I'll second that, the F40 is much cooler looking....has a "Classic style" about it....

DMC's don't do anything for me. They are to 80's, and there looks promis stunning performance, something there drive line is unable to deliver.

For similer money I rather have a Ferrari 308 or a Honda NSX. The NSX has a V6 as well, but it puts out a ton more power.

the finish on the f40 is usually a weak point with the fiberglass body. I've seen a few and all were pretty weak. I've always preferred the f50 anyways. The enzo is beautiful in person.

I have to agree that the Enzo is a great looking car but the F40 appears to be brutal to drive. It's a street car but grossly unrefined in its power delivery due to the sequential turbo setup. Or so they say...

Well at least you want to get another one, that's a good sign. I actually probably wont get mine for awhile. I'm selling my w123 300D to get a w124 300D. The DeLorean will have to wait
