McGraw Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 That amazes me, 7.8:1 compression, about 7-8 p.s.i., and 478 hp @7,000 and 425 ft.-lbs.@4,000 on a 179 c.i. engine. 0-60 in like 4 seconds. And the Corvette, the new top dawg is 11:1 Compression 505 hp@ 6,300 and 470 ft.-lbs.@4,800 on a 427 c.i. engine, with a 0-60 of 3.7 seconds. F40 $400,000+ car Corvette Z06 $79,000 (I think that's the highest one, loaded with every option?) EDIT : BTW I'm amazed at the amount of power pulled from the Ferrari 179 c.i. engine. AND the price difference. Figured I'd go ahead and through both thoughts into the same post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ferrari has never been made for straight-line performance. Anthony's car will out ET an Enzo in the 1/4 mile. Does that mean the Enzo is an inferior car, and its insane pricetag is never worth paying?

turbomark Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 The F40 is quite possibly the best TRUE sports car that will ever be made. And remember since it's a turbo car, a boost controller and some balls are all that are needed for more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGraw Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 1.1 Bar = 16.17 psi I was thinking a Bar was more than 7 psi, but that's what I remember hearing somewhere. But I didn't think it was 16 p.s.i. So I did some research and found 1 bar = 14.5037738 pounds per square inch. The Bar measurement is generally used in european cars to represent atmospheric pressure. (14.7) Though there is a lot of differences depending on altitude. But for the sake of arguement let's say that 1 Bar = 14.7 P.s.i. Most cars that run one bar of boost are running at 29.4 p.s.i.a.(pounds per square inch absolute) which is the normal 14.7 psi the engine would be pulling normally AND it's being force fed another 14.7 p.s.i. I guess a lot of european cars that have a boost gauge generally have 3 bars on it? And I've read that some of the older Audi's actually sit at 1 bar with the engine off and at sea level. But a guage that is only measureing boost may read 0 bars until you get into boost. In which case the 1 Bar isn't necessarily equal to any specific conversion to p.s.i. it's all based on your current atmospheric pressure. Which is turn makes 1 bar, 200% of what the engine would normally be running. I guess this is where the old saying of 15 p.s.i. is double your engine power. Pretty neat stuff, Thought I'd just relay it. And thanks for making me look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controler Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 McGraw, good job doing your research. I will add that 15 psi doesn't necessarily mean double the specific output of the engine. The major consideration is how much air the turbos are pumping. The twin turbos on this car could be pumping more (or less) than a single turbo at the same boost levels. So then a larger turbo pumping 55 lbs/min would make a lot more power than smaller twins at 20 lbs/min each. However there would be a sacrifice then in power delivery as the power band would be moved toward higher revs. There are other variables as well, but you get the idea.

neonkiller Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Id rock it and drive it everyday, I couldnt imagine having such a sweet ride then getting up and looking at it every day with out driving it someone has been sheltered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 You can't compare a new Z06 to this car. Do you think a new Z06 would sell for 70k if only 100 were built? I'd love to have an F40. I also want an F50. And a few other Ferraris. I need to start robbing banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 lol i noticed theres a "slow down" light on the guage cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGraw Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I didn't mean to necessarily compare on a 'Z06 is better' type of arguement. I was more trying to point out how impressive the 179 c.i. built engine is compared to what we consider is 'badass' today. EDIT : And I also want a F50, have for a long time...

coty061885 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 My favorite Ferrari by far, the F40. It's so much better looking than the F50 and F60. I can't imagine how sweet (and intimidating) it'd be to drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl1647545492 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Cant possibly compare to a Z06,for starters you cant pretend you know how to drive a F40 it doesnt have traction control except for your right foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 its has one windshield wiper is that a jdm conversion?!?!?! lmfao. Yeah, I remember that the F40 was so terrible in competition because Ferrari couldn't fit wide enough tires to handle all the powwwaaaaaaa.

NOS50 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I love the F40.I remember an article on a guy in Cali that drove one everyday,they said insurance was about $25k a year.I seen an F40 downtown at a carshow years ago and I remember how bare the interior was,it was strictly bussiness.I think the F40 is the only Ferrari I would really like to have,the others just don't really do anything for me.I seen one in Dublin on 161 when I was going to buy a 68 Lemans off a guy that lives there.I told the guy I'd just seen an F40 and he said yea I see them all the time cause the Dealerships up here.I realized he didn't know one Ferrari from another and just let it go.

caseyctsv Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Am I the only one that noticed it has 327 miles and has already required service?? At a cost of $23K.

Nitrousbird Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I would rather have a car I can drive everyday (for the most part) than a uber rare, stupid expensive garage eater But you also have to understand the financial aspect of it. If someone were to give you that car, would you keep it?? I sure as hell hope not; it would make much more sense to sell it, and take that money to pay off all your debt, buy a nice house, or whatever with the money. A person that buys a car like that has a LOT of expendable income. They probably have a decent collection of cars (and most likely other Ferraris) already. Owning a car like that is just another toy to have. It is also a decent investment. That car most likely won't go down in value any. It's just too rare. So the rich guy could buy it, own it for a few years, drive it a little bit, and sell it to a point of breaking even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
