...The EV has more power, torque, 0-60, 0-100 than the Ferrari, only lagging by 11 mph in terms of top speed...

Tesla panache: 0

Ferrari panache: ∞

In the 1971 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, Brock Yates and Dan gurney drove a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 from NYC to Redondo Beach (2,863) in 35 hours 54 minutes (somewhat slowed by snow in the Rocky mountains), including fuel stops.

You’re luck if you can put a full charge on a Tesla in 36 hours.

"... from NYC to Redondo Beach (2,863 miles) in 35 hours 54 minutes...."

Fixed it for myself.

Ferrari, if you build an V12 pick up truck, I’d buy it. You could name it the Greta V12.🤓 Or the AlGore...🤓

Most car companies go racing to help them sell cars. Ferrari sells cars to raise money to go racing. Enzo Ferrari started selling cars because racing is expensive. Lesson I learned back in the 1960s. Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?

1994 Ferrari Tipo 043 3.5 V12 engine; the most powerful 3.5-litre engine in F1 history By the end of the 1994 season, Ferrari’s Tipo 043 V12 was putting out around 850 hp (634 kW) [27] @ 15,800 rpm, which is to date the most-powerful naturally-aspirated V12 engine ever used in Formula One.

..and the screaming howl of that motor is still the greatest man-made music to date.

I guess some people would rather listen to a whining golf cart.

I’m pretty sure they don’t even like the hybrid crap forced on them by F1.

Fixed.

I love the opening scene in "Cannonball Run" with the Lamborghini Countach...

Under Pressure: The Importance of Getting the Right Amount of Spring Pressure

https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2017/07/pressure-importance-getting-right-amount-spring-pressure/

At some point on the RPM scale, positive air pressure must be assisted, and the valve springs have to be the extraordinary springs that survived break-in testing.

I would assume that Ferrari uses a special purpose machine for breaking-in valve springs.

“It is the client who must choose if they want an ICE (internal combustion engine), a hybrid or an electric car.” Serving its clients and giving them what they want has long been a successful strategy for the company.

BLASPHEMY! St. Greta is gonna scowl at you so hard...
