USA FERRARI F40

Prefer the visual stance that the 'stache contributes to the front of the car. That said, downforce-wise, seems the entire sloped front of the Forty must lend a pretty decent hand. As have noted on LM's/GT's, etc. that not much in the way of a front splitter was added, even as they went for a bit of yardage on the wing out back.

 

Dear Comrade pinkumbrella,

The highly regarded Joe Sackey omniscient preceptor in all things F-40 has stated within a post preceding this that the Euro F-40 should be referred to as "The Lightweight F-40" however, I should be pleased to see evidence of the fitment of the American moustache to a UK F-40 that Joe purports to aid cooling.

Furthermore, I am to write to our Prime Minister of England with the suggestion that the illustrious Joe Sackey is nominated for an inclusion within our Queen's New Year Honours list. He is of English extraction so there is clearly potential of a knighthood thus that evermore he shall be known as Sir Joe Sackey.


With kind regards,

512 Tea Are (Pilot of The Lightweigh F-40 as determined by Joe Sackey - soon to be knighted)

 

I agree 100%.

 

I agree there....who compares supercars in the wet????
And yes, even though it wasn't continually raining, it WAS damp and wet for most of the test.

The F40 is meant to be driven in the dry for a fair comparison.

Read ANY other F40 test, and you can see the GREAT reviews they got.

Hell, I have about 6, and they are all 95% or more postitive.

And a certain very picky guy from Top Gear considers it one of, if not his favorite car. And we all know who that is LOL.

 

Has anyone (and if so do pictures exist?) of a colour coded front lip to the US version of F40?

 

Certainly do not disagree with that at the minute

 

But surely the fact that there are corners and bends on my dearest UK roads means the cars get a thorough testing

 

This unit does look attached to the car rather than part of the car, if perhaps it were colour coded it would provided a more fluid shape (this is no criticism, i love the form of the F40 regardless)

 

That there are sir, have you personally sampled any of them?

 

The afformentioed "evo" magazine is a regular visitor to our "twisties"

 

with all due respects, you two need to get a room....or let me put this in language the good "comrade" can understand...

"what a load of bollocks"

 

i was referring to the Sackey/Lord Haw Haw lovefest....sorry for the confusion Paul !

 

Ahhhhh, that s OK, I just didnt want to be tangled up in a trans concontinental dispute.

Its all good fun (or at least I hope it is )

 

likewise !

 

Joe,

Do you display your car at shows at all?

Jas,

Have you got any more shows this year?

Paul
