Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F40 vs. the new punks

That's a very fair assessment. The best description I've ever heard is "It's
like when Han Solo hits the hyperdrive in the Millennium Falcon, and all the
stars zoom toward you."

Wow...very impressive!

You have around 588 at the crank, assuming 15% driveline loss...

Turbo LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)


Do you like the turbo lag? I drove a 911 Turbo last year and the way the
power comes on is very "interesting"....I can now see the appeal of turbo
motors, although I'm not sure I'm completely sold on the concept.

Was gonna say if you wanted to eliminate lag you could probably re-work the
turbo plumbing....is the car slow off boost?

I remember the FORZA article on the 288 GTO where the author said off boost
any car could take it, but once the boost came on, it was sure to "frighten
the uninitiated"...

Fair assessment?
