Default Ferrari Dino F149



I've been buzzing around FerrariChat, Jalopnik, GTSpirit and watching Fast Lane Daily, rumor all around is that the new Dino F149 that the folks over at Ferrari have been working on. There are hundreds of spy shots of it and I think it looks absolutely gorgeous, even under its typical camo cover.

The specs rumored so far are that it'll have a 4.7L V8 with direct injection, 7-speed Semi-automatic twin clutch transmission with folding hard top. Ferrari has been telling dealers and insiders to keep quiet on the details until the official release, but I know some other information has leaked. Anyone else heard anything?

Haha easy there sniper. I like that a lot, but I wish Ferrari would have the balls to give it a 6 speed manual.

Why would you hate people who work hard? That doesn't make a lot of sense. If you're jealous, become rich yourself!

I think he means working hard to get grants and earn scholarships to get into a good college. Then working hard to atain a degree in a prosperous field. Then working hard to climb the ladder in that field.

Not that I have any first hand experience. I dropped out of college and am now broke.

This is what I love about cars... like look at the Corvette. Relatively speaking, it's a blue collar car. I just love it how a $70,000 American car can beat out a $495,000 SLR on a track. That's just awesome. No matter what class you are in, cars are a passion. Also, this is what's sweet about the US. If you really want/need money, you can work your ass off and get a sweet job. Pursuit of Happiness anyone?

Well I do have a scholarship and go to college, I'm going for my associates in Automotive Technology, I'm also considering getting my ASE certification in brakes, engines, and manual transmissions. I may also go for my bachelor's in Automotive Engineering I can be useful because of my 6 or 7 years of automotive experience, more if you added the time I watched and helped my mother's ex-boyfriend work on cars from when I was 7 or 8 years old

That's good that you have a solid work ethic, but unfortunately you have to be ridiculously good with mechanics to get $70k here.. well at least in Buffalo.
