Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Chris Harris vents about Ferrari

[E M (pokiebaron]

Didn't this happen back in the 80s with the 288 GTO too?  The test cars were doing 190mph or something, and when Phil Hill got his hands on a customer delivery car, the best he could manage with it was 175mph.  Memory seems to recall they suspected the boost was turned up, way up, on the test cars provided.  I may even have the old article kicking around somewhere.

Not new in the car world for manufacturers to bring ringers...but now for Ferrari to partake in this mess?

They've lowered themselves to everyone else's level.

play with parts.
