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) |

IIRC, the 916 was designed specifically to be a Dino-beater. So for performance, the 916 would be the way to go. Ditto for parts availability, for working on it, for reliability, for exclusivity...
That said, the 246 is an amazingly gorgeous car, and the Ferrari cachet makes up for a lot of shortcomings in many eyes! Which would I personally rather have? I'd rather have Sir Aaahndy's 914-6 conversion!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) --DD |
