What's the difference between a Ferrari V8 engine and a Ford (or Holden) V8?

They're both V8s. Is it the twin turbochargers? Fuel injection? If I put on a Ford or Holden V8 motor, what a Ferrari V8 engine has on it, would it perform the same as a Ferrari V8?





What makes the difference? Can I buy a cheap V8 engine and turn it into a super-car engine? If not, why not?|||its all about desighn and how well crafted the engine is. i have a lexus v8 that gives 300hp and 310lb of torgue. without killing the mpg. so the 3 main peices of design for engines is hp torque and mpg. alot of engines can easily be reworked by pros to get alot more power without spending to much $$$. such as i have a techer who had a guy work on his dodge ram 2500 deisel engine and it cost a good bit and im not sure of what all was done but it has over 1000hp now. so you can work a v8 to be much more powerfull (especisally deisel) but farrari has some of the best pros doingt hat along with the best parts for the rest of the car. so dont expect a farrari sound or power. you can expect maybe twice your hp if your good at it|||Ferrari V8's are very different than a Ford V8. Think precision engineering. Ferrari's cost more money for a reason. There is no way you could get the same power and precision out of a Ford Engine. Ferraris usually also come naturally-aspirated.

How to become a Ferrari or porsche mechanic?

I've ALWAYS wanted to work on exotics, but have favored both ferrari and porsche.. But idk how to get into the field, I'm 18 so I've got some time to learn.. Any info will be greatly appreciated! Thanks :) |||i think you need to actually have worked on one before...|||Generally, you go to school to become a mechanic, like a community college that offers automotive. Next, you get employed at one of the dealers, and if you do well as a class C mechanic, you will probably be asked to further your education, that is often going to the factory to learn about the cars and work on them. At least that is what the techs at my garage have done, and they work on Audi, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and VW.|||ITT in Chicago, or look into a trade school that specializes in them. They are out there, then find out what you need to do to get in to the school.. that's a right out of high school thing you are prime for that education go for it.





I hired two mechanics straight from ITT CHicago and they may have been a little green on the shop sense but in the engine and drive train they know what they were doing, Then I sent them to the Porsche school and a Mercedes school and they are tops... Great kids.|||Go to UTI technical school or Lincoln Technical institute to learn how to become a mechanic specializing in certain types of cars or manufacturers.|||Luck. thats a serious answer by the way...|||work on cars. then get a job. state your experience with them.

Formula one racing how much longer do we have to put up with Ferrari cheating?

At least the new teams try to compete but how do you compete against teams like ferrari with the financial backing that they have and the new boss of racing is ex ferrari.|||I am sorry to say I think F1 is all about money ~ Ferrari have the money which gives them the power ~ I was gutted about what went on yesterday ~ the end of the race was just a parade ~ and not exciting for the fans at all ~ Ferrari cheated the fans out of a proper race ~ and also anyone who bet any money was also cheated ~|||Yes it WAS cheating. A clear and deliberate breach of Rule 39.1. If the FIA do not hold an enquiry and take further action their new hope of credibility is destroyed. I have been involved in legal proceedings for years and the various inconsistent and politicised decisions of that body in the past are contemptible. Anyone who considers that Ferrari are not at the forefront of behind the scenes manipulation is a blinkered camp follower or is not accustomed to reading the goings on of big business. They won't impress me if they get a one two in every race. Yes, all the teams indulge in wheeler dealing and sending each other up which has always been part of the sport. But this is something different. Totally pre meditated unlike some other ocurrences, when people have on the spur of the moment tried to cover up a wrong decision because they have panicked.|||If you're referring to today's "race" where Massa was ordered to let Alonzo pass, it wasn't exactly cheating. But, it sure didn't look good.





This has always been a problem in F-1 as long as teams have run more than 1 car. There have always been "team orders" where teams favor their driver who has the better chance to win, or finish higher, in the driver championship, to get that driver max points.





That being said, it sure doesn't help the image of F-1 that this is allowed to go on (and today was pretty blatant). When people pay to see an F-1 race, or watch it on TV, they should expect to get a competive RACE where the finish is not pre-determined. In theory, team orders are not allowed, but everyone knows they exist.





I don't know what the solution is to this problem. Maybe each car should be a completely seperate team (but then you get into the problem of not being able to share expenses by running multiple cars as a team).





All I know, is that I did not like seeing what I saw today (and you could see what was going to happen before it took place) and Ferrari should be ashamed that they fixed the order of the finish.





If winners in F-1 are going to pre-determined, and the drivers are not allowed to race, then F-1 faces the real possibility of being taken as seriously as professional wrestling.|||its not just ferrari all teams do it you can't seriouslly think that no other teams cheat or alter the truth what about when hamilton jumped the safety car to get second got a drive through and stayed second or when hamilton lied to the steward when they had proof of what he said on the radio but he was lying to try and get away with it and had to make a formal apolgy. or when nelson piquet jr crashed on purpose so alonso could win when at renault ad it changed the whole world championship and massa didnt win it because of that and hamilton when he shouldnt of.





and all teams have a limit on how much they can spend on the cars so ferrari cant spend all the maney that they wan and they arent even the richest teams they can hardly afford to keep racing in formula 1 thats why the nearly didnt race this year people like the virgin cars and red bull and maclaren are the richest|||It is not cheating when you have money. In previous years the Toyota team had the most money, and were not very successful. McLaren, Red Bull, Williams, Mercedes all have money. Even Virgin has that billionaire guy.|||With any luck one of both of the Ferrari drivers will be disqualified when the FIA meets regarding that cheating of which you speak.|||What i think is out of order is that I had money on Massa to win that race...


What do I get back back ...nowt!!!


Shocking... they should be ashamed of themselves


It was embarrassing watching them being interviewed after it.. acting like nothing happened.


something has gotta be done otherwise no-one will watch|||Massa, Alonso and ferrari cheated and unless the result is declared void, both drivers and Ferrari suspended then F1 is just as corrupt as they are!!





It is pointless watching any sport that is so easily corrupted!!!|||What other teams are heavily disciplined for Ferrari always seem to escape!!





But how can F1 keep any credibility of the cheating team and both cheating drivers that fixed the result of the race get away with it?!!|||Sorry but probably as long as we have to put up with Hamilton being the golden boy and getting away lightly with everything he does!|||How much longer do we have to put up with Alonso cheating?|||the rest of the field is far from flawless when it comes to rules. watch some of the crap Lewis Hamilton gets away with before you start calling others cheaters. Ferrari didn't win like 70% of the races from 2000-2004 simply because they "cheat" with team orders, both cars were miles ahead of everyone else. i dont like team orders either, but i wouldn't call it 'cheating', they've had team orders since the first season and they'll have them until the last season.|||Why is it that every Brit-based team sucks so bad,


even when they have the financial backing of the government?|||So mclaren never cheat eh? whatever





F1 would be nothing without Ferrari so deal with it

Is there a way to tame Ferrari Yellow High Heels?

I've got this great pair of Ferrari Yellow high heels and they look great with that little black dress of mine. These shoes look dangerious, but they are so comfy, and I want to wear them to work...any suggestions on how to tame them into business atire?|||Wear then with a very conservatively cut black or charcoal suit and a single matching accessory (Ferrari yellow scarf, for example) Go fairly conservative on your makeup except for a very red lipcolour.


Don't even try to tame these shoes,just make them the "punch" of your outfit and wear them proudly! (I'm jealous, my canary yellow heels perished in a roof leak fiasco and I've been unable to replace them)|||I suggest pairing these heels with a subdued outfit. A neutral (black, grey, even brown or tan) colored pantsuit, or a demure skirt suit (preferrably a pencil skirt, definitely something straight); both would work well. Be sure that your clothing is subdued yet stylish. Meaning; no embroidery, stitching, or eyelets. Sleek elgonated lines will help you look your most professional. Keep your accessories very simple; a pair of studs and a watch is enough. That day I would even carry a simple bag, also in a neutral shade.


Confidence and a strut is all the accessorizing those shoes need.


Work it, girlie!!|||Wear them with dress slacks that are long enough to cover them a little.

What companies can insure a Ferrari or Lamborghini?

Progressive, Geico, eSurance, all the crap didn't even list Ferrari, as its a "specialty" car. So who the hell DOES insure a ferrari? and how much does it cost annually? its a ferrari 360 modena convertible|||If you have the money to buy such a car the you are one of the lucky ones. That would mean you are rich enough that you would not be required to carry insurance. You would have the money to pay for any accidents or if someone sued you it would not be a problem for you.|||you will have thru a insurance agency they have pretty good contacts men they insure legs teeth smiles and the most ridiculous stuff you ever imagine.|||Sometimes its hard to find an insurer for an exotic vehicle, I had the same trouble with a Pantara, a few years ago, so I asked my business partner and he told me about Lloyds of London that has a division that handles exotic cars, collections and antique vehicles.





I got full coverage for the vehicle, costing me about $1,250 a month, but when you consider the original cost of the car, the full coverage insurance is well worth the high monthly payments.

Does the Ferrari cam changeover similar to the VTEC in Honda?

I was listening to several Ferrari dynos and it sounds as if the there is a change in the cam profile like with Honda's VTEC/iVTEC motors. Is this accurate? There are many similarities in the way the high strung B16 and b18 motors are built as compared to the Ferrari motor. Just wondering.|||Same principle. The Ferrari can vary its valve timing (and valve lift) much like a Honda iVtec engine can to have a hotter cam profile available at higher RPM while remaining emissions legal and smooth and driveable at lower RPM too. The changeover is phased and gradual like an iVTEC, not just on/off at a set RPM like the earlier VTEC Honda engines (like the B16 that went to the hot cam very noticeably right at 5500rpm). The Ferrari also has a muffler bypass that opens the exhaust with large throttle openings at higher RPM to enhance the sound further (and slightly increase hp at higher RPM too).

How much does a Ferrari cost?

I just want to know how much a red Ferrari cost because there really good sports cars and I'd like to know how much they cost cause there really good cars and I'd like one.|||Although they may cost a dime, you must check out this one-


http://indianautosblog.com/2008/08/enzo-鈥?/a>





Very weird and you got a lambo hidden somewhere in it too!|||It depends on the model, but you are looking at at least 拢100,000 ($200,000) for a basic model. if you want extras, you will have to pay for them.





Not only that, but you have to insure it and Ferrari's (and all super cars) are in the highest insurance bracket so it will be expensive (assuming of course you can find an insurance company who will insure you)





They typically have v-16 engines so they go through a lot of fuel.





Ferrari's need a lot of work done to keep them at their peak so you can also expect to have to service it regularly at a Ferrari dealership so that will be another cost.





If all this is too much and you decide to sell it, you will find the depreciation is terrible and they do not hold their value.





You could buy an old one, but on the British TV show "Top gear" they bought old supercars for 拢10,000 and they were basically crocks. None of them managed a day without breaking down.





Basically Ferrari's are pitched to people with net worth of about 拢50 million.





They are gorgeous cars though. I have seent hem up close and they are truly gorgeous|||There are different models and they go from $183,000 to 2 million.





The cheapest is the Ferrari F430.


The most expensive is the Ferrari Enzo, which they stopped making.





There are 4 other Ferrari models.





Maintenance and insurance is $25,000 per year. If you do NOT get them serviced according to Ferrari owners manual at a Ferrari dealer, then they take your car back and they will not let you buy one of their cars.|||The cost varies depending on which one. But you are looking at about US$200,000 for the "entry" model F430, and the prices go up from there. There can at times be a waiting list. The new 599 GTB Fiorano sold out in a lot of countries before the first one arrived at showrooms. You don't have to be a previous owner to buy one, but for the Ferrari Enzo you had to be invited by Ferrari and have a proven history of Ferrari ownership. If you want a second hand one it would probably set you back about $US700,000 at least. Some classic Ferrari's will set you back even more.|||As I mentioned earlier to some one, if you have to ask the price you can't afford it.


Still it's nice to dram, but consider this, an F has a staggering rate of acceleration from standstill,probably around 4 to 5 seconds to do 0 to 60 mph.


My lille old Bm bike with a little old 1150cc motor only does 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and cost a heck of lot less that an F.


So who needs an F?|||Almost around 1.2 million dollars. They are really expensive but great cars. However, I prefer the Lamborghini. This is my opinion though. But, Ferraris cost over a million dollars.|||Depends on where you live, but in America, they are about as much as a house. But there is a big demand for Ferrari, so even if you pay the money, you would have to wait (2 years for the 599).


|||These fall into the category of, "If you have to ask, you can't afford one."





It's also pitifully easy to find prices on the Internet.|||about 6 months ago i saw a 1991 Ferrari 355 for sale in my area for $42,000. since your asking this question it sounds like this one might be the only one you could ever afford|||6 Figures most likely, unless you're buying a used, older model one.|||in the 6 figures|||A lot.|||about 20 pound

Is the new Ferrari 458 going to save Europe?

First it was the Corvette Z06. Now its the Nissan GTR. Both have been breaking records round the Nurburgring and making those Ferrari owners question the point in their 6 figure investment.





Will the new Ferrari 458 'Italia' do what it needs to and move the goalposts? The stats say it should, but what do you think?|||I think it would.Ferraris are fast so why wouldn't the 458 be fast? Its a lot faster than an F430 so I think it should.But, with a 6figure price tag, ahhmmm........I'll probably get something cheaper like the Corvette ZR1 which is more than 100 grand less than what the 458 likely cost.The GTR is fast but the ZR1 is faster.I've heard that the current record holder is the 600hp ACR Dodge Viper with a time of 7:22.1 so probably the 458 can tie that.Wait a minute.There is something Europe can do to compete against the Japanese and Americans.Their diesel engines, particularly the one in the Audi R10.|||Depends on price. The GTR is a killer at $80k. The Z06 is cheaper than that, the ZR1 a little more.





I didn't know Ferrari owners cared about Ring numbers. Most of the guys I know who have them are interested in other things. Its the guys in the lesser cars who seem to get all wound up over lap times of a track they will never drive except on Gran Turismo.

Is it true that if youu want to buy a Ferrari, beside a lot of money, u need to take a special driving course?

I heard that even if you have money you cannot buy a new Ferrari car just like that.... you need to take special training provided by Ferrari, and that is a condition, if it`s your first Ferrari car.|||Nope. It's not required, but is highly recommended. The Ferrari driving school is located in Italy. It has been operating for 13 years. A new one is opening up in a Canadian ski town in a few weeks. The new course in Canada costs U.S. $8,200. Like the school in Italy, the Canadian facilities include a race track.





Here's another interesting tidbit: One cannot order a new Maybach without being approved by the manufacturer first.|||i own a shop and i have never heard of that before ,but i suppose its possible,but then i don't know too many people that own one,but its possible because that car is very different than any of the other ones are ,good luck hope this helps.|||Not really...

Was Ferrari sandbagging in the Monza tests last week?

I know it was only a test but it greatly helps morale and shows the fans of visible power.





I know McLaren is smart...and that this was only a test where aerodynamic and other configurations are tested. But look at the media already talking big things about the so-called "McLaren domination" at Monza!





I know my team is in excellent spirits but with Ferrari not rearing it's head even once in the 3 days of testing, I am very suspicious. I smell something here.





It's pretty obvious that Ferrari has ironed out it's reliability problems and the F2007 is poised for an awesome battle with McLaren in the remaining grands prix.





Anyway, so was Ferrari sandbagging? Or were they genuinely testing and did not care to see their name on top?





I look forward to your answers!|||It's good to see a fan of a rival team showing a healthy fear, respect and paranoia, just as I feel alarmed about McLaren's domination at the Monza test.


I think the times set on the 4th and final day are probably most representative of the current form. McLaren on top, and Ferrari just 4/1000th of a second behind in second, and BMW a further 3/10th back in 3rd. McLaren might be a little bit more ahead of the red cars than a mere 4/1000th, as Pedro was the driver on the 4th day.


I think there was just a little bit of sand bagging going on in the first 3 days though....especially day 2 (Kimi 5th, behind the McLaren 1-2, BMW and most tellingly, a Toyota in 4th!), and day 3 (Massa 4th behind BMW and a surprise Red Bull....Massa was a massive 1.035 sec off the pace).


There was a bit of rain as well which probably affected the track surface and rubbering in.


The geneal trend that I have observed this year in most race weekends is that the McLarens start the Fridays very strong, whereas Ferrari seem to struggle a little with grip (or lack thereof) at the beginning. Also, Ferrari seem to have slightly better pace and consistency over longer runs, and they tend to come good as the track gets rubbered in more. They are also a bit weaker than the Silver cars in the wet.


So, the results that we have seen from the 4 days of testing appear to follow that trend, whether or not they were sand bagging.


BMWs are a threat though...I remember in last year's race, they qualified very high up in the grid with quite a heavy fuel load, and kept Massa behind for a long time. LH, FA, FM and KR will have to be very careful not to get beaten off the start line by the boys from Hinwil.


I don't think much has changed. There is very little separating the championship contenders (in terms of pace, not points). As a Ferrari fan, I would like to think that the red cars are faster than the silver ones, but only time will tell.


As far as the championship is concerned, Ferrari will have to get a few more 1-2's without a slip up, and hope that the McLarens will come to a stand still with smoke coming out of their engines a couple of times. Chances of that happening? Sadly, slim.


And I have the feeling that Ron will get his 15 points back too.......|||Maybe, or simply they feel their Monza package is already set and they were working on something else for the other four remaining races; or fuel calculations, or anything. For all we know they spent the time making a better race strategy.





RP|||well ull never know wid ferrari


tat jean todt is a super slueth


no one ever i mean ever knows wat he is upto


if there is anyone in ferrari i like its him


his strategies is wat has made ferrari wat it is and schumi wat HE is|||i dont think ferrari are sand bagging as they tested new aero parts to suit monza standards, it would be a wasted test session if ferrari were sand bagging|||ferrari and tactics no|||Most likely, Ferrari are on 110% alert at Monza (Ferrari 1-2 in '88 for example).


The momentum is with them but I think McLaren will walk it this weekend.|||Kimi will win in monza!|||I guess its giving you the shivers, right, McLaren?





Sadly, the reports and observations suggests otherwise. Looks like the Ferrari's new aero package, the new oil and certain 2008 specs systems are not working as expected. Finally we are beaten at our strengths, high speed tracks.





I would love to have known that the red racers were having full tanks and letting McLarens have a false sense of security. :-(





But then there is one more shakedown coming up, rest easy till then.


--------- -------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------ -------------


Marc McLaren, you should be a bit worried. Team McLaren haven't touched the cup since Mika lost it, 8 years is a long wait and we can still crash your party. Wait till this thursday and Luca Badoer will be testing the modified package. And I hate to mention this spoiler, the following thursday is the judgement day. Monza could as well be team McLaren's last chance of glory this year.|||I don't think so. I think Mclaren somehow managed to improve their cars on high-speed tracks. I am a conspiracy theorist and I am skeptical how Mclaren has made such massive improvements this year . . . and then the news about them having Ferrari secrets (which they claim they did not use) surfaces.





If Ferrari were sandbagging, they were doing it a lot because even BMW seemed as fast as them. I think Ferrari's championship ends at Monza. Actually, I am a realist. It ended a few races ago.|||the might well have been. they are usually pretty strong at monza. maybe they were just working on one or two particular things and not bothered about being the fastest. we will find out next Sunday one way or the other. as a fellow McLaren fan i hope they weren't lol.|||sorry sir|||I doubt Ferrari was sandbagging. they may not go full throttle but they certainly won't hold back that much. They still are among the fastest. Maybe they are just taking precautions as Monza is a very high-speed track and they don't want to risk any incidents. WAit till the weekend.......

If Michael was in the Ferrari this year would Mclaren even be in contention for the championship?

Mclaren has had an amazing year. But in my opinion Ferrari has 2 mediocre drivers. Massa is ok. Raikonnen is a hack who couldnt win in champ car.|||Michael's influence on the team canot be underestimated. Poor reliability? Michael says "Let's improve the reliability" and the team would have worked even harder than they have this year.


Michael also would have been the clear Number 1, with preferential strategies and therefore more wins and points.


His ability to develop the car through his feedback to the engineers is sorely missed at Maranello this year.


I'm not sure if having Michael alone would enable Ferrari to win this year, but surely, it would be very close!|||schumi was the best ever, no one can replace him, if he was here, mc laren wouldnt have a chance in hell|||Hard to say of course, I have always liked Riakonnen. But I understand where you're coming from on this. I Don't think the Ferrari Michael combo is was or would be beatable. In a way it's good to see different drivers winning races.


So i guess my answer is they may be in contention for the championship. But it would certainly be a very different picture.|||He might be making it more close than are Raikkonen and Massa, but McLaren is on a flow year in the team's regular ebb and flow. And they have the drivers delivering the wins. For sure he would have to battle hard with Alonso who had the measure of him last year. Hamilton he might be able to scare, who knows?





Raikkonen a "hack" eh? Hmm... he's third among active drivers for career wins (Alonso 19, DC 13), he is tied for 19th on the All Time F1 wins list with Mario Andretti, Carlos Reutemann, and Alan Jones--rate any of them hacks? He's also tied with Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Jacky Ickx, Jacques Villeneuve, Rubens Barrichello, and Juan Pablo Montoya for (also) 19th in All Time Pole Positions (tied with RB for 2nd among active drivers). Still think he's a hack?


(and I don't even consider myself a fan of KR, but sure as heck don't think he's a hack who couldn't win in Champ Car).





Also, back on track with the original question, remember that in 2005 Schumacher was gifted his one win of the season. He's not the only element in the Ferrari success of the past few years.





RP|||I don't know...hard to say... I believe Schumy would have beaten very well McLaren this year. But why do you say that Raikkonen is a hack, when he has more points than Massa? I am neither a Ferrari fan, nor a McLaren one, but I have been watching F1 for many years, and I think you are a little bit wrong here.|||This is a strange measure of one driver (Massa) that was consistently faster than Michael at the end of last season, and a driver (Raikonnen) who has shown great pace, including in races against Schumacher!





Michael was, and likely still is, a great driver. However in terms of driving ability, I think he would at best measure even with the two very good drivers Ferrari currently maintains. Compared to these drivers, he doesn't have the same commitment - clearly shown by the fact that he is retired, but he does have greater involvement in working with the car and the team than Kimi, and is much more consistent than Felipe.





What he might of offered the team would have been input to help improve the car, which has long been a strength! While Massa has worked on, and improved in this area, Kimi has never been known to provide much help in getting the car developed. Michael would have certainly added here, but this assumes that Massa and Raikonnen have in fact been the bottle necks in improving the car. It's reasonable to assume Michael would be an improvement here, but it's possible too that with Brawn and other changes to the team, that his input would not have actually resulted in quicker changes or better development.|||well with the risk of upsetting my Ferrari supporting friends (please don't lynch me) if Michael was driving i think the McLarens would still be dominating. maybe they would have come off a few times with Michael's habit of nurfing drivers who are beating him (Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve etc). besides that Fernando already beat him twice.|||It would be a better yr for Ferrari thats for sure, and it would be fun watching Lewis Hamilton beat ole Schmacher a couple times and possibly the championship...Massa is okay but he needs to get alot better... I don't think Michael will come out of retirement to drive again..|||He might be a little closer to the McLaren's but I still don't think he would be leading the points. The F2007 Ferrari has just had too many reliability problems.





After all, Michael got beat in 2005 and 2006 by a Renault which is now struggling to hang on to 4th place in the Constructor's Championship and these McLarens are much better than those Renaults Alonso drove.|||Insurance would be more expensive because there would be more "accidents" in the tracks. LOL.


Who knows? It is the typical, who is better Pele or Kaka? or Jordan or Lebron James? It doesn't matter anymore. Ferrari doesn't have a good car this year and they need to use all the tricks to win outside the track.|||I completely agree with rockpool248. The team would have made a lot more effort to improve the performance and reliability of the cars and his feedback is like no other driver i have ever heard of. Schumacher would be right up there with lewis and alonso, not left behind like massa and kimi.|||No.and,It amazes me some of the responses here.for the person that said alonso beat shumacher in the Renault ,but this year the Renault sucks.so Shumacher wouldn`t stand a chance against Mclaren.do you understand F1? just because the 2006 Renault was good doesn`t mean this years would have been the same .and anyway,Alonso did beat Shumacher twice,fine.look what Shumacher has done in F1 and how many records he broke and championships he won,he was champion for 5 straight years,and just because the next 2 years he came 2nd people make fun of him,for those people i say get a dam life.give he guy the respect he is due. and back to the question .I think he would be leading the championship,but would be close.. and also,the other thing i wanted to say.cars change from year to year,but it takes talent to make the most from the car,and Shumacher was amazing in that,the best all round driver in the history of F1.he maybe gone but all you haters of him can never take away what he has done in F1.|||Yes. Michael IS a great driver, but that doesn't mean no other drivers can do better than him or compete with him. I think Massa and Kimi are a good pairing though, it's just that they somehow lack something. But anyway, Kimi IS a very good driver- his problem is, luck isn't usually not on his side.





As for McLaren, Lewis and Alonso are both good, young drivers. I'm sure if Michael was in Ferrari this year and challenging the, they will push even harder to win.|||No.

Will brawn be as successfull with honda as he was with Ferrari?

Brawn says that honda are already better off than when he joined ferrari.. Obviously they don't have the benefit of having a young michael schumacher on board but they do have deep pockets..





Do you think Honda will see an immediate improvement with brawn on board as their team principal? How long do you think it will take them to be able to contend with the likes of the BMW's and Mclarens?|||It's hard for them not to see an immediate improvement from 2007. They stunk! I still think it will take three-years for Honda to get up there with BMW and Mclaren.





I don't think he'll be as successful with Honda. His stint with Ferrari saw them take 5 drivers title and 6 constructors' title. He also had Rory Byrne and Schumacher in their prime at Ferrari. Jenson Button is not in Schumacher's league.|||Maybe not that much during the 2008 season but maybe we will start seeing them take a bit of shape at 2009. Who knows, in 2010, they might be fighting the Beemers like crazy. It took 4 years for Ross to turn Ferrari around, with a young Schumi on board. Well he doesn't have that benefit in Honda anymore does he but then this is the modern world where technology does wonders... So I'd say 4-6 years and maybe become a front runner but not Ferrari status.|||A great deal will depend on how well he gels with the team. I've followed F1 long enough to know that problems (invisible intially to the outside) within a team will cripple it. Honda are not used to the kind of embarrasing season they had this year and will, I believe, give Ross the support he needs to bring about changes for the good to Honda and make them at least as competetive as BMW were this year. How much can be done for 2008 I'm not sure, so much work has been done already developing the car...maybe there are things he can see already to make some immediate improvements within the team.|||I think he will have an affect on the 2009 Honda. At this point Honda has already finished the designing the 2008 car. But he might prove effective in tweaking the car as well as managing and organizing the team.





But Brawn's issues with success might lead with Honda's organization. Similar to how Mike Gascoyne was at Toyota. Gascoyne had helped develop the Renault and Jordan's for years and all there cars proved successful. Brawn's influence might take some years but at some point they will be contenders. Michael Schumacher is good buddies with Ross Brawn you never know Schumacher might defect to Honda and help them with developing there car.|||It's a rare designer that can have sustained success at two different teams. Brawn has already had one successful team change (helped a lot by Schumi changing teams at the same time, it has to be said)...but will his luck hold?


Gordon Murray, Harvey Postlethwaite, John Barnard and Mike Gascoyne all found that you rarely enjoy the same level of success with two different teams.


Murray got "kicked upstairs" at McLaren when his working relationship with Ron Dennis stalled, despite designing the dominant 1988 McLaren. Barnard succumbed to Ferrari politics despite producing race winners that could have been championship winners. Postlethwaite never got back to the level he attained with Ferrari in the early 80s, and Gascoyne must lie awake at night wondering why he quit Renault for Toyota.


Honda will be the true test of Brawn's competence. They have suffered from conservative car design and mixed testing results in the past, two areas he can certainly help to improve. The question must be: Can he make the Japanese work in a way which brings success? The Japanese mentality of "no star performers" can take any team to a certain level (see their fairly successful football team, for example)...to get to the top you need a hero or two.


Brawn managed to organise Italians, so anything is possible I suppose...








As to when they can expect success...it's probably too late for fundamental changes to the 2008 car, but he can tidy it up and get the best out of what he finds. 2009 will be the first all-Brawn car. They will be up with BMW the second they design a car which holds the road in a corner...McLaren may take three years or more!|||It's a possibility. Obviously the fact that Honda is one of the bigger budget teams will help.





I think there'll be improvement in Honda's performance, but it may take time. But having Ross Brawn in the team is definitely an asset and an advantage because there's no denying that Ross is pretty good at what he does. As for them competing with other teams, that won't be so soon; miracles don't happen all the time.





However, Ross will definitely be able to make significant (positive) changes to the team. I can't believe he's left Ferrari!!|||I think it will be a few years before we really see the Brawn effect, but him being there is already a huge moral boost for the team. Hopefully we will see Jenson perform to his potential now and Rubins come back into the running.|||Review for the previous seasons, Honda is one of the great team (B.A.R. Honda).. and sometimes they competed McLaren, Renault and even Ferrari.. but suddently this year Honda is droping down.. somethings wrong with the car and the team..





I think Brawn will do somethings to improve in 2008 and be one of the top team in 2009.. Honda will come out in 2008 as a new team.. they were reborn.. just like BMW..

Is it appropriate to boycott Ferrari as a brand because of the current situation in Formula 1?

My opinion is that Ferrari, and not McLaren, are responsible for the over-politicized Stepney-gate controversy in F1. I will personally not purchase any Ferrari, Marlboro, or Formula 1 branded merchandise, and will instead support Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes brands whenever possible because of Ferrari's actions during the 2007 Formula 1 Championship.


Further, because of BMW/Sauber's comments in the opinion of how they would receive a constructor's award in this year's championship, I will similarly endeavor to support those companies as well in lieu of what I perceive as greedy, controlling actions by Ferrari/Marlboro with regard to the FIA and F1 as a motorsport.|||I would!

They also take your car away if you take it somewhere else for maintenance or oil change.|||Not for the cases here in Malaysia, furthermore if you're a second-hand owner.

IS the fact that Ferrari went bankrupt and had to be absorbed by FIAT proof that NO ONE actually wants an?

It is (and has always been) a very successful carmaker, to the point that its customers are happy to wait up to 9 months from the order to the delivery of their car.





In the late 1960s, following the death of his son Dino, Enzo Ferrari who founded the company in 1929, sold 51% of the company shares to FIAT with the clause that he would remain at the company's helm until his death. Previously he held negotiations with Ford Motor Co. for the same deal, which fell through in 1963 when Ford refused his condition to keep managing the company.





On the other hand, it was Chrysler who was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was saved thanks to FIAT's intervention. That has nothing to do with the kind of cars they make, but rather with mistakes made by its previous management (Rick Wagoner, etc) who drove the company to the ground.|||Didn't Fiat purchase Chrysler or was going to is that proof no one wanted a jeep or charger.

Should Ferrari withdraw their cars to protest?

I have been reading some Ferrari fan forums and F1 forums in general. I think the Ferrari fans know they can't win this season. A few fans have mentioned that if Mclaren is again not punished at the Sept appeal, Ferrari should withdraw their cars in protest because they have nothing to lose.





So, if Mclaren gets no penalty for having Ferrari IP, should Ferrari pull their cars from the remaining races and re-examine their commitment to F1 for 2008?|||While you make what ostensibly seems to be a valid point, we should not quickly forget that Ferrari received no penalty for clearly breaking the rules with their movable floor, which likely contributed to their win in the Australian GP of the 2007 season.





Let's also think about the fact that it was a Ferrari employee that gave the IP to the McClaren team member. By the standard being applied here--team culpability due to possession, regardless of knowledge or use by the team or its principals--Ferrari basically planted the IP and then turned and did all they could to try to get McLaren out of the points, thus guaranteeing a win for the season. The FIA found McClaren guilty of possession, but not of use of the IP. If a standard is to be upheld, and McClaren penalised for possession, then Ferrari should also be penalised for willfully passing documents to another team (a bit of subterfuge), and then claiming theft and unfair advantage.





If, in the end, in the very unlikely event that Ferrari decide to pull out of the remainder of the season in protest, it will not only be a major loss for them, but for fans the world over. It cannot happen, it must not happen.





That's just my personal feeling on the matter.|||No, I think they should continue to race and let the system work itself out, even though we know nothing will happen to McLaren. It would be a disservice to the fans to withdraw their cars... not that F1 really cares about the fans anyway.|||Ferrari has commited a lot of offenses in the F1, so they shouldn't complain now.|||No. They should not give way to McLaren so easily. Although McLaren seem unstoppable, it doesn't mean Ferrari don't have a chance. The best they can do is try to minimize the difference in points.





By withdrawing themselves, it doesn't fulfill their demand for justice. In fact, McLaren will be sniggering to themselves because Ferrari moved out of their way- it means less rivalry and what's more, Ferrari is the second best team on grid for now. Plus, all their efforts would have been wasted.





Ferrari should fight to the end!!!!!!!!|||yah yah, sore losers. The excuses are coming ealy this year aren't they?!|||ferrari are certainly no angels when it comes to illegal parts, dirty tricks etc. what would be the point of running off and crying in the corner. if they want to prove something then they should stay and race. I'm sure Kimi and Massa would want to finish the season in the car rather than watching from the sidelines.|||No, they should fight till the end. Plain and simple.





RP|||No they should not do that. Not only is that just not sportsmanlike but it would really get Ferrari in the FIA's doghouse. Do your fighting out on the track.|||Ferrari would not withdraw from F1 as they make too much cash and sales out of it also Kimi %26amp; Massa who are needing the championship points would end up kicking mery hell as it concerns them and their future.Dont be surprised if Ferrari deliberately leaked the info to McLaren as they new early in the season that they were going to be losers this year|||Yes, Yes, Yes! I think they should have done it imediately for at least one race.

Just wondering, how long would it take me to save enough mney to buy a Ferrari 430 CHAllenge?

Ive always wanted a Ferrari. They are the sexiest cars on the planet. |||It is according! To what you annual income is per year. Once you get that, deduct all of you living expenses like, rent, food, party money etc... After you get how much money you would be saving in a year, take that number and divide it by the amount a Ferrari 430 cost. Or if you have a rich dad or family, maybe you can persuade them into buying it for you. Oh! You can marry someone rich and have it in no time.





I have actually figured up how long it would take me to pay cash for a Dodge Viper. Around 2.25 years making 60k a year. that is after all my expenses. |||your hole life so stop trying!!!

What do you think will be the decision of WMSC for Ferrari?

Ferrari German GP issues aren't settled are they? Now they are being investigated by World Motorsport Coucil (WMSC). This could be serious knowing the power of that administration. I am having a feeling they will give Ferrari a mega punishment. Disqualification of the team from the championship perhaps, just like McLaren in 2007? Who knows. I just can't wait for WMSC's decision.|||The trouble is they still can't see past their own arrogance to appreciate how what they've done is wrong.





Montezemolo: "Enough of the hypocrisy. This has always happened."





"If one races for Ferrari, then the interests of the team come before those of the individual,"





He could have added "and the sport".





If what he said were to make sense, rather than tell Massa to back off when their cars were in 1. 2. positions , the message should have gone to the trailing driver, Alonso. Instead, they favoured an individual. The team gets the same points total whichever way round they finish as long as they finish - which is an important and legitimate consideration for the team.





Ferrari doesn't know what hypocrisy means.





As I understand it, Ferrari has been summoned to the WMSC under article 151 c of the INTERNATIONAL SPORTING CODE. That looks serious.





The code does not require a summons to consider a breach of rules unless the penalties to be considered are exclusion, suspension or disqualification.





I expected they would get an exclusion for this race but it would be suspended for the rest of the season but I don't think that can work, now. They can't allow the result that is acknowledged to have been changed deliberately in breach of the rules to stand.





I think they have to disqualify Ferrari from the German Grand Prix.|||I know what I'd LIKE to happen - at the very least nil points for either driver and ditto for Ferrari re the Constructors title race for that GP. Given what other teams have had handed out, for things that were no way as blatant, this is the least that should happen. I'd stop short of a race ban or two because the fans do need to see their fav.teams (although how long anybody can carry on supporting Ferrari when they do this sort of thing, is questionable).





I have a gut feeling that what should happen, won't, however. Whatever the case, $100,000 was laughable (especially when that's dollars, not pounds!!).|||It is a strong choice that the WMSC are going to fine the scuderia ferrari team $100000 US. They are still investigating the matter but have produced enough evidence to show that ferrari alterded the outcome of the race.|||They'll possible go away scot free. But I think they should be docked points or Alonso should be and Ferrari's points with Alonso. The reason why I'm backing Massa up was because he was angry by the fact Ferrari had told him he had to let Alonso through. The look on his face explaied why he was angry. Because Ferrari wanted Alonso to win|||I know what the decision should be; Ferrari should be docked the points for this race at the very least. Whether that will happen, who knows?|||A fine of $100,000 is nothing, if Hispania had done the same thing the team would have stopped dead. For Ferrari, it's like losing a penny.|||Alonso and Massa will probably be Disqualified (DSQ) from the race!

Is the Ferrari F430 Spider hard to handle when driving?

I know most people don't have the luxury of owning such a nice exotic car. But my dad owns a Ferrari F430 Spider (I know you think I'm joking but I'm not) and I'm young teenage girl and of course I want to ask if I can drive it one day!





I'm just wondering if anyone knows if that car is hard to handle because I know it鈥檚 fast and can ''slip away''. Overall is it easy to drive on the highway?|||It's one of the top handling car in the world. Just drive it within your ability and it will handle great.|||Well it is probably a manual car which means if you cant drive a manual car you wont be able to drive it. Also it is probably RWD (rear wheel drive) and if it is in the snow or hard rain it may be hard to keep it from loosing control. But if it is in the sun and you can drive with a little proficency then I dont see what would be so hard about it. Oh also it may or may not have abs if it doesn't dont lock the tires up.|||They are hard to drive fast without experience, especially in the turns.


Driving in a straight line is easy.|||Yes, for a 15 or 16 year old. They have a 90掳 V8 that is very powerful (483 HP) and isn't recommended for a young driver. You have got to have some experience. They are great handling cars, but you have to have a little knowledge of what you're doing. Look at http://www.wreckedexotics.com/430/ to see what happens when someone inexperienced or careless drives one of these beasts. But I'd say about 20 yrs old or so gives you enough experience to be able to drive a beast like this. If you do don't drive it on a road with many turns. Just on the highway or something that you don't have to turn as much.


If you have the F1 Paddle Shifters, I would have your dad teach you since it is kinda weird doing it the first time. Anyway just lean how to use a manual and don't drive in the rain, it'll be slippery.





Feel free to send me a picture of your dad's F430, I'm 14 and am obsessed with Ferrari's. I know some people who own cars like these and I get advice from them about power and such. Just message me a picture, I'd honestly love to see it.

Is it more awesome to ride in a Ferrari or drive a Lotus?

Okay so my friend's girlfriend's dad has a Ferrari Spyder 430 and my friend has rode in it. My friend has a Lotus Elise and if I ask him I could drive it any time I like with him in the car. The friend with the girlfriend is the same age as me (8th grade) and the friend with the Lotus is a sophomore in high school. I just need answers to settle a debate.|||You're getting the answers about the Ferrari being superior - and it is, but if I take your question as it's worded, you're asking if it would be a better opportunity to ride (be a passenger) in a Ferrari or drive an Elise - is that correct?





I would MUCH rather drive an Elise than to sit in a Ferrari while someone else drives.|||Ferrari. Depending where you are the Lotus can be almost semi-common cars, whereas the Ferrari is rare everywhere.





Seriously there are at least a dozen Elises driving around the area here. I've never seen so many in one place before. Can't say it wouldn't be fun to drive though. Street legal go-karts.|||Lotus.


apparently they have awesome handling, and are an extremly fun car to drive around.





anyways, sitting in a ferrari is nice... BUT driving a Lotus would be way cooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||The Ferrari is a far superior car to the Lotus Elise. No question.|||ferrari will get you laid, lotus will get you track star status.

Why is the traditional colour of a Ferrari red?

Ive made this riddle. Try 2 solve it. Why is a Ferrari painted red? Best answer gets 10 points.





Hint: Arch rival|||to answer your riddle: because they want to make the BULL (Lamborghini's logo) mad.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari


Red is the Ferrari racing color. All of their official race cars from formula one and sports car racing are painted red. It is by far the most popular color on Ferrari's and some even pay extra to get it. Problem is you go to Ferrari show and all you see is red cars!


Personally I really like the tour de france, dark blue color the best, it make a ferrari look a little classier.


http://forums.autosport.com/lofiversion/鈥?/a>


From an old discussion of national racing colors from this thread.





Originally, national colors were as follows:


France was blue


Germany white


Belgium yellow


Britain green


America red.





The fact that no Americans made much of an impact in Europe resulted in red being taken over by the Italians - which is why today Ferraris are red.





German cars were white until 1934 when Mercedes-Benz decided to save weight by not painting its racing machines and Ferdinand Porsche, the Auto Union designer, decided to follow suit because he had minimalist tendencies. And so Germany's national color has become silver.





Actualy, in a way, they did change their colours. I don't remember how the story goes but at the end of the '64 season, for some reason Ferrari didn't enter their cars and drivers for the US and Mexican GP's under their own name. Instead the cars and drivers where entered by the "Northern American Racing Team", wich I think was set up by the US-Ferrari importer or something like that. For those races the Ferraris were painted in white and blue livery!|||Ferrari's traditional red comes from how the sport of racing began, where each country was assigned a color and the red for Ferrari has remained. Red was assigned to Italian cars, Green to English, Blue to France and so on. Canary yellow as seen on the Prancing Horse emblem could be classed as Ferrari's official color as it symbolised the town of Modena.





cheers|||red is the national racing color of Italy, all their racing cars at one point were red.

Is it safe to drive a Ferrari from Ottawa, Canada to Puerto Vallarta?

I'll be leaving next year - May 2010 - in a Ferrari Testarossa from Ottawa, Canada to Puerto Vallarta and possibly Guadalajara and Mexico City. Will I encounter any hazards along the way such as rogue police that will harrass me and require bribes, bandits, loco drivers, drug lords, etc.? Thanks. Kent.|||Besides the fact that you're driving a Ferrari through Mexico, I think the best piece of advice would be to look into what border town you're coming through. Ciudad Juarez is dangerous, I'd say your best bet would be through Brownsville to Matamoros. The Gulf side of northern Mexico is the safest, and most convenient from Ottawa. Your car will stick out like a sore thumb to police, and you may encounter some problems. Pay them whatever they want. (They are poor, so their demands shouldn't be that big.)|||I would say be very carefull and would not reccomend driving a ferrari which in mexico is like holding a billboard saying hey mess with me. Kidnappings and Drug Wars are at an all time high right now, so if someone sees you driving a ferrari they are going to assume you have alot of money and therefore they could make a profit. Just be carefull and consider a different form of transportation|||Decent question but obvious answer. You see, driving threw mexico in a ferrari is like wearing a suit made of mailable gold in the middle of the projects with a giant billboard over your head that (in neon letters) says shoot me, get rich instantly im have LOTS of money!

What are the different types of Ferrari?

Does anyone know the different types of Ferrari?|||http://www.ferrariusa.com/index.php?page鈥?/a>|||Lola Ferrrari did it for me before her untimely death.|||There are two categories of Ferrari. The first is for extremely rich people with tiny willies. The second is for extremely rich people who are just plain ugly. Both have the same desired effect, and that is to act as a 'I'm Rich' sign for people who desperately need to get laid, yet lack the social prowess to attract a mate naturally. Call it a 'pheromone on wheels' if you will. One side effect, however, is that they seem to magnetically attract only those with high levels of gold and other precious metals in their heads. Scientists studying dissected members of this species, officially named 'Golddiggicus Whorium', have found that the need for them to ingest large quantities of precious metals and green-dyed paper (often in the form of hundreds) are easily distracted and may move from Ferrari owner to Ferrari owner at an alarmingly fast rate. This can be attributed to higher level of precious metal content in the potential new mate, or better access to white powdered substances or chemicals in pill form that the Whorium also highly crave. Hope this helped!

What brand offers better performance: Porsche or Ferrari?

I'm trying to figure out if a Porsche 911 GT2 could beat a Ferrari F430 or a 360 Modena in a straight line race.





Can a Porsche 911 GT3 beat a Ferrari 612, 599 GTB, or FXX in a straight line race?|||The GT2, 911 Turbo, and GT3 all are faster in a drag race.


GT2: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.


GT3: 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.


911 Turbo: 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.





F430: 0-60 in 4.0 seconds.


360: 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.





If it was the GT3 versus the 599, or FXX, the Ferrari's would win.


If it was the GT3 against the 612, I would say the GT3 would win, but it would be very close.


The GT2 is the fastest and most powerful 911 Porsche ever made.|||The New 911 GT2's would beat a 360 easily on a track, but would probably be pretty close in a straight line. The GT2 would have a better chance against the 612 than the GT3. It sounds decieving, but the GT3 can go 197mph while the GT2 can go 205 (which is comparable to the Carrera GT.) For the FXX, there is no way that any GT2 or GT3 could beat it. It goes 217mph. But I would never compare a Porsche to the FXX because they made a couple of these for a couple of investors.


Now if you were comparing on a CIRCUT, then the GT2 would likely win against the Ferrari's (Exept the FXX). Porsches are about speed, but moreover they are about handling.|||if you like to flash, go with ferrari. if your more interested in the longer term (4-7 years) reliability and lower maintaining costs, go with porsche. as far as performance, the porsche could take the 360 and 612, but not the 599GTB or FXX..|||None of those cars were designed for a straight line (drag) race, they were built to handle.|||usually a Ferrari is faster than a Porsche,but Porsches are better made.....


your Porsche will be able to beat the 360 Modena and possibly the F430 or the 612,,but not the FXX,OR THE 599 GTB Fiorano.|||If you are comparing these cars side by side, your best bet is to find their 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times and top speeds. That should answer these questions for you.

How much ferrari 360 costs for regular maintainance?

I am planning to buy Ferrari 360 maybe 2004 or 2003 model, i want to know if someone knows in dollar amount if possible how much its costs for normal service or oil change. I just want to make sure that i am making a right decision and have enough funds to service it.|||Ferrari ownship is expensive! How much will depend alot on how much you drive. Though driving more can actually be good for the car once it's up to temperature (as with many performance cars, they are designed to be driven, and many of the parts get their lubrication as a result of getting up to operating temperature and running). But while regular driving can help in longer term reliability, it will cost more in maintenance, and ultimately in resale value (as these cars are generally expected to have low annual milage).





But how much? A basic oil service will generally cost around $1200-1500. For most people, this will be an annual service, with more only needing to be considered if you are driving more than 10k or so each year. If you look at additional services needed around the 5 year mark or so, and average it out, you are looking at a total maintenance cost around $2-2.5k.





If you have not owned a high end performance car before, it's probably also important to mention tire costs. High performance tires are designed for performance, which will come at the cost of longevity. These will most likely need to be replaced every 2-3 years, adding about $1k more to the annual average.|||ferrari 360 is a realy good car!! i am also planning on buying one in about 10 years

Then there are a select few drivers who stand out to me in terms of pure driving skill. Lewis Hamilton is one of them - put him a competitive car and watch him take polls and win races like crazy. Fernando Alonso is another driver like Lewis - get Alonso a mid-pack or better car and you can watch him run at the front and out-drive people all day.





I think Alonso will do well for Ferrari if for no other reason than because he's got such a high level of driving talent. Ferrari will do everything they can to give Alonso a competitive car and from there watch out.|||I guess that depends on: a) whether his team mate is Fisicella or Massa; and b) whether his team mate overtakes him.





In all seriousness though, I think he will fit in very well. He is the best drivers on the grid (and, yes, I am a Lewis Hamilton fan) because he doesn't just drive exceptionally well, he also is able to set up his car better than most of the other drivers. Thus, don't be surprised if he is the next World Champion.|||Good question, I think he'll need to hammer Felipe to stand a chance of being "favoured" in the team and I'm not sure if he will do so.


Take Kimi, he walked the first race he had for Ferrari but did he ever look favourite? ( barring Felipe letting him by at Brazil 07) Kimi 07 and the first quarter of 08 was a superior driver but the teams obvious affection towards Felipe, I think messed with his head a bit.|||Well, him and Massa have had run-ins before. Most famously;





Also, recently Massa caused a load of trouble by claiming that 'Alonso must have known about crashgate'.


Maybe things will chnage when they have to spend more time together, but if Alonso can't beat Massa there will be muchos troubleos!|||Maybe at the beginning he'll have to get use to the car, but I think he'll be fine later on
