F40 beats F50 in all categories for me... its got more everything than the F50, and just looks "evil".. the F50 is too "pretty" for me.

I voted F50. The F40 is more pretty than the F50 IMO, but it is older, so you would have more technical problems with it if you bought one(?)
Still cars are very exotic thought!

F40/F50

Must be the F40, not only does it look awesome, but you never hear a bad word said about it, unlike the F50 which was slated for having the engine bolted directly to the chassis causing vibration.

I'd pick the F40 just because I think it's one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever. I just HATE the wheels on the F50! Plus the F40 is so RAW it would be an experience just starting it and driving down your garage way!

But in reality anyone who could afford to buy and especially RUN a toy like that could afford to buy both and would probably have a large collection of exotics as well. But if I was given one for a day it would definitely be an F40...

I like the F50, classic V12 engine based on the 1990 F1 engine driven by Prost! A turbo to me is like a last resort, a desperate attempt for more power. I also preffer the design, rouded edges over the F40's sharp ones, but that's just my sychosis. Renoir was affraid of sharp edeges and always rouded off the corners of his furniture.
I'm sure the F40 would probably beat the F50 in a duel though.

I think that depends on the criteria of the duel, if your talking about straight line speed the F50 would win. If your talking about driving pleasure then the F40 has beaten the F50 in all of the comparisions i have read. Turbo's are a bit of a last resort but you have to remember that the F40 came out in 1987 and getting 475bhp out of an engine was not as easy then as it is now.:smoker:

The F40 KO's the F50. when i said tha F50 is "pretty" i meant its too girly and doesnt have enough attitude, not like the F40. besides the F40 is just too raw for the F50, i have the distinct feeling it would spank it around a track, higher power to weight ratio 441 vs 424

the F50 wasnt an improvement over the F40 as it should have been

The F40 is a hard core racing machine, the F50 is a more kindler and gentler Ferrari with a softer setup for the rich dweebs like Bill Gates who can afford these cars, but do not drive them hard. Did you know he had an F40 and sold it a week later?
If the F50 was worked on it could be just as fast.

i wouldnt go OTT and call the F50 soft or gentle, or made for dweebs to cruise around in.. ferrari has sensors in the car so it can find out how hard the car is being driven everytime its serviced, and they very much want you to cane the thing! its still an awesome driving machine. just not an F40

I would take the F40 because I think it's a meaner car, and it's the last car from Mr. Enzo Ferrari.

I'd have to go with the F50. I love the F40, but the F50 is basiclly an upgraded F40. And besides, the F50 is the coolest Ferrari.

You could not be more wrong

The F50 is not an upgraded F40. As a matter of fact, its not as quick as an F40. Only slightly more powerful and substantially heavier, it's not a match for the '40.

The coolest Ferrari being the prima donna F50? unlikely
