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.
916 - 2.4ltr, 190 hp, 159. ft. lbs@5200, wgt - 2000 lbs 1972 Dino, 195 hp, 167 ft. lbs@7600, wgt- 2381 lbs BTW I absolutely love both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

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

I didn't think about that .... two NAR*'s competing head to head. I don't think the backlash was quite as bad for the Dino/Ferrari vs. the 914(and variants)/Prosche. |

Oh yeah, it was bad in the Ferrari world...didn't even have a Ferrari badge on the Dino...hence it never was a real Ferrari. The only Ferrari Dino was the 308GT4, but that had a V8 and not the traditional Dino V6 (and 4 seats...in a mid engine car). Either way, I'd take the 916 in a heartbeat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
