    I don't know about you, but the 430 looks old fashioned compared with the F40. There is no comparison..............so why am I taking delivery of an 430.
    I'm not really sure. The F40 just looks so much better. And their right, when they talk about the turbo push in the back when the F40 takes off. You just can't beat that.

    If you read it, you will see its not silly and they arent making it a direct comparsion as if u were deciding which car to buy tomorrow, but more a tribute on how great the the F40 actually was 20yrs ago and how much Ferrari has advanced since that time.

    Good article. I love that exhaust on the F40, very shiny :)
    I was also wondering why the F40 has three exhaust pipes. Is one of them used as a blow-off?

    The F40, just looks, so out of this world to me. When I went past SVM in sydney last week, I was in a cab and I got really excited seeing this THING in their window and how great it looked AND then had to remind myself..............."you idiot, why are you getting excited about a car you own 2 of". And to think that an F40..IS almost 20 years old in design, it has to be, "that day, that everyone at the Ferrari factory"........."GOT IT RIGHT"
