    Having spent the last week hunting down some detailed tech specs for the F40, I've found a huge amount but am left with some basics that I'm surprised I've been unable to answer.

    The first is the weight distribution, I've seen 'roughly 50/50' to a pic of a plate in a car claimed to be 'ex-Mansell' showing nearer 60:40 and some 1430kg total weight!! Can anyone confirm what the weight dist. actually is?

    Moving to the shocks, the question is about the spring rate. Does the F40 use the same springs front and rear? Either way, does anyone know the rates for each? (either lbs/inch or kg/mm would be a real help)

    Finally I can find lots of 0-60 & 0-100 times but no 100-0 braking times or distances. Anyone know a source for that info?

    Sincere thanks in advance. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading through the many many informative posts, oh and the FXX thread has been a real highlight.
