I was actually a little disappointed with this one from him. I wish somebody would show the dash of the F50 when it's moving; it's such a unique piece.

I know he was told to thrash it, but a road test would have been fantastic as well.

Don't get me wrong, anytime there's a video of these two, is special...i just wanted more.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen so much emotion from him.

So cool! But yeah, why are these videos so short? I guess even if it was 2 hours I would still feel it was short.

It could have been as long as they wanted it to be and I'd still have watched it. Loved the video. And the F40... what a beautiful car!

Love it! It'd be interesting too if someone could do a writeup of the driving experience with a classic like the F40 against Ferrari's latest & greatest the TheFerrari...

Analog vs Digital

For all it's technical sophistication and speed, I just don't see how LaFerrari is going to one up the F40 for sheer driving pleasure, but we'll see . . .

I'm entirely speechless...to me CH is the very best motor journalist out there (maybe Tom Ford can keep up with him) and this is one of his very best videos! I especially love how he just freaks out while pushing these two dream cars on the track! I am missing that kind of emotion with most other journalists. I agree the video could be longer but if you compare it to Evo's ridiculous 17min analogue supercar gathering (where they spoke 1 minute about each car and that was it) I figure it's rather long enough. Plus even though the F40 is an icon to me as well, in this test I was more amazed by the F50...could be due to the sound though!

Great stuff. I wish I still had that "kid in a candy store excitement" when I got in my cars.
