    Nice video. Well stated, they aren't comparable; both stand tall on their own right. The video for me served as a reminder of just how great these supercars appreciate in value.

    Awesome video. They are two very different cars like he mentioned, but I do like how he mentioned how on top of their game Ferrari is at the moment.

    This video seems to focus on the F40. Little wonder!

    As an aside, I like that Andrew Frankel has done his homework. Listen carefully at 2:52 as he points out the origins of the F40s engine which came from the 288 GTO. I did a post on this in the 288 GTO thread about a week ago. Neat.

    I also love the parting shot, which is of nothing at all as the car has driven beyond the frame, but the camera lingers, and all you hear is the crackling of the overrun. Classic!

    Did you ever weigh a US F40 with all fluids and a full tank of gas?

    USA just under 3000, Euro around 2700. And the GT/LM/GTE was even less....
