thanks for the link. but also the 456 doesn't explode per se - not at all. previous discussions have determined it to be a flame retardant that is sprayed over the engine to prevent damage.

the guy driving the car does that, and just that for a living.

I heard it was a coolant hose that popped?
I guess we all have heard a different story

also regarding the F50 vids, the first one it isn't a 'standard issue F50' (if you call one that), its a Koenig, compression dropped from over 11 to just above 8, huge turbos added, nearing ungodly amounts of power. you can hear the huge turbos in the first vid as the clutch is depressed. just go to http://www.koenig-specials.com

Cool videos.

I thought that F50 sounded kind of weird when he was shifting. Didn't realize that it had turbos in it.

The first video was interesting. I cringed when that red farrari (I think it was a Testarossa) scraped getting out of the driveway. Must've been a minor miracle to have all those ferrari's running at the same time

Nice horns too. They sound just like mine.
