Ferrari Mailing List: 1978 GTS Rear Brake Caliper question

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Carl says “....machinists at Zuffenhausen seemed to work at a tighter tolerance, the Porsches don't need them.[shims]”
George says “I'm not really a Porsche guy, but why doesn't this surprise me??  😉”

Picture this – Porsche and Ferrari are on the same continuum but at opposite ends.

Porsche’s rules are “ve are going to build the best engineered car effer* und dis is how it looks – take it or leaff it.”

Ferrari ‘s edict “we are going to build the most bitchenist looking vehicle ever - - now where do we put the driver, the gas tank, the spare tire?”

 

I could be wrong –

*believe me – they’ve had their peccadillos.  Heh heh
