Anticipating the arrival of a new issue of SPORTS CAR ILLUSTRATED, my sports car buddy Jack Leete and I raced (well, it was in an MG TD!) to his house after school to check the mail. A new issue was there, and I remember it as though it was yesterday. There on the cover of the September 1958 issue of SPORTS CARS ILLUSTRATED was the one-off Ferrari 4.9 Superfast. Describing its acceleration, Stephen Wilder wrote, “Blasting once on the Marchal Stridor air horn, we fled the scene at full throttle, rending the air with not-so-quiet thunder and leaving a faint trace of abused rubber on the concrete.” This was possibly the moment I caught this unrelenting disease, and I’m sure many VeloceToday readers can tell a similar story.
