WOW!!

I still like the rawness of the F40 though. If I had the 599, it'd be a garage queen. But if I had the F40, you bet I'd be pushing that thing

it would be the opposite for me
F40 would be the garage queen for me
i would save it for track use since the interior is bare min. so a bit impractical for road use

and push the 599 on the streets

Cool find Lexwang07, thanks!

I don't know how badly the F40 was actually beat by the 599, but it's still pretty gosh darn amazing that a 20 year old car with no no technology aids can even hang with Ferrari's latest and greatest...

f40 is still the car to get.

the step from 550/575m to 599 is really big performance-wise, but i still like the looks of the 575m better.

It wasn't actually a race; it was a promotional video. The F40 would spank the 599 up and down that road, and back again in a real race.

F40> everything except the F1, IMO...my 2nd fav car...

The 599 is huge, overweight, too complex, its the same company and 2 totally diff cars.

The F40 is light, simple and raw

Both supercars simply amazing engine sounds! So 599 GTB Fiorano faster than F40.
