I show a Pirelli P-Zero Asymetrico as being stock.
I have ONE GSA left in stock now. I can try and find another if you'd like a set. Let me know. Call or PM....

RufMD,
Congratulations! I almost bought one yesterday, but the mileage (13K) was a bit high. Seems the F40 prices are very dependent on mileage. Too bad as I would probably but 10K on it in the first year!
How is the car on full boost with 91 octane? Do you hear any detonation? Is it as fast as your R Turbo?
Also, have you ever driven a CS? Is so, how does the F40 compare? The CS is a second or two faster at the Ferrari test track due to all its high-tech stuff.

As far as the Ruf goes..well I still think the Ruf R Turbo 550hp feels faster and is so effortless in getting there. You have to work harder with the F40...thats probably what makes it more fun to drive than the Ruf, but I just love the R Turbo...a beast of a different era, and much different approach. Lets put it this way, the last two cars to be pried out of my hands will be the F40 and the R Turbo. On a highway run yesterday, I got on the F40 and it ran unbelievably quick and just wanted to run out from under me. I got home, and wound down from the experience (no joking there).

I love the way the car opens to. That's a lot of fun to show people.
I know the Ruf cars are faster, but it's hard to beat the Ferrari experience. Several Enzo owners say they prefer their CS for a more stimulating experience. Since the F40 is even more stimulating then the CS, that says, to me, that the F40 is likely more fun to drive than an Enzo! I think the CS is the only modern Ferrari that came close to the F40. It's just wonderful how you can see the carbon mesh on the F40 through the paint. The car was built for pure performance with no compromises... I guess they could have left off the paint or inside felt, but that's probably not too much weight!
