Default Ferrari F40 vs Ferrari F430 Scuderia

Autocar putting the 20 year old twin turbocharged red rocket ship up against an F-430 Scuderia? You will just have to find out like we did.

Here in Belgium our local Lexus dealer shares a showroom with...Ferrari. I have seen an
F40 being driven inside for revision once when we went there to pick up our new LS460 and it is a very impressive car that sounds like nothing i had heard before! Even more astonishing if you keep in mind it is over 20 years old.

The F430 Scuderia will be imo the car that will be the closest benchmark for the LF-A when it finally hits production as it has about the same size: if lexus manages to keep the weight as low as the Scuderia its more powerful engine should make it faster

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is faster than a Scuderia according to top gear. I think it looks nicer as well. The F 40 will always have a special place in my heart. Its a historical supercar. The layout is also so rare for Ferrari. Ferrari didnt do a lot of turbo cars

I have to say, I was very disappointed with this video.

All it was was this guy's opinion of which was better.

If you're going to do a segment on "'this car' versus 'that car'"...or "put 'this car' up against 'that car'...you need to put the two cars on a track...both with good drivers in them...and see who crosses the finish line first! They're race cars....if you want to know which one is better...race them! Duh!
