    It was the 599 launch so of course it had to win!

    That's the real matching sound of a 599.

    The 599 is a "better" car in every way. It is such an easy car to drive...and drive sickly fast. (Punch the fast-pedal and it goes 0-60 in 3.56 seconds...with two people in the car!)

    But for everything the 599 does and is, I'd still rather own an F40 for what it is.

    Promo or not ---- old or new --- closed road or not, that was a "dangerous" display. Best

    I guess the roads were closed to other traffic. Ferrari would not risk doing a Promo otherwise. To me the F40 won this duel. Or at least the Euro version of an F40 did as it is slightly faster than the restricted US version. O - 60 times are same as for the 599 published times. Well done F40. ..........

    Im not saying you dont agree, but because its easier to drive doesnt mean it its more fun :)

    This is the best video for the F40 - dont not watch it, otherwise you'll buy one!!
