"You stick to building tractors and..."
"You stick to building tractors and I will stick to building sports cars" -Enzo Ferrari to Ferruccio Lamborghini...
Chaos in 83, when did Enzo Ferrari say that to Ferrucio??

well i found this info but i didnt find the year
" But his Ferrari ran into problems with the clutch and Ferruccio went to visit Enzo Ferrari to complain about it, but Enzo refused to meet with him but that didn't stop Lamborghini. He noticed that the clutch fitted to his Ferrari wasn't any different from the ones he mounted in his tractors so he drove the Ferrari to Cento and fitted a Borg & Beck clutch of his own in the car, the problem never returned after that"

It's not sure it really went like that. It's one of those Lamborghini legends. It is very likely that Lamborghini got to speak to Ferrari though. What was really said, we'll never know. The problems with the Ferrari that Ferruccio Lamborghini drove did bring him to the idea of building a better GT car. Enzo Ferrari wasn't the nicest of persons, so it is also likely he insulted Lamborghini. Again, we'll never know what really happened.
