How so? the F50 beats the F40 in every aspect last time I checked. I could be wrong. Dont get me wrong, a twin turbo V8 F40 Kills, but that F50, Damn. Still one of my fav's

I'd rather have a 575M Maranello Handling GTC. God, that is a beautiful car. Any Ferrari, I'd pick that one.

IDK. That, the F50, and the Enzo are definately up on my list. They're close though.

The F50 just doesn't have the best reputation in Ferrari circles. To the best of my knowledge, they were not raced officially in any form, while the F-40 certainly was. Besides, the F-40 is a $400k car with no real interior and a wire pull for a door handle, now that's just hard. I honestly don't even know how their straight-line times stack up against one another, I'm sure the F-50 is faster, but I'm also sure that I don't care.

Nevertheless, it's not like I wouldn't take one if someone wanted to give me one, but the people I know with Ferraris (which, surprisingly, is quite a few) seem to like to rip on the F-50.

Yeah I haven't heard the best reports about the F50 either. I know a guy who has what I think is an '88 Testarossa, and a F355. He drove a F50 at some convention, and he said it's not really much like a Ferrari. I love seeing him drive his F355 through my parents SUV-Yuppie neighborhood.
