    A C7 corvette came in the shop recently. When I walked out to the car both doors were up like the fiero pic ^^

    Not sure if I was supposed to be impressed/amazed??

    The worst part of these of course is they function in to way like a Lamborghini door. They open sideways like normal and I guess you are supposed to lift them up?

    So how do you describe this to your wife/girlfriend?

    "Sweetheart, what you do is open the door outwards like any other car (....'yeah) then lift it up in the air (.....'ok I'm lifting it up why? rolls eyes'). Now you get out and lower the door back down and close it like normal.

    Ridiculous! And amazing what people pay money for.

    Screw the Lambo doors. Think of all the hot young Latinas you could pick up with just a few mods. Make it a Lowrider with a bouncing suspension and install a custom crushed velvet interior.

    Amelia Island? Last one to sell at auction that I can find. SO this must be the one. Can you post a copy of the Massini Report to show us you're for real?

    Or better yet, the name of the prior owner?

    Maybe what time of day it crossed the block.

    Better idea, take out that crap motor and put a Hemi in it. That will make a statement for you.
    That, and I've always thought the one thing the f40 needs is a way bigger wing, the stock one is so puny.

    I think mods should lock this thread until we get serious and admit the obvious:

    You cannot gullwing your auction-bought F40 unless you auction-buy a 288 GTO first, which you turn into an aqua car submarine like they did with the Lotus Elite for THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.

    Everyone knows this, no matter what industry they work in.

    [SHAKE HEAD] Oh dear! [/SHAKE HEAD] - FYI: Gull-wing doors and Lambo-doors are two entirely different door designs!

    You need to re-watch "The Spy Who Loved Me" - James Bond drove a Lotus Esprit S1 - Not a Lotus Elite!

    Yep! I guess I should have said knife (or scissor) style doors. Still need to do the 288 conversion first, though.

    Of course... as well I should remember because not only did my ex-uncle total one new after falling asleep at the wheel, I've also met another fellow who totaled one.

    Thank you, Phil, for the corrections.
    Now back to the important business at hand of giving this 13yo budding CEO the proper respect he deserves for his well thought out ideas to improve his newly acquired F-four-zero!

    The mods should consider moving this thread to the following specialized section:

    288GTO/F40/F50/Enzo/LaFerrari

    I just threw my phone across the room. Why just why? Drive a lambo if you want the doors? I know I'm being trolled,but just why? Who do you think you are? I'd honestly rather see an F40 burn to the ground than see someone do this. I really hope this is a joke.

    When it comes to something as special as an F40 I consider owners caretakers of the car not owners. How dare someone destroy such a car.

    Ok on behalf of the FerrariChat community please accept our sincerest apologies for the Tom Foolery about your question

    Yes the Lamborghini doors add that special touch to your Fiero I mean F40. As they say doors go up panties down. You will get more ass than Mark Magrath
