    It would have been nice if they got a pic of a real F40, however. Also, I doubt we would agree with some of the other 49 cars chosen as "best".

    They also chose the 1962 250 GTO. At least that one looks like the real thing.

    That's funny that they used a photo of 288 Evoluzione, a much rarer car, (5 produced officially) though a sixth car did exist at least most of a sixth car.

    Oh man, so many of my much-loved cars are on that list! Thanks N4S! Great article to go through. Weird on the lack of the F40 pic....

    What's funny is that I had no idea the car pictured is a 288 Evoluzione. Because I knew it wasn't an F40, I mistakenly assumed it was someone's kit car. You should write to the Chronicle with the correction. :)

    That list is something that a bunch of Fruitcakes in San Francisco would compile.

    First, the picture is not of an F-40.

    Second, did you see the cars in front of it? Prius, Civic (2 models), Viper, Lancia Stratos, Miata, VW Golf, Fiat 500, Nissan Skyline, Austin Mini.

    Who wants to be on a list like that?

    Unbelievably immature and idiotic response, but I agree that the list is far from true in most people's eyes. Still, fruitcakes? What are you, some homophobic 8th grader?

    I emailed them and they have not corrected it yet. We'll see. :)
