Well, if you're gonna quote acceleration times, could you put up the 1/4
mile ET & trap speeds?

Also, 0-150 mph times for either car would be awesome...

Someone said it well that a true measure of supercar acceleration is to be
able to hit 150 mph in 20 seconds or less...you'd be surprised how many
"fast" cars cannot do this.

0-60 is almost meaningless to me, because you can take two cars with
identical 0-60s that have very different real world acceleration
abilities...

Also, what's the consensus of the F50's true weight? It's no secret that
Ferrari likes to underquote weight..2700-2800 lbs might be on the lighter
side of things for the F50.

thx,

FG
