Exotic Car Certified Mechanic?

Mc John

I am currently a college student at a ABET school studying Electrical Engineering. I am interested in getting involved in the high end car business (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, etc.) possibly becoming a mechanic. How would I go about doing this, or any possible career ideas.

Answer
Well, you will definitely need training to become a Ferrari mechanic. Ferrari was started by Enzu Anselmo Ferrari and he built his first car in 1948..

The Ferrari Company sells expensive sports cars to wealthy individuals. Ferrari North America is headquarted in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

Take your time and learn what Ferrari mechanics do and you can become a Ferrari mechanic. The task is not easy, but you will be rewarded because every car owner needs a mechanic.

To become a Ferrari mechanic, you will need:

Basic tools for repairing Ferrari cars

Specialized Ferrari car repair training

Constant and up-to-date Ferrari car information

Enroll in an automotive mechanic program to train to be a Ferrari mechanic. Complete the course and receive at least a diploma or degree in automotive technology or a similar field. Note that some Ferrari mechanics have started out by learning on the job.

Volunteer to work for a car repair shop that repairs Ferraris. Learn as much as you can about these cars and what it takes to make them run efficiently by asking the mechanic questions. Interview Ferrari mechanics by phone or in person and find out how they became Ferrari mechanics.

Read books and trade publications. Become a member of the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) organization. Obtain the certification and you will improve your chances of becoming a Ferrari mechanic.

Talk to Ferrari mechanics presently employed by the company to help you become a mechanic yourself. Ask the mechanics what type of training programs are available for future Ferrari mechanics at the company. Prepare a resume and a cover letter or have someone do this for you and submit this information to the human resources department and apply for a position as a Ferrari mechanic. Ask for an interview. Follow all the rules and meet all the qualifications and you will become a Ferrari mechanic.

Kenny

i heard about these new laws and i was wondering how they would work? how can they take a pickup truck that gets 14 or 15 miles per gallon and change it into a 54 mpg vehicle that can still do things that a lot of customers would need like pulling boats, trailers, n what not.. without making it a hundred thou are and dollars to buy a truck? Also whats going to happen to sports cars that are sold in america? are mustangs, camaros, corvettes, lambos, ferraris all gonna trade away there power and turn into 100 hp priuses? i dont think the forgeign companies would want to stop selling to america. any thoughts ? aggrees or dissagrees?

also, were still in a recession, where the hell are we going to get the money to develop these cars and for consumers to purchase them.....

Why does Japan gives America watered down version of theirs sports cars?

AllorNothi

Examples Evo didint have ay of the computerized differentials until years later.
why are they so stingy with their Nissan Gtrs? They finally sell them here. i'm sure they could have sold the previous versions here but too lazy to modify the car to meet our standards

Answer
Needing to meet strict California emission regulations, and trying to keep the price down to sell cars.

Most Honda engines here in the US have slightly lower compression ratios than over in Japan, which often results in a 8-10hp different. That is purely done to meet the emission regulations of California.

As for the missing electronics and such, it is due to the lower sale prices. I have a Best Motoring video about the Tokyo Auto Salon from years ago, where the representative from Mitsubishi states this as the reason. They wanted to keep their price tag down, so they could sell more, and also to better compete with their biggest rival... the Subaru STI.

The Nissan GT-R's are a very strange thing though. While they claim 480hp, this is known to not be the case. Each engine is hand built, so power varies between each engine. Nissan is also simply a big fat lair :) . 480hp is well below what the cars really make, especially when you realize that this rating isn't even supposed to be taken as 480hp at the wheels. They've been dyno'd to right around 480 WHEEL horsepower! This is the US model by the way.

Edit: For "Steven G". All horsepower specs given by ANY car manufacturer is the horsepower in brake horsepower, which is the horsepower at the flywheel/crank. This is common knowledge for any automotive enthusiast. On the site that YOU linked to, they even state that it's 480hp, not 480whp or 405hp at the crank, but 480hp.

For my claim of 480whp, here are some links of tests done:

So who needs to do some research?

Is a Scion tc considered a sports car by insurance companies?

_

I'm getting a new car. I have a Land Rover Discovery and its a piece of crap and drinks a lot of gas. I was going to get a Mazda RX8, I love them. My family has 3 of them, but my dad said no because the insurance would be high because its a sports car. Is a 2008 Scion tc considered a sports car by insurance companies? I am a 19 year old female by the way, if that matters. Thanks for any answers!

Answer
Yes.

The Scion tC is a sport compact manufactured by Toyota and sold under their Scion division in North America, introduced in the United States in June 2004 and 2010 for Canada. The name tC does not fit in with its stablemates, the xA, xB and xD, because the xC name designation is used by Volvo Cars for their lineup of sport utility vehicles. According to Scion, tC stands for touring coupe

Of course, coupe = two door, and to insurance in most cases, unless it's a pickup truck, 2 doors = sports car.

So, 2 door, and the manufacturer says it is a sports car.

Answer
BMW is trying to get the M Coupe certified for US import by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This takes time and the M Coupe may have some performance enhancements that exceed the ever stringent US emissions criteria. Several of the BMWs in recent years have had differences between the Euro Version and the U.S. versions.

How can I make my corvette a lot sexier?

Ravi

I have a 2012 Chevy corvette grand sport centennial edition. I added the mild 2 wild switch. Now I'm looking at more things I could do. I need ideas. I'm trying to stay away from the superchargers and all of that for now. Right now I want advice on appearance. How can it LOOK better? If you can, please include prices... Thanks!

Answer
Grand sport stripes, tinted windows, carbon fiber splitter, Z06 spoiler, new wheels, chrome accents (but not too much), cargo area cover, LED tail light conversion.
Check out RPI, MidAmerica, Ecklers, Corvette Central, Corvette America, Zip's. They all have lots of accessories for your car. Also, dealers sell the stuff, but usually, their prices are a lot higher.
