If the F50 is just a car, than the Grand Canyon is just a ditch. :o

true... the grand canyon is a ditch... especially from outer space

i dint mean that it is just a car, like a paseo is just a car, but that it is a mortal object, and can be surpassed. it isnt god. some will argue, but everyone seems to have a preconceived notion that since it is a ferrari, and an f50 no less, that it will destroy anything. that isnt always the case. that is what i was implying.
it isnt about the name, it is about the numbers, and both cars have amazing numbers. so they are close. that is what i was trying to say.

Well, the F50 has better straight line performance and will have much much better handling. Winner: F50

i am assuming that most of us are going by simple numbers here, and i may be wrong...
but how many of us have actually driven either car to say that the handling is better?
yes, an f50 has amazing handling, but from every renntech test that i have seen the handling numbers are pretty damn good, so i wouldnt count it out completely... just a thought

i dont necessarily disagree...
but it seems that everyone is just going for the hands down, win b/c its a ferrari route.
the renntech isnt just some car, it is a highly capable car worthy of comparison to an f50. it just seems that no one is taking that into consideration... ya know?
i think that overall, as a car to drive, the renntech is a better daily car, but for pure excitement, f50.
but then again, you expect the f50 to knock your socks off... whereas the renntech is amazing, b/c benzes are luxo mobiles...

that is what i am gettin at...

Well, the lateral g's for the renntech is .85...compared to the Ferrari (which is also mid-engined and capable of producing enough downforce at high speeds to keep it glued to the road if the road were to corkscrew!) which is 1.03.
