Maybe this has been posted before in the past, but as I was fantisizing things I would probably never get to see or experience, in a head to head road course event, which one would take the checkered flag? Cars pecs seem pretty close.

Wasn't the Dino, in its day, considered a NARF? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yep, because the same engine/tranny was used in the Fiat Dino. The Dino's engine/tranny combo shared the same oil system - something a friend of mine who used to work for Ferrari called "a disaster". One of my greatest regrets was not having the sense or money to buy an absolutely cherry, perfect 246 with T-tops that was being sold by an exotic car dealership that used to be on El Camino in Palo Alto, near Rickey's Hyatt, back about 1982. The car was too expensive for me - $22,000. Too bad I didn't realize that it was an even better investment than it was as a car! |

Gorgeous as it was to look at, the Lamborghini Miura had the same design "feature." I can't imagine why they thought it was a Good Idea to run dirty engine oil through a transmission, or to take a chance on a piece of a synchro working its way into an engine bearing.
