That F40 is so awesome, it was a f'ing monster to be that fast back in the early 90's, very cool.

The C6 Z06 is a hair faster in straight line performance than the F40 - pretty f'ing crazy.

I think a z06 would be handed it's ass if the f40 driver and z06 drivers were both competent. It's a race car FGS!

id have to agree.. if im not mistaken, an f40 is a twin turbo version of a f50 correct? and the f50 did like 212mph.

No, the F40 is a twin turbo version...of itself ;-)
No but it was only made with it's TT V8, the F50 came in 1994-95 and has a N/A V12.

then they hace the race versions, The F40 LM, and the F50 GTR (fuggin sick azz car!!)

I don't care, I'd take a Ferrari F40 over anything, even something faster. I've wanted that car ever since I had my first Hot Wheel car!!!

As I said earlier, in straight line acceleration they are basically equal, the Z has the edge, did not say around a road course.

0-150 for the F40 is ~18.x

0-150 for the C6 Z is 17.x

F40
2.9L Twin Turbo V8
478bhp @ 7000rpm
424ftlbs @ 4500rpm
7750rpm redline
2976lbs weight
0-60mph: 3.8 sec
0-100mph: 7.8 sec
1/4 mile: 11.8 @ 124mph
Top Speed: 201mph
