Now thats a sexy 599 :)

F40's are balls out nuts!

But for pure sexyness, 599 takes it out for me easily.

Balistic Fez models aside, 599 to me is prob one of the best the jumping horsy has ever produced.

Yeah I hate the standard star-spoke pentagram rims. 599 with the optional rims looks the goods:

Don't usually like modded Ferraris, but this one I wouldn't kick out of my garage:

Yeah, not bad... I think I prefer the Novitec Rosso ones though. Is everyone a fan of the black wheels trend? Esp. with the white body? For me it works on some things like a white LP640 but I think it's done a bit too often

F40 was never about having brains, it is unashamedly about a heap of horsepower NO weight, and it's upto you to stay out of the scenery. To me it is the fact that it's objective was so raw, and so perfectly executed. "Whats that you want aircon?" well slide this bit of lexan back... Steering too heavy? Do weights. Passenger wants to converse while driving? Well here's your excuse to leave the bitch on the side of the road... I would sell my left nut, and any other body part for an F40.

Ferrari 599 GTO just looks so right in black..... I dont think red suits the 599 as well as some of the other colours

The F40 is an amazing car, but the front bugs me. For its time period but, its still a nice car

And your on a skyline forum? Do we not spend stupid amounts of money on a vehicle. Most people look at us for being stupid and wasting bucket loads of money on a car. They just have a lot more to play with.

An F40 is just a 288GTO Evolution built to a later timescale and to no purpose other than to seperate rich idiots from their money. So pretty much like all Ferraris then.

Anyway the base 288 was the business the evo was butt ugly.

Didn't know it was based on that model,

I'm not gonna argue with you about Ferrari's, I have better things to do.

I know I'd love to be behind the wheel of the last 'pure' ferrari made under Enzo Ferrari with the v8 twin turbo, an I'm sure ALL true performance car enthusiasts would.

Yes it appears I am.

Things people know about the F40.

1. It looks pretty.

2. It does 200MPH.

3. It uses carbon fibre/kevlar.

Things most people dont care about:

1. It has a horrible 1950s technology steel space frame chassis. Welding is done by Mr Blobby.

2. The carbon does stuff all - no different to the fibreglass Ferrari used for many, many years. It is not structural in other words.

Basically Ferraris are, historically, poorly engineered, poorly built, unreliable and handle badly.

What I cant figure out is why so many people think so highly of them. Put the engineering of a McLaren up against a Ferrari & Ferrari gets thumped. Put the innovation of Lotus against them, same result. Put the build quility of a Porker up against them - same again. And so it goes. The only car maker with such a deeply flawed product is Bugatti. Ok maybe Maybach aswell but that is beside the point.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
