    Hi all,

    I was fortunate to spend last Friday afternoon in the passenger seat of the mighty F50 and I NEED to share the experience with those who would appreciate it...

    WOW just WOW, what a fantastic supercar!! I recently had a proper blast in an F40 and I didn't think it could get much better, however the 50 really opened my eyes to what is possible!!

    I was holding a video camera most of the time as I know these opportunities don't come around too often, so you're welcome to watch the video below.

    I've been in lots of serious supercars over time, but nothing has compared... The noise inside the cabin is just amazing, you feel everything, the acceleration through the gears really is impressive, so brutal when you get going and the noise, well there's no words to describe that!!

    Then there's the cornering abilities... it's like a go kart, so planted and true in the twisties...

    What an undervalued supercar!!

    Fantastic!

    So which one did you like more? The 40 or the 50?

    Nice video. You're correct by saying that you can feel EVERYTHING when inside of an F50. I noticed that when I went for a ride in my friend's F50 last year. Truly an understated car. Thanks for sharing!

    An F50 understated? Could you mean underrated?
