I have sat in a F40, that's the nearest I'll come to owning one.

F40 is a bit over egged I think.

 

Some people's VX220 on here would have similar capabilities I think. At the end of the day it had 350 HP/ton, not so amazing these days.

I remember in 2005 or 2006 travelling in convoy to Le Mans in the vx at around 90 on a nice dual carriageway when one of these came past us like we were parked, still brings my hairs on my neck up, awesome piece of history
