    I used to be scared of bring a car to a show because there would be so many better cars at the show. Until, I went to a show in a 85 Yugo my dad paid $100 back in the 90s. It got overwhelming attention even though it was directly across from the Ferraris 🤣

    The thought that the Dino was anything but a Ferrari is crazy. Enzo Ferrari named the car after his son, the son he lost. No father would have named the car to be anything less than his own blood.

      Totally agree well said. The first time I saw 308GT4 I thought it looked incredible I was 10. 35 years later my late Father bought one after selling a 250GTE. I didnt get to drive the GTE but drove the 308 a few times and loved every minute of it. If only they were still disliked I might have bought one myself eventually.

      Even thought it actually wasn't named Ferrari you mean? I don't agree with what some people try to say with their: "It's not a Ferrari" schtick, because it definitely was made by Ferrari and it was a great car. But then again it's true: it literally wasn't branded as a Ferrari by the company itself, it was deliberately meant to be a sub-brand and NOT a Ferrari. The badges on the car: very deliberately not Ferrari, instead Enzo had new Dino badges made for it.
      It is also physically not a Ferrari based on their own criteria: they decided that "Ferrari" meant something with more performance and different mechanical and even interior criteria. They wanted more leeway in making great, but slightly lower-level cars so they went with the Dino branding. Just because they discontinued the brand and decided instead that it didn't make financial sense or overall strategic sense, moving on to make Mondials with V8s and under the full Ferrari branding, doesn't mean at that time Dino wasn't a separate sub-brand. It just didn't make sense to make separate V6 engines and other components for a sub-brand (without mass-production volumes), nor did the sub-brand bring any strategic or brand value according to them, as it just downgraded what they were selling so they made very little (if any) profits with the lower-cost car...while creating a competitor to lower-end Ferraris which made more profit.
      Like you said: Enzo didn't name it a Ferrari. He named it Dino. Hence = not a Ferrari.

      One the biggest complaints is that it came with a slush box. And keep in mind when this came out the competition was stiff. You had the Ford GT, the Carrera GT, the Zonda, the 430, and the Koenigsegg CC8S. Really it's crime is that it was a GT car among and endless sea of bonkers supercars. So it was overlooked. But out of all the cars that came in that era the SLR is the one I would have. Though in reality I would probably get an SLS just so I don't have to deal with the McLaren services as don't leave near one of their service centers. Not as far as Hoovie bit it would still be a pain.

    The first time I saw a Dino in the early 70's I was riding my bike in downtown Seattle and followed the dark blue beauty until I could catch up and ask the driver what it was. "Ferrari" he said. So I looked up the local dealership and found it on a pier in Leschi on Lake Washington, far removed from any other commercial area. I still ride my bike by there (now a restaurant or realty office) and think back to when I started lusting after this little car. It's been 50 years and I still am in love with the Dino. . .

One half of my brain was thinking it was some sort of Koenigsegg that maybe I hadnt heard about then the other half of me thought It was the Mazda Furai but that would be impossible as the last known remaining Furai died in a fire in 2008. I mean Mazda could have built another one in that time but concept cars dont usually get re-manufactured.

    I have always liked the slr when I finally saw one in real life tearing out of a local exotic car dealer absolutely thundering down the road it will go down as one of my favorite cars I’ll never afford 😂

    You nailed it with this car, I suggest holding on to it as long as you can. Drive it occasionally but keep the miles low. This car will appreciate significantly over time, it’s a future true classic that does not receive the appreciation it does today. I’d take this car any day over a McLaren or Ferrari.

    I can't get past the fact that you could get Dinos for $32-40,000 in the late 90's. It will always be a cheap Italian sports car in my mind. It does have one of the best sounding V6s though.

    I’ve had the pleasure of driving an SLR and the SLS AMG and I like the SLS a lot better. It felt much more nimble and the engine obviously sounded better. lol

    I remember when a Alfa customer brought his Dino to the shop. Told me to take it out and don’t baby it. I didn’t and when I got back I told him what I thought and then he told me what it was worth which was in the mid 70’s about 25 years ago. I was glad he told me after I got back! Back then if you said you owned a Dino it didn’t carry the clout it does today.

    Always loved the Dino! The design is incredible and different than any other Ferrari of the time. All the classics could be considered underpowered by today's standards, but looks like the experience is just as fun.

    • @bwofficial1776

      The Dino and many of the other classics are proof that a good chassis is better than massive power. I say it's better because you can use all of the power on public roads and not have to worry about tickets or sliding into something that shouldn't be hit. Like an old Rolls-Royce, power is sufficient for anything you'd reasonably want to do. It's fun to just cruise in an analogue car.
