Wink Ferrari F40 being chased by Audi S2
When Ferrari's still had a bit of animal in them, dialup may take a little time, well worth the wait though. approx 10mg.

F40s are (were) awesome... Ferraris these days are just cliche' (IMHO)

AAh yes, the legendary F40. Standing quarter in 11.7 secs and 80-120 (2nd Gear) in under 2 secs. Not even the F50 could match its in-gear acceleration. And thats for a stocker, which a lot of them aren't these days.
Good vid. Now back to dreaming :baby bott

Awesome Ferrari, arguably the best ever made. The standard F40 was an incredible car for its time.
Here's a couple of snaps I took a few years ago at the Ferrari Nationals of an F40 LM Le Mans model of which only 6? were made. Its basically an F40 with a serious steroid injection!

I reckon the current Ferraris still sound incredible, the 360 has an awesome growl like no other...

Sounds awesome but seems to blow a bit of smoke when he floors it.

The car the F40 was being filmed from is pretty impressive itself...



2.2litre (2226cc) Turbocharged, 20 valve 5-cylinder
230hp (172kW) @ 5900rpm
253ftlbs (343Nm) @ 1950rpm - *with short peaks of 278ftlbs (377Nm) using an 'overboost' device*
3344lbs (1520kg)
AWD

0-100km/h in 6.0 sec
154mph (246km/h) top speed

http://www.fantasycars.com/sedans/html/audis2.html

Nothing next to the F40, but pretty impressive for an early 90's sports sedan.

Those pics bring up a spyware add, but yeah I do remember Test Drive (but on the C64) My fav car was the Vette though, because of its digital speedo
Back in the day my dad was the only one who ever finished it.
