I was meeting from friends in a parking lot and we were going to car pool to a car show called Hot Import Nights in Chicago. We were slowly getting stuff into my friends car to go when my friend says "hey look, theres a ferrari". i figured it was the doctor with the 360 so i wasnt insanely excited but when i looked up at saw a 1995 silver F50 roll by I almost shit myself. We jumped in and caught up to him on the interstate. Needless to say I used 1 of my 2 memory cards before I even got to the car show.

Enjoy.

Niiiiiice, I have only seen an F50 a few times...once an F50 was going the opposite direction on the interstate, and I could hear him from across the 50 ft wide median, with my windows rolled up and the radio on! :twisted:

They are quite impressive, especially up close parked next to another 'normal' car, they are so incredibly low and wide...

Chaos in 1983!

No shit!! I didn't even know that silver was an option for those cars. For the 1st time in my life I saw an F-40 on the highway out here in Colorado. I've never seen one parked or anywhere else for that matter except at a car show. To see one on the highway was awesome. It didn't last long as it was going the opposite direction, but those cars are instantly recognizable from a long way away!

i don't know about you guy but to me, the F50 is like the ugliest ferrarri EVER. it does perform good but the look is just horrible.

I don't know about that, I might just be seaing things but it appears, to me,
as though he's sleeping. :sleeping: Does anyone else see this?


Great sight, poodie, silver F50s are very rare in the states, most of them
were sold in Europe(silver is a very European color).

The kid wasnt sleeping. we made eye contact, it was a little awkward haha cuz we kept speeding up and slowing down to take pics. he looked like 13-15years old. little bastard

well yeah if you compare a ferrari F50 to a fucking Alero then of course it look good. try comparing the F50 to a porsch GT2 (996) or a F40, then it look just plain ugly.

Very lucky man!!! The F50 is the only "modern" ferrari I haven't seen in the road yet! It would be impressive to see and listen it!

I don't speak English very well but...are you saying that F50 is ugly????? :shock: :shock: Incredible...

I suppose you have to ask specially to Ferrari for getting this colour...I don't think grey it was in the comercial colours of the F50

I have only once seen a F50 but I'll never forget it. There was a 100m line filled with cars in front of the stopping lights and I was waiting for the bus. And when I got sight of that F50 I just got up and stared at it till it pulled away. It was in my sight for about 2 minutes and damn, what a nice 2 minutes :P Awesome car. Looks sensational. I've got 2 scale models of it in my room.

Lucky man... I've seen a couple of red F50s, a yellow one in a Ferrari meeting... but never a silver F50, rare but beautiful! Otherwise "see a F50" doesn't compare with "hear an F50", it's just unbelievable! Hope my 147 Selespeed sonds like an F50!

Have you ever hear about a Ferrari Owner´s club in Cantabria?
I usually go to Noja at holidays and isn´t hard to see various Ferraris including a F355, 328 GTS and even a Testarossa. The last weekend that I went here my dad go for a walk and in the beach park he saw 4 Ferraris!! by the description the same 3 cars that I normally see but there was another by my dad´s description "the others are very wide and low (all Ferraris are) but this is even wider and with a enormous rear wing" I wonder that is a F40 or F50... I still hitting my head to the wall.

I think the whole car is amazing, id go as far to say i like the styling better than the enzo.

I'd love to see a car like that, most epensive exotic I've seen is a 360 Spider.

i never said i wouldn't ride the car or buy it (If i had like A LOT of money), i'm just saying it doesn't look good at all, the front is ugly as hell and that back doesn't help much either. I know other then the look, the car is fuking good.
