Here are the things you should know about the Ferrari F40:
• The sticker price is $ 399,150.
• But dealers earn about $ 700,000 for one, bargaining from last summer's peak price of $ 900,000 and changing. Price does not include spare tire or jack. Not available.
• The price includes a free trip for two to the Ferrari factory in Italy for the purpose of showing buyers how to drive it.
• Speed is 122 mph in a quarter mile.
• Flat out, it's 197. You have our word.
• Insurance costs around $ 15,000. Every six months.
• F40 meets all US emissions and safety regulations. In short, it's legal.
• Once he got it, Formula 1 racer Nigel Mansell sold it.
• It pulls 1.01 g on the skidpad.
• Financed for five years, monthly payments on F40 run about $ 12,000 per month.
• One buyer does not want to take risks. Without driving it, he sealed his new F40 in the safest place available: his living room.
Sad to report, a destructive ball called Ferrari F40 has just put a big crow's feet on our rocky editorial face. It's hard to admit, the F40 has made our knees tremble involuntarily, our hearts do little stuttering steps, and it keeps our palms soaking wet. Doctor, doctor! Maybe the editorial legs touch the ground, maybe not - we'll get back to you later.
After two days on the road and afternoon on the test track, we can report that nothing we've ever controlled can match the mixture of raw fear and excitement that devour the earth in another three-quarter of a million dollar toys. (Our privately owned test car came to us thanks to the help of Ferrari dealer Rick Mancuso, who owns Lake Forest Sports Cars, in Lake Forest, Illinois. Understandably, the F40 owner wants to remain anonymous - not until one day he arrives home to find his family moved to a village in the Andes and a ransom note for, oh, about the F40 cash value.)
Starting the F40 was like, well, imagining eyes closed in a thick black cabinet with Michelle Pfeiffer, Cher, and Ellen Barkin and having to guess their identity without speaking - but, sorry, you're married. Imagine standing alone in the middle of a field at Dodger Stadium while the audience cheers. But imagine also driving a million dollars in your trunk and a three-foot sign on the roof with the inscription: "Millions of Dollars in the Trunk." That's what drives the F40 like.
