Ferrari Mailing List: Re: New Physics is not going to save us

[philville dejazzd.com (philville]

   I wonder what Georges obsession with in line 6's is, maybe he is
   trying to send us a coded message...just maybe that good ole Blue
   Flame can get the job done?

   OR, coud it be a Twin H? Talk about torque!

   I can see the salvation of GM, a Blue Flame 6 in every garage,
