My boss bought one of the first 50 Ferrari F-40s back in 1987. Had it imported as a "modified Testarossa" in 1988. In 89 he blew the turbos and had the motor rebuilt to IMSA specs. Bigger turbos, bigger HP, BIGGER everything. After he got it back, he and a co-worker of mine decided to race. I was in the co-workers Callaway Corvette (twin turbo). They both had a great launch, and the F-40 just screamed away. The F-40 immediately pulled in front of us as he got ahead so we were looking square at the back of his car. The F-40 just left us. We accelerated to about 130, my boss said he was at 180 before he backed off. It was a hell of an experience.
