Saw a Ferrari F40 yesterday:)
Well, I was up in PA for work. Went to go visit my buddy at Villanova Law School and he mentions that there is a ferrari dealership right down the street from the school. So on the way out to get some dinner I tell him to swing by. Where I live I never see cars like this and I've always been huge on exotic cars. Small place in philly but what do I see at the front of the showroom, a Ferrari F40. Very awesome! Just wanted to share. There was also a daytona coupe, some F430s, a testarossa and I believe a 360 or two.

No, they were made in the late 80s, and early 90s I believe. It was Ferrari's supercar before the F50 and then the Enzo...

Cool...thanks for info. F-40's are cool and expensive. I bet they cost at least 100,000.00
What does LM stand for in the video? I heard once it meant "Logistics Management" or something like that.

Haha costs at least 100,000.... you must be kidding yourself. You probably can't even buy a seat out of that car for $100,000.00 (joking). They and the F50's are still going for $400-800k depending on milage..... and that is if you can even find one.

What a piece of shit. It looks just like a fiero with a body kit. Surely ferrari can do better than that.
I doubt those things go for much more than 60k.
My nissan 350z twin turbo would smoke that thing.

Well that was the supercar before the F40 right
I was never incredibly impressed with the F40. It did look much much better in person though. The main thing is just how rare. I live in eastern Virginia, I dont get to see too many cars like that.

I saw a Lamborghini kit car yesterday. It was made out of a Volkswagen, but it looked really cool. Just thought I'd share.
