Allan, The Diablo is more expensive than a modded RX-7/Vette/Viper, and would get it's ass handed to it. Wow, isn't that impressive? Your constant use of this analogy holds no substance. The more you use it, the more shallow your arguments become. I'm just about ready to take a vacation to Scottsdale, tow down an LPE-modded Z06, invite all the F-Chat members to watch, and hand you YOUR ass. Anybody interested? | ||

Oh and Robert, how exactly does looking down slow the 355 driver down? Is he looking down and putting on the brakes? Letting off the gas? Making a left turn? lol | ||

Markmoon, i accept your challange at any time. Too bad your in Florida, so you know talk is cheap. I have driven plenty of 512's, and they are pigs. Also, you thinking you could really pass a Diablo is a funny thing. Btw, i would not use nitrous racing your car, what for? So it wouldnt just be an annihilation, but an obliteration? Give me a break. God, you just post a little video here, and all of a sudden, the f40's come out. Will if thats the case, race a Porsche Gt1 against the F40. The 360 is more expensive than the 996tt, and gets its ass handed to it. Live with it. So would the 575M, the 550, the 512Tr and the M, or just to make it simple, every Ferrari sands the F50/f40 and Enzo. And please all you little winy people posting that you dont need speed or hp, are full of it. | ||

Ok, about this race and others where the ferrari has lost. If the driver has to look down to shift, he should not be racing the Ferrari, every time he looks down to find the gear he is loosing time. | ||

There is a video of an F40 vs an older GT2. In the vid, the F40 spun its tires badly at launch and lost to the Porsche in the 1/4, but took off after that and left the Porsche in the dust. http://www.racingflix.com/getvideo.asp?v=385&p=6 | ||

Frank - I have to disagree with one of your comments mate... Although the Porsche TT is probably the ultimate all-rounder sports car, the F40 will PULVERISE it in a straight line. I drove the TT recently and was out in an F40 YESTERDAY... I have no doubt - the TT wouldn't stand a chance against an F40. | ||

As a newbie to this board, and not wanting to step on toes, surely Allan's posts are welcome, and the fact that his potential stirring up is a bonus. How boring would it be if we all agreed on everything ? I enjoy Allan's posts, as I can appreciate different cars as well as Ferrari ( I own a 911, and have a long list of cars I would like, most of which are not Ferrari's. Ron | ||

In order to put things in perspective for our friend Allan, he needs to realize that even a modded RX-7 can obliterate/annihilate/destroy/demolish/thrash his Lambo (or a 996TT, Viper, etc.) in a straight line, on the track, or wherever you like. The reality is, who cares? Am I going to run out and buy a modified RX-7 and cruise the streets & tracks looking for races with Italian cars? No thanks. Grow up, Allan. You sound like a ranting ricer pilot. | ||

Frank: No offense but what are you smoking? A porsche TT faster than an F40? I don't think so. Maybe from 0-50 or so due to superior grip off the line but after that forget it. I have been in many 996 TTs and they don't compare with the F40 IMHO. Allan: Again, put your money where your(large) mouth is....I will happily race your SV in my 512M. Yes, in a STRAIGHT LINE as that is all you seem to be able to handle. I have dusted off a Lambo before and I am willing to bet I can at least keep up if not walk your car. Of course this presumes you aren't using NOS or some other RiceBurner modifications. The only catch is that if I can match the performance of your car in a straight line or do better will you agree to GO AWAY forever? | ||

Oh boy. He's back. Kind of like the annoying geeks in high school that just keep buzzing around, but never make any sense. Who cares is a 360 can be beaten by a car that is the decendent of a VW Bug (and still looks like it). As I have said before, if you want performance, you can achieve it with ANY CAR. Because I can modify a Z06 to wipe any car off the face of the planet (including Allan's Lambo), does it make it a better car? C'mon, gimme a break. | ||

With regards to the Golf VR6, I drive one every day. I piss off so many M3s, Camaros and other faster than normal cars that I get a good laugh everyday. I have a 308 that will get smoked by a NSX, a Diablo, a Skyline, whatever. I don't give a crap. I still love my Ferrari more than any of those other cars. I certainly could have afforded any of those other cars too. I chose a Ferrari, because it is beautiful, fun to drive, sounds great and does what I want it too.

As much as I agree that Allans comments may not always be constructive I do feel that we need people like him on Ferrarichat.... At the end of the day he owns an F355 Spider AND a Lamborghini... We all have a tendency to be love the marque blindly and forgive too many things. The reality is I agree that although performance alone is not part of the Ferrari experience, I think that they should be the amongst the fastest cars in the world and should DESTROY Corvettes..... I actually AM prepared to forgoe (?) some minor reliability if the car delivers performance which would otherwise be unaccessible in any other marque.... Anything else is simply excuses. | ||

Allan, It's going well. I'm really enjoying the car. Didn't say it didn't leak only that you didn't need swim trunks. I've had it in the rain a few times and no problems, only some slight leaks when I've washed it. nothing to write home about. Funny your odo read under 18 in march. Remember when your fired up that beast and we got a look inside(very cool btw). Put on quite a few mile, heh! A friend of mine is moving to Hawaii, might see you in Feb. Vincent.

BJ, Look at how the Murcielago was driven. Comparatively pathetic. Also, it beat the NSX but came after the Gemballa Turbo. Watch how it pulls away on the stretches and even the corners. The driver lost it a bit on the corner and that set him back a bit. Even then he caught up. Don't try to beat up on Lamborghini. It's a waste of time. It's not worth it. Jon's post is spot on.

BJ, first off get it right. The Murcielago beat the Nsx-r, and there is a version of the video with subtitles, that lets you know the drivers comments. The driver in the Murcielago had never even been in one before, the car was brand new, and the owner told him to take it easy with it. The F50 did win, but you also forget to mention that it is a MODIFIED F50. | ||

BJ, Here is the link to the race: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/misc_trailers/revheads/Best_Motoring-SuperCar_Race.mpg Here is one for Allan of a Diablo hitting well over 200 mph (with close up of speedo). http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/misc_trailers/revheads/Diablo.mpg And laslty check out this bike at 220 mph: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/misc_trailers/revheads/220mph.wmv Another one with a Viper beating an F16: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/misc_trailers/revheads/F16Viper.mpg You guys sure seem to spend a lot of time arguing over the prestige of owning this exotic over that one. Just like there will always be a more beautiful women, there will always be a faster car..... and so on. What's the big deal. We all buy different cars for different reasons. Allan bought his car for it's sheet top speed and agressive looks, others bought there car for it's all around day to day usability and speed (996TT) and others for handling and a beautiful exhuast note. Why are we all arguing over one characteristic that makes up only a portion of a car's overall performance and appeal. Some car's handle better, others have a higher top speed, faster 1/4 mile, better sound, better looks, better racing history and so on. What sense does it make to get into these "my Viper can dust your 308" car. Why do some of you try to make others feel inferior based on how fast your car gets to 100 mph. We all know the 308 ain't gonna win many stop light battles, but I am sure that's not the appeal to many owners. To me the 308/328 is one Ferrari's best looking cars (modern era). That would be the appeal of owning one, not 0-100 stats. For all you folks concerned about prestige and bragging rights consider the following. I am looking at purchasing a Townsend chassis NASCAR Craftsman truck and putting a 530 hp Chevy ZZ4 crate motor in it. Now if I wanted to brag I could tell you all to bring your prestige cars to the drag strip and that TRUCK would embarrass you all in the quarter. It weighs 2500 pounds dry weight and has 530 hp + 502 pound feet of torque. I am not buying it to impress the Porsche folks, the Lambo folks, or any Ferrari folks and the thing is never going to win an beauty contests and in fact many people will likely laugh when they see me pull the thing out of the trialer but so what. I'm buying the thing to have fun with at track events and SCCA races. And Yes Allan it is a race car so it's not fair to compare it to a street car. Regards, Jon P. Kofod 1995 F355 Challenge #23 | ||

Boat racing is NO JOKE! Those things friggin' fly! I agree that a racing engine is...well, a racing engine irrespective of application. When it comes down to it, an engine is a big air pump. If it's pushing a boat or a car should be of no concern unless we are talking about a specific race class or series. When generalizing engines, I think boating should be fair game. And those things endure a hell of a lot of torture, as JRV mentions. Think of it as having a roadracing engine redlining almost the entire race! Yowza! Just my two pennies. As for the video...it was cool to see how the difference looked like. One always reads stats on magazines or online. This was a pretty cool illustration of the real thing! Cheers | ||

Allan, make a list of all the race wins the Diablo has and I'll do the same for the 360. It should be pretty quick for you... LOL Ernesto | ||

Allan why compare your Lambo with a 360 surely the Ferrari produced at the same time with comparable power, speed and cost was the F40, if someone has one could we see a video of your SV beating one!, Nothing personal but having owned a few Ferraris and had an early Diablo loaned to me for 2 months I don't get the competitive arguments that are going on, after all their all fun cars, but suit different usage patterns On a separate note, when you wash yours do you find the front luggage bin fills with water (found out the one I used did but only after going to the supermarket, lots of laughing as I tried to stuff couple of dozen bags onto the passenger seat!) | ||

A slot car is still faster around a track than a Diablo... at least slot cars actually race around tracks... LOL Ernesto | ||

I would, but your idea of a race is to go in a straight line on a public road or to quote magazine articles. Ernesto | ||

Why dont you post a video of a Lambo winning a race? Sorry, forgot that video doesnt exist because they dont race.... LOL Ernesto | ||

What do you mean? I thought for sure the Modena would win! lol But then again this is all irrelevent, we dont care about speed, or hp. | ||
