Ferrari F40 vs Ferrari F50

one for the old schoolers here... flappy paddles, supercomputers, TCS/ABS, AWD, KERS, launch control, a gazillion track settings, active aerodynamics, etc. all be damned:

They're really cool cars...F50 with Kreissieg exhaust sounded really good too.

Having said that, the GT-R will smoke the shit out of both cars around on the track.

HELL TO THE FUCK YES.

A universe and a half of respect to the owner. These cars are meant to be driven, not holed up in a garage like some priceless artifact, or left to rot in the jungles of Brunei.

@ 21.17 near the end of the video... i know the F50 is slowing down but chris harris just makes that pass with the F40 look so beautiful.

after watching the video.....
i just rmbred the F40 who spun out @ the luxury auto show when it drizzled....
I thought to my self.... you know what, I think I have been a bit hard on the owner...

When he said you think a higher gear will be better, no... it was just more wheel spin.. and I am like... shit F40 in the wet... just a whole another ball game...

fuck... but ya, Chris Harris, defn a great video!

Those two are true driver's cars. No need for for things that detract from the driving experience like fancy computers or dual clutch automatics. I love how you can hear the snick snick of the manual gearbox as he downshifts at 9:46-9:48.

Saw this video last night. Great narration and great driving. I've always known the F40 to be "the one", so to speak.
