I think he bogged off the line. Sure made up for it, though...

there were only 350 F50's EVER made. Only 50 in the US! they are not sold. They are not even driven!
you could not even buy one from ferrari when they came out. They were leased ONLY with like a 300,000$ down payment, in addition to many thousands for your monthly payment. This was done to preven people from buying them and reselling them for 3x the price(which is common for these cars!). the lease was like for 3 years, and after that, you had the OPTION to buy the car for a few hundred thousand dollars.
ANYBODY with this kind of dough does NOT throw in a turbo "kit"! And rip around in the car!!
PLUS, tell me how you fit A tubo or turbo"s" into a car with 12 horizontally oposed cylendars? there is no room in these cars!!
if this is a real F50, he also did a hack job by shaving off emblims, and crap like that, which NOBODY would do!

you can see a real F50 shot here. note the differences such as the prancing horse, the FERRARI logo on top of the hood, the license plate recess...
After further scrutiny, i can see MORE differences, not worth saying. That cheap car in the movie clip is most likley a Pontiac Fiero!

Here's a picture of the interior, the switch above the shifter is for selecting either 6,7 or 800 hp.

that pic does not prove anything.
im talking about the movie pic.
does a KOENIG or whatever exist? that could be, but im talking about that MOVIE clip.
so what do you have to say about your "proof" being a STOCK engine shot?
and the "twin intercoolers? and the "blow off valves"?????
let me see an engine shot with this turbo kit!!

Re: WHAT DO YOU FORCED INDUCTION GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS? (speed51133)
after digging around, and asking around, i have found out that there actually is a Koenig turbo "kit" for the F50. This company sells body kits, interior kits, "high performance engine tuning", hood scoops......
ALL FOR THE f50 ferrari!!!!
i guess if someone is dumb enough to do this to an F50, maybe, MAYBE that movie could be real, but i doubt it!
the cost of the kit is 180,000 german marks. abit more than 80 grand.
i wonder how many kits sold.....
i just cant get over that the company sells BODY KITS, HIGHPERFORMANCE BRAKE KITS, HIGH PERFORMANCE CLUTCHES.........what do you think this car has stock??
it all just makes me doubt the credibility of the company.
my good friend saw a QUAD turbo testerosa a few years ago at a ferrari club meeting. He said it was pretty much laughed at. There is no respect amongst ferrari owners for people who butcher these cars.
Anyways, if that movie clip is real, i guess its cool

Re: WHAT DO YOU FORCED INDUCTION GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS? (87GolfKart)
Oh you did find that did you speed! I'm just messing around man. The picture you posted is a koenig f50.
The radiator on the F50 is front mounted. And those are blow-off's. Does all that piping really look stock anyways? The intake on the F50 is carbon fiber not metal, and it has rubber tubes coming off of the airboxes.
If you look closely at the picture you can see the tubes lead from the intercoolers to the intake manifold.

the pic i got of a SUPPOSED F50 was off an F50 based site. The pic was captioned as a stock F50.
PLUS, the Koneg company sells body kits for F50's, so thats why I saw all thoes discrepancies. Who would have known people put BODY KITS on a car that there only was produced 350 times EVER! Well, i bet that Koneg has sold MAYBE 1 turbo kit ever.

not really. An F50 has 3 radiators. it has 2 of them in the sides of the cars, around where the rear wheels are. It also has one up front. Thats why i thought thoes 2 black heat exchangers are radiators, which they still might be.The radiator on the F50 is front mounted. [HR][/HR]

Hey speed I think you are ignorent in this subject. There's no one better than me who knows Ferrari. I'm Italian and was born with Ferrari in my blood. Anyways I saw an F50 here in front of my eyes at the Ferrari dealer and the rear engine cover was open and in no way that engine is stock. I thought you had knowledge in turbochanging and cannot even recognize a blown F50
