Ferrari mimics Honda's sound. When Ferrari was founded, they idolized the Honda Accord v6, with vtec... mang.

Yes yes, flat crankshaft.
so I4s are arranged the same way? that might explain the similar harmonics and idle tone.

It'll out-accelerate an F50 or F60 (Enzo) from a 60mph roll. Twin Turbos > *.

But didn't 5th gear also test the new F430 and it out-accelerates the F40, correct, or that its faster or quicker (quicker meaning acceleration, faster meaning tope speed).


Still, the F40 is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad ass. I would donate both my kidneys and go on dialisis to have one.
