Uh, hello? The F40 engine is a TWIN TURBOCHARGED. Much better engine? Yea, right. Go through a corner while adding some gas, and have fun as the turbos suddenly kick in and you go spinning into a ditch.

Naturally Aspirated engines are better. If youre comparing their engines, then compare the twin-turbo F40 to a twin-turbo F50, which will make 800 no problem.

I've seen a dyno chart of an F50 and it actually hit peak power at 8000rpm, contrary to the 8500rpm that every1 thinks. The F50's Tipo130 engine is much better than the F40's. For the roadcar, its designed to handle a continuous 9000rpm, but noise regulations called for an 8500rpm redline. In the F50GT, the engine has been modified for 750hp at 10500rpm, NATURALLY ASPIRATED.

So speak for yourself when you say the F40's engine is better.
