I'll leave that debate to someone who has actally driven them more than a 
few miles - my only seat time in a Ferrari is in a 87 328GTSi so my exposure 
to these supercars is limited to reading, TV and video.

However (saw that coming, right?)  ;-)  from what I've seen I believe some 
people feel all 3 of those would be poor choices for a long trip - which I 
believe is what you were saying -  I do have a video of J Surtees test 
driving a F40 proves that out - if the audio is accurate.  That sucker was 
pretty loud.  While I enjoy the music a 12 cylinder (or 8, 6 or 4) makes, if 
it;s too loud it gets tedious.  After 3 or 4 hours at least.

;-)

Have a nice Sunday --
