thread_title:  "The car had no traction control, and was one of the few to utilize turbochargers." 

message: Can someone enlighten me before I make an edit?  An F40 is definitely not based on a Pontiac.  What is this sentance trying to say?  If it's that the F40 in the film wasn't a real one, but a fake one based on a kit car, why have this statement in the article?

replies: text: They are trying to say that the F40 in the movie was not an F40 but a Fiero dressed up to look like one.  Whether this info belong in the article, is another question.  I would say it probably doesn't. --Daniel J. Leivick 19:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems to me someone who is not a Ferrari fan for whatever reason edited this pages content. The issues are that the reception section is pretty much all negative, which is not the case. There were many reviewers who loved the car. Clarkson still calls it to this day his favorite car overall and many publications consider it the best supercar of all time. A quick Google search shows how favorable this car is to the car community.
Then there is the Car and Driver road test on this page. That is the worst F40 test that was conducted for the most part as it was done on a freezing cold day and the car (tires) had issues with traction like any performance car would in temps like that. Why not use the Road and Track test that is much better? Or some of the Euro tests?  
Link to a tested 202.5 mph top speed:http://up.autotitre.com/b81b4e5570.jpg
Link to one of two Road and Track tests (unfortunately I can't find a link to the other slightly better test they did). but this one is still more conducive to what the car would really do: http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-comparison-tests/reviews/a18686/extreme-machines-ferrari-f40/
Plus, why was the fantastic main image changed to a picture of one with the pop up lights up, and in a yellow tint that very, very few countries mandate?

thread_title:  Who "ruined" this page? 

message: Why was this edit allowed? It's obvious it was done by someone who is biased for whatever reason.
The comment about the negative press reaction is incorrect, I mean did anyone actually read the first reviews and watch the videos? The press loved the car. As for Ferrari only making this car to cash in, really? Does anybody actually know the history? Enzo wanted to make the best car in the world, and the plan was just to make a smaller amount. It wasn't Ferrari who jacked the prices up, it was the dealers and flippers...so this page contains terrible misinformation. The F40 is considered by many as the original, and best supercar. Evidence is all over the internet. Chris Harris recently did a review and said it was his favorite car - period. He also interviewed one of the original reviewers from when the car first came out who loved the car back then as well.

That section needs to be fixed. When I tried to someone edited back...no wonder so many complain Wikipedia isn't a good sourse of information...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.101.26.215 (talk) 14:52, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

If you don't like it, there are plenty of sites where you can muse about your favorite bedroom wall poster car and you being an IP user, you and your edits are not relevant anyway.

replies: text: I'm not saying it should be one-sided, but when the press about the vehicle was overwhelmingly positive (and verifiable sources reflect that) then the positive responses should be given more weight than the negative ones to reflect the actual nature of the press response.  Sure, some people have negative opinions too, and they have their place in the article, but as long as you're citing Wikipedia policy, maybe you need to reminded of WP:UNDUE WEIGHT. 75.71.194.124 (talk) 21:02, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia states the definition of curb weight as "the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment and hardpoints, all necessary operating consumables such as motor oil, transmission oil, coolant, air conditioning refrigerant, and sometimes a full tank of fuel, while not loaded with either passengers, cargo, or weaponry.". Accordingly, shouldn't this mean that the curb weight section should state the weight with fluids and not the dry weight? It would seem that listing the dry weight could skew people's perceptions, or at least those who don't have extensive knowledge of curb weight definitions, of the F50's weight compared to other cars.

replies: text: I agree and suggest putting 1254-1369 kg as curb weight there instead. 1254 kg was measured by AMS for the European lightweight version and 1369 was measured by C&D for an US-version, I suspect there were even heavier F40s since later cars had equipment the C&D car didn't but I don't know of any other test measuring the F40's weight.

message: This article currently has a section titled "F40 US Patent For Ornamental Design", which contains some sort of legal information about the patent for the car's design filed with the USPTO. This is presented totally without context. I don't see how this is useful encyclopedic content. I'm inclined to remove it entirely. Your thoughts? Prova MO (talk) 19:43, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
