Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Just how fast is an F50 really??

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Doug: Right again, my friend. But it was closer to 70mph. I learned this 
the day Tom Reynolds and I swapped GT4s for an afternoon tour of the wine 
country of Baja Arizona, down around Elgin. There (IMHO) was no difference in 
performance until Tom started to creep ahead of me about 70mph in his 308 
'Mario' although I was shifting @ 7.5K rpm. We traded cars and the same thing 
happened. That extra litre sure pays off. On the bright side though, in each 
car I was always faster in stopping and tasting the fine wines of the region. 
Hell, Tom was just getting out of his car when I was ordering my 2nd glass. No 
'short dogs' in a paper sack around there. Damn - how I miss L.A. and Skid Row.
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

AND, you forgot to say this, its just as fast up to about 80 or 90 as a 308 
then runs out of legs. Your car is quite agile and a joy to drive.
