Why does the F40 seem so much more desired than the F50?

I used to think that too...

 

i dont come from a "very well off" family so i have never had high end cars. (whenever i see a high end car i stop and stare in awe) i saved up for months to afford my E36 M3. i just cant see myself making 400K+ that i can spend on cars not ro mention i suck at this whole college thing haha

 

The F50 isn't really "more complicated", the Enzo is for sure. But I prefer a supercar without all those electronic nannies. It is not a sports sedan. I want to drive without something telling me what to do. The F40 and F50 allowed this....I love all of them, but the F40 is THE supercar if you ask me!

 

Because it makes for a horrid ride. I remember all the magazines saying it was very harsh and TOO much noise and vibration was transmitted inside. Some race car aspects are just not suited for the road.

 

Yeah I gotta say I'd totally take any F50 over any car ever produced.

No car moves me like the F50.

Staggering in every way.

 

This is just plain wrong.

 

I have 7 brothers and my dad drove a ford pinto...

I nearly flunked out of college my first time through...

Took 3 years off (went sailing aroung the world with friends)...

went back to college (engineering)...

worked... got bored...

went back to med school...

Moral: Don't sell yourself short...

 

yeah i guess.. i am failing out of engineering school right now almost..

haha one goal in my life if i cant buy and f40 is to either sit in on or drive one

 

Assuming you fit into the car, and are presentable, the first goal shouldn't be too hard. Go too some local shows. As for the second,... that will be significantly harder!

 

haha i am about 5 ft 9in so i think id fit haha. and i dress pretty well. its the fact that in central nj i have never once ever seen an f40..

 

May just have to expand the shows you frequent...

 

yeah i guess.. this isnt the best time of year either

 

Well perhaps up there. Perfect time down here!

 

well hell im coming there haha will you give me a ride in yours

 

Thanks... I will contact you today.

Hmm.

With the right attitude, diligent work, a short list of meaningful goals (written down on a piece of paper and carried with you at all times), you can accomplish almost anything you wish. At least thats what Ive told my son...

I can see that 410SA's reference to you "smoking crack again" was well-founded. Adding Bordeaux to the mix clearly has side-effects, accidental realistic appraisal of sports cars included. Absinthe would get you comitted. Keep it up.

Any time I take it out I try to offer up the passenger seat... if schedules mesh your odds are good...

 

Although I find both the F40 and F50 my absolute favorites, I would have to say I'd want an F40 more because of price, ease of owning (finding, etc), and it's still an awesome, awesome F-Car.

 

I'm surprized to read that many thought it was the making of a "SUPERCAR" for Supercar technology sake
and not the F40's link to Groupe B racing was the reason for the attraction.




OTOH,
If an F40 is truly more desired, wouldn't supply/demand influence the price?

 

haha sounds good to me. my grandma lives near Orlando. so who knows.. ill tell you if i am heading down there some time. would you let me take some pictures of it

 

of course

 

haha sweeeeet thanks

 

Outside the fantasy realm of FerrariChat where real world currency is exchanged for titles, keys and cars, 410SA and I see eye-to-eye on sports car values.

 

Amen
