Thanks for posting - that was really kool even though I don't think I've ever seen either car. Still -- they are FERRARI'S and ya just want to know more about them!

Thanks Scott! I've always loved both cars, and after seeing them side by side I think I like old school better.

That`s a cool video

Cars like that is no more, the "poster-era" cars. When kids had posters of dream cars in their room.

Cars like this:

F40 + The GTO (who I had an Picture in frame of )
Countach
Testarossa
Porsche 959

The end of the era was

Jaguar XJ220
The ZR-1
And the Lotus Esprit was Nice too. These are the one I remember as a kid atleast.

Before People could dream of owning an 911 Turbo or Testarossa or other sports and supercars for their Whole life or most of their life without owning one.

Now everybody can just go and buy a Porsche if they really want, or a Vette or Ferrari, I could if I want too, but then I would have not any Money left, but I COULD if I want, before People could not at all.

Stuff like that was only in a dream, that goes to other stuff too, not just cars, TV`s, Telephones, gadgets and Kitchens, modern People can get what they want without to trying to hard. If you want it, you can get it.

The times of dreams are somewhat gone now.. You just get it when you want it...

(altough I like getting what I want.. Well, not all, but most I want.. )

What does kids have have Pictures of and posters of now? What are their dream cars and such? A riced out Supra or a BMW?

Hmm.. That came out of nowhere from..

I've always held the F40 near the top of my list. I like everything about it, especially all the things it doesn't have! Big HP, light weight and a chassis you can dirt track like that is the kind of adrenaline pump I dream of!

I was never a huge fan of the body style of either car, but the song from the F50's V12 is pure car porn for sure!! and after all, they are Ferrari's. Quite a design and performance at the time.

Great video post Sieg!! THANKS

(apologies for the slight hijack)
Makes me think back to the beautiful sound of those Ferrari F1 V12's during the 1989-1994 seasons

[Sieg]

Speaking of poster cars does anybody remember the Vector W8. I had that
on the wall back in high school haha.
