One of my all-time favorite cars!

Yup, he's a Bay Area local. Too bad the car got biff'd at Sears Point last year, not sure if it's back from Italy yet for it's repairs. He was the first to get an Enzo from San Francisco Ferrari, which notably is the only dealership in the US owned by Ferrari.

I work a few blocks away from their garage, always a pleasure to drive by )

I'm sure you've already seen this website that has some great pics and videos of it:

Even after having a weekend of looking at hundreds of exotic Ferraris, this is still one of my favs.

Here is #001 as of 2 weeks ago:



Apparently this car is quite a handfull with over 800hp and a low curb weight. IIRC the driver stuffed it in the wall on cold tires during a warm up lap. Good news is the damage is just body work and it can be put back together. Ironically he had just got it back for Italy where it spent the last year and a half getting fixed from the last crash.

At least it isn't collecting dust in a museum somewhere....

A friend of mine used to own one of these, but I forget the serial. He actually sold it in favor of a regular black F50, he said it was just too much to handle. I rode in it once and it was quite a fast car. IIRC, the fastest production car Ferrari has ever made.

Loki,
Yes, I've seen the video from California Speedway, and I can never get sick of watching it!

I got my pics from here.... (9 pages worth)

I thought they were called F50 GT1s...

^I've seen them called F50 LM as well.
Not sure which one is correct though..
