Well, most people don't do a whole lot of modding to Ferrari engines... A few supercharged and twin turbo 308's are out there, the Koenig Competition cars, Richard Lossee's TT Enzo, and a few supercharged modern F cars. Relatively few. So yeah, they will get eaten for breakfast.

While the F body is a lower drag car, it really isn't a d/f car... in fact, just the opposite. The front end gets light around 120 mph, and gets really light @ 140.
