Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 550/560/612

You gots that right – but EVEN (that was for you Clyde) the P car Cayenne had an engineering marvel regarding engine cooling water pipes.  Let’s weld a plastic 2 inch in diameter pipe to the aluminum pipe from the engine . . . cheaper, lighter, greener.

Ka – bloooyee.  Hello AAA?

Early after sales repair work orders stated “driver drove too fast and overheated engine.  Repair under good will.”  Until the Church Lady’s Cayenne blew . . .

Amen

PS – 20 years or so ago I saw a clip of a test car on the Ferrari track, 550 (?) doing crazy boot leg turns, frying rubber down the track and full on U-Turns and about 20 seconds into the clip – BLAMO and steam?  Engine?  Looked like he blew the engine but most likely it was the big pipe in engine head valley.  Anybody else see that?
