I REALLY want to know how fast that thing is on the ring. Its gota be in the low 7:30s. 510 hp from 4.3l THATS JUST RETARDED, but im not sure how reliable it will be, but who cares its look fantastic.

So many cars have gone up in value and carry similar risk to any investment. I agree that it may be a poor investment, but tell that to a Corvette collector where certain models have gone up to and over $500,000. Not just Ferrari's but many cars have gone up in value.


Man what I would do for an F40

It's only a slight increase from the fairly reliable base F430 motor. There's nothing about the engine that really increases the propensity for problems, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. You know, if you were buying one.

As for your time estimate, I think it's really optimistic. The C/GT has 100 HP more and weighs about the same (I think Aero is about a wash) and it is in the 7:30-7:40 range. The Z06 can turn low 7:40 times and I think that's a reasonable comparison - similar power, though the Z06 is a bit lighter. Again, the x-factor would be aerodynamics (and how willing someone is to pile up their $400k poseur car ).
