    Just to revive the thread of what is an awesome car as much as anything else... Pic of F50 sandwiched between a Porsche and a Dino :)

    Love that Defender! :) Is that an RS4 Avant? Those two plus the F50 make my dream garage.

    An F50 would make all that dullness go away :)

    F50 looks awesome, at first glance the 918 had an R8 look to it.

    I like the look of the 918. Will be interesting to see how the new breed of supercar ages however as better hybrid tech comes along. I don't think anything will now ever beat the F50 as the best of the analogue breed

    Having been fortunate to have driven the F50, F40, and Enzo, I have to say that, in my opinion, the F50 is simply the best handling car among the Ferrari Supercars (without electronic assist). The car just feels right and he gearbox is so much better than that of the F40. From my personal experience, I agree with EVO and Top Gear publications in their comparisons between the Ferrari Supercars!

    Joe--thanks for sharing. Great pic.

    What's your take on the percentage of Ferrari supercars that remain single owner machines? I am always amazed when I see one of these cars that is still owned by the original buyer. They seem to be quite rare.

    Very rare, I'd say there are only literally a handful of F50s in original ownership.

    Wouldn't all of them be at least two-owner, due to the mandatory lease arrangement? ;)

    No, not all F50s were leased. Its a urban legend that You had to lease it.

    Saw my first ever F50 this weekend. S/N 103879. Truly breathtaking cars in person.
