I spent $20 on raffle tickets at Mall of America for three chances to win a 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena. Drawing is this Sunday, but I never win that kind of stuff anyway. It's not my favorite, I prefer the 430 Challenge or Scuderia, but I'd definately take a 360 for free (plus taxes and etc.) But on a realistic note, the closest I'd probably ever come to having a ferrari would be a 355 Berlinetta since those are only a little out of my reach.

Honestly, I don't think it stands out enough to be a ferrari. It's definitely more of a tourer and it has that look. I would prefer they stick to amazing sports cars, not grand tourers like the 612 scaglieti or however you spell it.

this is the sexest car ever made by ferrari
enzo power, front engine, rear drive, f1 gear box, and bose audio

Eh, it looks like it could be a maserati or something. But I'm not looking to buy something like this right now, I'm sure it screams awesome when you're in it.

The Ferrari F40 (1987): The ultimate supercar in my opinion!












Only 1300 of these machines were made. For those who dont know, this car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0 V8, generating 478hp and 426lb-ft of torque. The car is also extremely light, only 1200kg. For a point of reference, my sisters 2002 civic sedan weighs around 1100kg. Performance achievable with this car is, 0-60 in 3.8s, 0-100 in 8.0s, 1/4 mile in 11.8s, and a top speed of 201.3mph (324km/h). The car is a beast and thats all there is to it.

Check this video, Im sure this is not a bone stock F40, but nonetheless, shows its potential and how much of a racecar it truly is:

On a side note, I have driven in a ferrari before. A friend of the family (my cousin's cousin) owned a 348, then a 355 and currently the 360 modena. I have been in the 355 and it was amazing. Not the fastest car, but definately quick, sounds amazing, and is a major head turner. Who knows, maybe one day...

The F40 was definitely a badass car. Personally, I always like Ferrari, but I didn't really start to lust after them until the F355, because it wasn't just a garage thing, and every Ferrari after that wasn't just a garage thing. Thank you NSX.
