BlankI'm watching a tape from last nights race at Road Atlanta and for the 1st 
time I noticed a strong resemblance between the F430s silhouette and the F40. 

Anyone else see this similarity?  Wonder if it's aerodynamic, historic or 
coinkydink
 (coincidence)  ;-)  ?    

A few years ago Porsche was developing some race car (962 perhaps?) and a 
reporter asked about the apparent resemblence to a 917 and the proj manager 
replied "aerodynamincs don't change".  Or something like that.    Wonder if 
that's the case with the F40 and F430?  hmmm even the name is similar.

Take Care,
Larry T
