    Smile A 'little' comparison ...

    After reading some of my Ferrari stuff it got me think'n ...

    The typical Ferrari 2 liter V12 of the late '40's into the mid '50's had pistons that were 2.36 inches...

    The typical contemporary 500 inch Fuel Dragster has intake valves that are 2.45 inches...

    Ferrari also had 1.5 liter V12's and Flat 12's with pistons just over 2 inches !!!!


    My thumb and forefinger is do'n the 2 inch thing right now....

    Have'a good Wednesday ...

    The video within the article is awesome. Gives me a small sense of what a good friend of our family experienced racing back in the day (may he rest in peace).

    one of mike hailwoods RC166 was taken outside and fired-up. the sound of this engine is absolutely awsome.....and can easily damage your hearing apparatus
