Early 80's Mark Goyette and Partner Neil Glassmoyer developed a Company named Modena, and this is the "Prototype" number #01 build Modena (out of Five) that was built by Mark Goyette to scale to exact measurements and dimensions and features of a 1961 Ferrari GT 250 Spider- They started with Commissioning Bob Webb of Indy car fame (his Chassis are World Famous) The Front suspension has a upper A-arm and a lower control arm that is connected to torsion bar. The rear suspension consist of a Ford solid axle with torsion bars as the springing medium, four links for longitundinal location, and a panhard rod for lateral location. The centerpiece of this piece of art is the Steel - tubing two-by-three inch mild steel frame Bob Webb built Roger Penske race cars. On the skid pad this car generated a very respectable 0.79G! The second of owner of this car commissioned Smeding performance engines to build him a small block with the inners of a 427! Pumping out over 550HP- this car is not for the faint of heart, along with competion clutch and five speed transmission and straight handbuilt headers into side pipes this thing is a beast. The car has over $500,000 into manufacturing and production- This is the very car that John Hughes saw and picked for the Movie Ferris Bueller! It has been in several magazines and pictures are seen throughout the World in Movie Banners.


  Modena design was sued after the Movie Ferris Bueller aired by Ferrari Motorcars and a cease and desist order was issued and the production was halted! Five cars were built by Mark Goyette the other 30 or so were sold as kits.

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Ferrari still finalizing LaFerrari hardware? [w/videos]

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini helped make this year's Geneva Motor Show one of the most exciting in recent memory, but the LaFerrari might be a little further away from production than its McLaren P1 hypercar rival. According to GTSprit.com, it sounds like Ferrari is still trying to hammer out the the car's details to ensure the lucky 499 souls laying down $1.5 million aren't left in the dust by a brightly colored McLaren.
While it's not clear what sort of things Ferrari is still working on, the continued development aspect is somewhat substantiated by the fact that the 949-horsepower hybrid supercar is still running around Italy wearing camouflage - albeit light camo. As proof of this, the site also found a pair of enthusiastic amateur spy videos that get some good rolling shots of the LaFerrari out testing. They also show how well the car can handle a roundabout. Both videos are posted below.
