Ferrari F40 hatch

Re: Ferrari F40 hatch

The car maybe fast and a Ferrari and all that but I wasn't impressed by the fit and finish. The interior was very sparse and crude. It was a straight up race car and not much of a work of art like other cars are.

That is very true. I guess that's kind of why I like it so much. Just like the Mustang Cobra R's, they were a track car straight out of the box.

i hear the paint is so thin that you could actually see the pattern of the carbon fiber panels

I agree 100%! If you look in the NACA ducts on the sides you can see paint lines because the paint was brushed on (yes, with a paint brush). These are my favorite Ferrari's in the world, bar none! I love every single part about the car and I have been lucky enough to have done 80 mph burn outs and donuts in the snow in them.

This depends on the years of the cars. On the roofs of the earlier cars you can see the weave clearly, although the later cars appear pretty smooth. I believe it is actually carbon-kevlar vs. carbon fiber.
