Everyday.  Stopped by Jason’s shop on Friday just to check and see the E30 since I hadn’t really looked at it since Roebling in May?  Anyway as this blurry and poor camera pic shows he had a Ferrari 456 sitting in the shop.  It was a 1995 with 23k miles and wouldn’t pass emissions.  A new catalytic converter costs $8000 from the dealer.  I ‘think’ this car cost maybe $225k when new?  Anyway I talked Jason into a ride around the block.   Lots of show, and no go.  Granted its more of a touring car but still not that impressive.  In typical Ferrari fashion the V12 exhaust did sound cool.  So Jason schooled me on crossplane vs. flatplane crankshafts.  The crossplane is a more ‘merican deal and gives the V8 its distinctive ‘burble’ sound or rumble.  The flatplane allows a V8 to rev higher and is more of a racing spec, used by the Europeans notably Ferrari and Lotus.  Ted also has a Testarossa in his shop waiting on a 160 hour ‘minor’ maintenance.  Divide 160 by a 40hr work week.  The lesson for today is – there is no such thing as a cheap Ferrari!
