cool video. I think an F430 would have been more appropriate than the 599 which is more GT. F40 is ill, make me reminisce about the 456

There was NOTHING in the 1980s that could touch the F40 for its concept, performance and pure presence. I mean, the 599 is still a great car, I'm sure.

compared to the styling of the f40, the 599 seems so mundane, as do most newer ferraris IMO

Thing is, if you dropped in the 599 engine into the F40. The 599 would most likely be smoked.

I know "the man" isn't to fond of cross referencing forums for one reason or another but ... this one is worth.

Yeah I agree too. The F40 is one of the greatest cars ever made, I'll take the F40 over the 599... plus you can't go wrong with them twin turbos
