Default 600hp Ferrari F40...holy crap.

I have seen heaven, wow. What an out of this world experience. 60-140 in 3-4 seconds, maybe. Hands down the fastest car I've ever ridden shotgun in. Jeez. 2nd gear redlined at 105mph, couldn't see the other gears. I got back into my S4 and pressed the throttle and was quite dissapointed, oh well This thing was doing 150mph and not even breaking a sweat...wow.

You should look into the new Ruf 911. ~570 HP. 0-60 in 3.4 sec. Top speed ~220 MPH.

Just think how fast *that* baby would go in New Jersey (although stealth doesn't seem to work there)

Default What was the hp on the F50 we saw at PIR last summer?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/14388/f50.jpg"></center><p>The guy who brought it out had it on the track during my first lapping session last July and left me absolutely terrified after he passed me on the main straight. The shriek from it's exhausts as it went by are still etched in my brain.

Default 520hp, it looks like.

That's no slouch...but I'm pretty sure this F40 would edge it out. It had basically modified turbos (wastegates) and a full turbo back exhaust. God it sounded great.

Default If I don't ride in one, I can't feel deprived of not having one.

I am afraid that if I did, I would feel deprivation forever because I can't possibly afford one :-)

I had to look down at my instrument cluster after the F50 passed me on the main straight at PIR to make sure that my car was still running. By the time I shifted to 4th he was braking for turn 1.

This one is even faster? Yikes.
