After quick verification, I'm sure an F40 does 0-100Km/h in about 4.5 seconds and believe me it's not that slow

... for you knowledge an F50 run it in 3.9s

Where did you get that info (just curious)?

Like have been said before, Ferrari claims 3.9 for the F40 and 3.7 for the F50.
And I've seen those numbers confirmed by some magazines.

But then again, I've also seen some 4.x numbers.

4X times! I'm surprised about it. I've seen these times in every mags and Ferrari books I red, but I confirmed with the first one I found , it's called "Models Ferrari".

F40

F50

Wait a minute I will verify on Ferrari web site...

Well after more investigation on the web I didn't found any informations that can confirm my data

but have a look to that F40 http://www.mcarsweb.com/ferrari/f40.htm ...much more faster that an enzo

Yeah, I see... Like I said before the F40 0-100 times varies a lot.

1st: The Lightweight package: a factory option that brings the weight even further down. Around 50Kg, if I'm not mistaken...

2sd: Tyres. Since we're talking about a old car, newer tyres will make a big diference.

And then the usual factors that influence every car's time.

As for the F50, a 3.9 is only 0.2s off, so it seems reasonable.

EDIT: Haha, 3.5...

Jeremy Clarkson(Top Gear)...when he tested the F40, McLaren F-1, Enzo Pagani Zonda, Carrera GT, XJ 220 (Enzo's episode) said ..
"F40 0-60 mph in 3.2s, and nothing you've seen tonight can match that" did anyone see that?

I think the 3.2 seconds, actually is the F40 LM..
by the way...
quicker than the McLaren F-1?!?!

Yeah, but Clarckson was wrong. He messed up the numbers.

I'll see if I can find the LM time tough.

Clarkson is always wrong(almost

)...And it doesn't surprise me since he's a guy who calls the Enzo the F60.
