[markie]

Oh and Mankie, you are older than you look....
 
 Its bad when you remember your chidrens T.V. in black and white/ you watched the same shows as my mum.....

[mankie]

I just meant I'm much slimmer than I was, not necessarily slimmer than you.
 
 I even remember these...who were so great they had a band named after them!

Here you go...the scoop!

 The first step towards an official return to racing.
 
 The Maserati Trofeo, the model with which the Modena-based Italian company will make its official return to motor racing in 2003, makes its world debut at the Paris Motor Show.
 
 Next year, the Trofeo will be the centrepiece of a single-brand championship of seven races, run on the most prestigious circuits in Italy, Great Britain, Germany, France and Spain. Two events, in Italy and Britain, will be held in conjunction with the local Formula 1 Grand Prix, and four will be mini-endurance events, combined with the FIA GT Championship. The last race will be held with the traditional "Finali Ferrari" racing days.
 
 There will be 26 cars on the starting grid, and it will be possible to enter two drivers for mini-endurance events. The Trofeo race cars will all be prepared and run directly by Maserati to guarantee technical equality and similar performance.
 
 Before being presented in Paris, the car was put through an intense test program beginning in June 2002. It made its debut at Fiorano with Luciano Burti, and the tests continued in Imola with Luca Badoer and Fabrizio Giovanardi. Luca Badoer took the wheel of the Trofeo again in Fiorano and Mugello, then Fabio Babini tested the car at Vallelunga. Even Michael Schumacher had a chance to try the car out on September 8 at the Nürburgring, and he announced that he was satisfied with the level of competitiveness achieved.

Yeah, I read a test drive of it. They made the driver keep the electronic aids on.....
 
 What I really meant was real competition, up against other Marques. A Ferrari or Masserati at Le Mans would be pretty cool. Dont you think?

[thirsty moore]

I'd like to see a Ferrari match up to that 11.1:1 Compression Ratio.

[markie]

Well it is a Ferrari.....
 
 Ferrari own Maserati and the engine is based on the same V8 they use in Ferraris.
 
 So thirsty as you are so interested, what is the compression ration of the thirstymobile?
