    I always forget how small they are until I see a pic of one with someone in the driver's seat.

    Thanks for the video.

    What a sound! :)

    Did you enjoy the day? Any particularly special cars that showed up?

    DK's facilities are unique, been there on a private visit before. Amazing to see what goes on inside with such a stunning collection of cars, both Ferrari and other.

    That's down on power then with 15% loss. Cant imagine how much a stock F50 makes then!

    If it´s at the wheels, than it would be right with the 15% rule for the drivetrain.

    But in my opinion, the F50 doesn´t react with more power to an aftermarket exhaust. We tested a stock F50 against a Tubi equipped F50 and the stock one was faster in acceleration. After bringing it back to sock exhaust, both cars were the same!

    Great pictures, the showroom lot appears to have remained unchanged since my visit. The 250LM, 300SL, DB6 Short Chassis Volante, skyblue 275 GTB. So looks like they've left them sitting.

    If you weren't already aware I believe the TR59 (pictured sitting next to the family's 500TRC) is a recreation. Unfortunately I can't remember any details regarding the car on the fly. If that's the car it was aquired fairly recently from an overseas owner. I could be wrong but fairly certain that is the car, details look similar.

    Awesome video!

    But who builds a dyno room with the rear of the car facing inside?

    Also, there are no straps tying down the front of that F50! Who runs this shop?!?!?! That's a multi-million dollar accident waiting to happen!

    There is a ventilation shaft that sucks the exhaust fumes out.

    Forget the fumes, the front end is not strapped down. That's just begging for something bad to happen.

    You would think the owner of the F50 would know better.
