Ferrari Mailing List: Re: '09 ZR-1

[LarryT (l02turner]

With the CAFE legislation making its way toward the President that requires 
35mpg by 2012 (?? that year may be wrong) the Vette may be in trouble 
already - unless they can still sell them because the other cars in the 
fleet exceed the reqmnts or perhaps a gas guzzler tax can be paid?

I wonder what the ramifications for small car makers lie Ferrari and Lambo 
will be?  Or will they be included with their parent company like Audi in 
the case of Lambo?

I know, Dennis, I shoud Google this question.  Fact is I prefer the lists 
opinion to Google &.Wiki., etc ;-p

Merry Christmas --

My guess, Clyde, is that the car will be a
loss-leader.  They will sell a few to bolster the
failing GM name, enter them in Le Mans and other
endurance races and hope for some good press.  Just
guessing, obviously...
