-500E, as it's known, comes in three flavors - the $80,000 base model, a $120,000 Performance Package and the $150,000 Super Snake. Powering the $80K Eleanor is a 302-cid V-8 rated at 325 horsepower and backed up by an automatic or four-speed manual transmission. A custom deluxe black vinyl dresses up the interior, which also benefits from a race-style rollbar, full gauges, a CD stereo system and air conditioning. Outside, the GT-500E is decked out with the same custom-fabricated fiberglass spoilers and scoops, quick-fill gas cap, side-exit exhaust pipes and driving lights Eleanor wore in the movie. Seventeen-inch Edelbrock alloy wheels take the place of the similar Schmidt rims used on the original.

Stepping up to the Performance Package nets everything in the base model plus a 351-cid/430-horsepower V-8, nitrous oxide injection, a six-speed manual transmission and a laundry list of parts that would seem more at home on a NASCAR stocker than a street car. The GT-500E Super Snake features a supercharged 427-cid aluminum V-8 cranking out 750 horsepower.

Super Snake:

And still has horse-and-cart rear suspension

No but one of my sons has that name!!

It means 'deep thinker' if you look it up.

BTW Edsel was responsible for beautiful cars such as the '33-'34 Ford V8, his abilities were quashed by a domineering old man, I recommend reading the book 'FORD' to find out more.

[WINJA]

Does it have people killers? Suppose you had better go first to give a better representation (no people killer cheating). Then Motu can take out the parts that are left.


EDIT:
Biff... ohhh boy my fav ferrari there. Friggen wank material that is.

And WINJA "I SAW A VIDEO OF A SUPRA EVERYDAY DRIVE CAR WITH A 1000+ HP , FUCKEN FAST AND RELIABLE"

They will have turned the boost down so its probably running 'only' 400-500 or something. Otherwise it would blow up on the Northern going to work every day.

TWAS JAPANESE AND YOUD BE SUPRISED WHAT THEY USE ON THE ROAD

Four valve heads, fewer moving parts, variable cam timing. I am coming from a BMW DOHC point of view though
