Cars that get you all hot and bothered

F50 > F40, sorry. Its sexier, its aged better, it performs higher, and its sadly under-appreciated.

This article questions that sentiment among a lot of F car aficionados. I'll always love the F50 the most, it just a car that "gets" me more than any of the others. I like the F40 too, but never really hopped on its bandwagon.

A commenter summed it up nicely in that story;

Shhh. This is that one car that only true connoisseurs "get" whereas all the footballers and nouveau rich go tool around in their Enzos.

*I tip my hat and toast to you, dearest F50*

Those cars just look punishingly fast.

F40 Ôëê F50, sorry.

I don't think I could choose between them. Either one over the Enzo. There is just something so intoxicating about the simplicity of the F40 that I think the F50 starts to lose a little. I love that the paint so thin on the F40 you can see the carbon fiber texture under it. Also, the V12 performs higher but the F40 has turbos. Because turbo. The looks are a subjective toss up to me.

Personally I think I'd rather have the F40, but I don't think either one of them is better than the other.

prepare for fisticuffs.

Its sexier, its aged better

surely you jest. racecars are sexy, and the 40 is more of one than the 50.

the 40 was insanely ahead of its time when it came out not only in construction, but looks. and looks modern even now. the 50 is an obvious child of the 90s. :bootyshake:

it performs higher

every ultimate Ferrari outperforms the last one. it has to, or the company looks like a joke. fortunately, people who know better, know the 40 is far more raw to drive and therefore more awesome in every way. i've heard miata drivers use similar logic in defending their slow cars.

its sadly under-appreciated.

because better cars like the F40 exist.

contrived nonsense

The false vitriol you spout so profusely only strengthens my argument, my dear Scotty. If anything, relatively speaking, the 50 was more advanced, and harder, for its time than the 40. The 40 is fierce, but not elegant - the 50 is purposeful, and timeless.

You know what? Get your quarters and throw down like a man.

[ScottyB]

senseless ignorance

keep the change, yah filthy animal. imma fire up my floppy drive.
(see which one's winning? you don't, its going too fast)

The 40 is fierce, but not elegant

:lol: you can have your "elegance". i'm sure they have handbags that go with that.

i'll take the one that's an animal.

Whatever dude. Enjoy your furnace deathtrap. I'm off to Monaco with a stop in St. Tropez.

[ScottyB]

Enjoy your furnace deathtrap.

I WILL, thank you.

that's where you're wrong.

f40 was far more of a shock to the system than the f50 at release.

google results:
"f40 better than f50" = 3 hits
"f50 better than f40" = 1 hit
therefore, f40 is 3x better than f50.
