    Great morning run...with the Legendary Ferrari F50, Ford GT.... and a camara man's vehicle, Lotus Esprit....I had decided to park my beloved CS there at starting point, and jumped in friend's F50, the one and only in Thailand. I would like to enjoy my time in this V12 SuperFerrari.

    Check these out:

    Watch closely, some parts of the vdo, The yellow Esprit was going at near 270 km/h which near maximum at 290. While F50 and Ford GT were still accelerating out hard, away and away toward 300 plus.... now, I knows what super of supercars league are like.....

    pictures will follow...


    Half an hour & 60Km+ aboard this amazing machine was absolutely my best experience on motoring. With N/A engine, 6-spd manual box, & old school three pedals, this car was resuming me some lost memory.

    Frankly, even its less capacity than TR, F50 is much...much more powerful 'cuz its big advantage from Maranello's weight saving programme.

    All I can tell, at the end, Im begging for MORE......


    Simply say that F50 is not just SuperFerrari, but its GOD made....

    And also I believe this car isn't for all, me neither. I cant afford to have one. Not ever will. To acquire one, you must have your own service team in the compound. Definitely, thats not a kinda car, money can buy. The owner has to have strong passion, big gut, and being damn crazy...haha

    Next drive would be F40. BTW, after today, I am not quite sure that F40 is still on top of my list!

    Forza Ferrari.....F50

    Nice review on the F50. I am sure after you have driven it, the F40 will no longer be on the top of your list.

    Should take the roof off and run it as a Barchetta to really experience the engine sound track.

    Thanks for sharing your experience, but you guys lose some points for driving recklessly on public roadways.

    I know...we normally push hard only while in light traffic. May I say we do care others.

    Agree; and to say nothing of telling every cop out there who you are and what you did and where to find you and the owners of the cars. Ego getting ahead of brains yet again. :):)

    Is maintaining an F50 really that bad?

    I do as well, the comment was to point out that advertising it on the web may not be to wise. Remember the lad in England? They came and arrested him.

    IMHO, F50 is extraordinary Ferrari. To own this car, respect and special care needed. Being told, after each run, the owner will always put the car up on hoy, to check and clean thing up before parking her well in garage. The car is full of F1 technology stuff and very delicate to own. Thats why I believe F50 is not a toy for everybody.

    Not at all. In my experience, the annual costs are less than a 456 GT.
