Dyno Testing My $3M Ferrari F40
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- When I bought this Ferrari F40, I was told it was tuned to have more horsepower than a stock F40, however I wanted to find out for myself and put the myth to the test. The question was, how much more horsepower did it really have?
Today we take my Ferrari F40 to the dyno to see how much power the twin turbo V8 actually puts down and find out if its more powerful than the stock version of the car.
Thanks for watching!
Ron is a gem for posting this, no F40 owner would ever make a video like this! Respect
Thanks, Bro! No F40 is putting studded snow tires on it and ripping around on a frozen lake, either. (Oh wait I’m not supposed to tell you whats coming up)
@@supercar_ron what a goated and underrated man. huge respect to you.
Isn’t there a huge event where owners of high end classic/luxury cars drive around on a frozen lake. Including Pagani, Ferrari 250, old race cars, etc. I’m assuming that’s what’s being referenced, unless you did it yourself which is cool regardless.
Edit: it’s at the St. Moritz frozen lake.
👍
no f40 owner tunes their car either and whoever owned it before mustve been a mad man
The F40 has been a dream car for so many people for so many years. This thing is just awesome.
Amazing machine 😍
I'm building my dream supercar 😎
Ron is a man of the people. The people want F40 dyno pulls. He provides
Ron - “if I had seen an F40 just casually rolling down the highway, I think I’d lose my mind…”
Well, I spotted your F40 from about 100 yards in Draper a month or so back and I did lose my mind. I’ve seen 2 F40’s in the wild. The last one was about 15 years ago in Denver then I saw yours in December. I instantly knew what it was but was blown away to see one on the streets in winter in Utah. I posted a terrible photo I got of the moment online and everyone jumped in to tell me it was yours and to go check out your content. It’s been fun to get up to speed on all your cars and the fact you actually drive them. Well done, keep it up! The F40 might be the best drivers car ever made, it’s certainly in the conversation.
I saw one on the street but it was a long, long, looooonnng time ago ✌️
there is one local to me in the south of the uk in a town thats high street would be worth less than the car itself and the owner doesnt drive it lightly nor in perfect conditions either
What’s more remarkable is that this is only a 2.9 liter engine - and these came out in ‘87!
That's double spinny bois for ya. :)
F40 has been one of my fav cars since who knows when. Love this thing
Nice dyno facility. The guys at the dyno were not impressed - lol. Thanks for sharing this as no one has ever done it before! A true car guy who actually drives his collection.
they probably had a honda eg with 1300hp on the dyno just a hour before lol they see the most crazy shit
That was cool !! You don’t ever really get to see the car go through the gear like that on a dyno 🤯 that sounded AMAZING had to rewind and watch that part again 🙏🙏 for sharing these experiences with us keep up the amazing content and work and charity you do behind the scenes 🙏🙏🙏❤️
So badass!!!
The F40 has been a dream car since I was a kid, but this spec is just perfect.
I was lucky enough to have been in Italy when this car came out, and we could watch them testing the F40's at an Italian air force base. They would run down the taxi way next to the runway, racing trainer jets. Talk about amazing! It was dusk the 1st day there and you could see the flames shooting out on down shifts, etc.... was such an awesome experience to get to watch them do that.
Ron really is a cool down to earth guy. That’s awesome so nice to see
What an incredible sound. Driving this would be a dream m. We don’t have the craziest car scene here on Oahu, so I always go by the Ferrari Lamborghini dealer and see what they have. Love your channel and your humility. Keep going! But that’s nothing u already don’t know
The pull through the gears is insane, what a rocket!
This is top tier dude, so insane to see this car pull all four gears on a dyno.
Never heard or saw this man before in car space til last few videos ago I watched his video on recommended page and seeing this is truly a blessing and amazing video for this man to drive this car like every other normal car but yet knowing the value of it and wants the fans to see what others don’t show is amazing. God bless you sir
I don’t usually follow UA-camrs but you sir earned my follow ! Keep up the great content
Appreciate that bro!
Ran a Mustang dynojet chassis dyno in Virginia this was my holy grail. The owner had a enzo which is awesome but the F40 is just glorious. Thanks brother 🙏.
just discovered this channel, loving the videos and your personality. You can't not love watching these kinds of cars being enjoyed and allowing the world to enjoy them too. I salute you sir.
The disguise is reminiscent of Lance Armstrong in Tour de Pharmacy lol. Awesome channel.
The seals on the f40 headlights left the chat eh 😬😬
Yeah but remember the F40 is basically a kit car from Ferrari. It’s like a mad scientist pieced together all their cool parts. Nothing like modern cars.
@ yah true , the joys of older cars 😭👌🏻🫡
Ron you're the automotive owner G.O.A.T
Seems to drain out just fine. Love it.
Ron - love this car, and love that put it through its paces. Stay awesome.
Wow the sound! Obviously my dream car then the McClaren F1, so good to see it being used. I’m from England, a week or so ago a mechanic in a F40 crashed on a road close to my house it was caught on camera, he ditched it and rolled over. Absolutely devastating
Then the video came up when you was Dyno testing
Thank you for appreciating the brilliance of cars like the F40 and LFA. And actually driving them. My favorite cars in order F40, GT3 RS any year, E30 M3. 🍻🤙🏻
I could listen to this ALL DAY
It's been a rough month for F40's.
Lost my matchbox and hot wheels.. brutal
Loving the videos here in UK!! Keep bringing it 😌🥳
😎👍
More to come!
@@supercar_ron We all need to do what beard products you use to keep that beard so lavish and beautiful.
Ron living out our entire childhood dreams in one video
BRO LFG!!!! you are a mad man and I love it. adopt me ill keep the cars buffed and live in the garage :)
So frickin spicy Ron! BTW-did you notice the car was pissing quite a bit during the warmup?
Definitely running too rich, lean it out get more power
awesome video and made me feel great about my LS3 NA build "only" making 476 WHP
Thank you for driving them. Shawn at Autotopia LA would love to meet you.
Thanks ron for the cool content. Bring back the hostages
Anthropomorphizing cars is definitely weird. Btw, this is one of the reasons I'm glad the internet/UA-cam exists. Thank you sir
Man, this is got to be one of the best looking cars I have ever seen!! It’s right up there with the CESAR McLaren F1 GTR.
It's awesome that you actually drive your cars. I would love to see an F40 ripping down the road.
I can't believe the videos this guy those... I'm glad someone like him actually does something with his wealth
should pump some air into the intercooler vents
i think your bet should be
1. Glacier water like from the movie Waterboy with Adam Sandler that revived him at the end.
2. Movie Tickets
3. A meal at the pub
4. Introduction to a single girl (wing maning it or a friend)
5. Track Day run in a fast car. both as passanger first then getting to go out as driver.
Great video! Do you know that if you didn’t put oxygenated race fuel and didn’t increase timing to compensate for the slower burn of the race fuel, you probably lost horsepower adding that stuff. Just an FYI
10:11 I'm putting this as my nighttime white noise to help me fall asleep! So beautiful!
Hmm only 1 bank is shooting flames, i guess there was something wrong with either the mixture or the timing. Sick car and glad that its driven like it should be.
This is incredible content.
Love these vids. No one else is dynoing their F40 for fun lol
Good to see that car isn't a garage princess. This is what they are for, Driving !
Petition for Tace to start wearing a moustache to compliment Ron's beard :D
I too thought it would be in the 500hp. Is so lite that it is as fast as it feels.
I used to live close to a Ferrari dealership and service center. I remember one time they had an F40 parked outside, it was stripped down pretty good with no motor, no doors and interior etc. I was shocked at how badly built everything seemed, which makes sense now that I know they are a parts bin car and a race car that happened to have plates on it. Fit and finish wasn't really that important.
At the boost, I’m glad he said something Oh, you can tell when it’s it’s coming it’s a surprise every time the F40 made me hate Ferrari.
It wasn’t until Miami Vice. I think it’s a F550 I’m not sure not the truck .. I drove a silver one in Miami for a weekend the perfect car !!!
much respect for the sharing reflection
What a treat, thx Ron, legend.
fantastic video, 471 to the wheels but how much to the crank?
I feel like a 1989 or 1990 F40 is, adjusted for all things, the ultimate car. I know there are cars that are higher performance and worth a lot more, but the F40 is just it.
Almost bought one of those but decided to go with a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe instead
same. windows didn't open enough for me so got a prius.
1:38 doing the most 😂😂
I went to Steve Harris imports to see the first one of two imported into Utah. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I'm just wondering if the straps of the front Wheels is a good idea? Think there was no better option but are those forces here not bending some components or?
I thought the engine was also tuned to LM specs. Great vid, thanks!!
Love the video gotta have some kind of outro it just ends lol
See these are the pops and bangs i like, genuine not tuned to do so
F40 on the dyno looks like Arnold flexing his muscles when he s 80. There’s something authentic about it.
When our man Ron talks about losing a bunch of weight in 1 sentence and being addicted to Taco Bell the next! 😂
Lol. True
Incoming email from Ferrari: Sorry, but no sorry, we are not going to sell you any new car.
I think you should update the turbos. Modern ones are soo much better.
what boost ? is it still on the standard ECUs or an aftermarket update? some more tech info guys please.
Grats on the weight loss. Interesting that you put 100 octane in the car then talk about eating Taco Bell.
It is funny to me because my brother is a lineman and makes 200-300k per year and I tell him he is poor because he eats taco bell. While I live in a house I bought for $33k and only eat fatty steaks, ribs, eggs, bacon and potatoes, onions and mushrooms. The good stuff.
But seriously take care of your body, and keep focused on self improvement. I lost 100 pounds and live a great life knowing how to eat correctly now and staying in a healthy physical form. I would recommend learning intermittent fasting/ fasting. That way you do not have to worry about eating fast food ever again. I eat like a king, just 1 meal a day, 6 days a week. (I have been fasting for almost a decade it doesn’t start here)
And put a pull up bar in your garage and house, hang on it every time you walk past until you lose enough weight to jump up and hold. Then slowly extend down. Did my first pull up at 36 and now have done a couple thousand in a couple years, really is great doing so little and keeping such a good physical form after years of working out and being overweight.
Couple of tips from a different kind of rich guy. Cheers.
I was hoping to see if the has gauge worked after you filled it
I thought they only came in red? Dang! 470 I know sounds low, but it is a nice number for such a low curb weight car. That thing probably weighs 2800 lbs, giving it ridiculous power to weight ratio. I mean, I wouldn't try to street race one of those highly modified cars. But, still extremely capable car indeed.
Wish I could fit it in my pocket rocket!!! Long name but it’s good
Loving the new beard highlights 😂❤❤
By farthe best beard in the business.
I write from Italy: but what does the fan do in front of us? The engine is behind!
Ooooo Tace is that a Shimoda bag?
This is a fire video
That Ferrari is one of my dream cars to own!!!!
Beautiful!!!!
#FWIW my all motor '93 ZR-1 Corvette makes more power.
Wanna trade? 😂
What a cool boss. Hey I’m a car hauler I’d work for you haha
This is awesome would bet 95% of these cars never leave a garage.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tell me you’re new here without telling me…
great video, one thing with a modified engine is having a tuner take a look at the logs and see if the tune is good, check AFR and timing. Such a nice car you would hate to just assume the tune is good. I wouldn't mess with it or try to crank it up just confirm that the tune is 100% healthy for the longevity of the engine. Cheers and keep up the great content.
Next video: testing my 1 of 1 F40 off-road 😂 keep it up Ron love the content!
Respect & Stay Blessed 👌
In tbell drive thru line waiting on my food and watching lol
Butt dyno is probably off because of how violent and raw it is
That's not an ordinary f40 it's one that used to be used for racing that's also why the windows don't roll down and instead slide in. This f40 also has a higher power output.
All early f40s had slide windows It wasn’t until later in the production they got regular windows. And it is just a regular f40 that was modified to be like an LM but it’s just a regular f40.
@@xxsupermanxx567 agree they were known to put out a lot more on dynos that factory figures
Make sure to show the cease and desist when you get it🤣
Let's call it, "NO TRACTION TRACY!" LOL!
There is no air to the intercoolers not a good idea
How the torque curve look like?
I drove at F 40 back in the day and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to change the clutch😂😂😂 but my boss made me do it. Those things are worse than vipers.
It’s sounds incredible
That thing sounds amazing 🤩 🎶
Is it tuned ? Whats done to it ?
Come to CT and let me drive it 😂😂
Thats massive, racespec f40 should be over 600 hp
Tace with the Arcy hat. Sick f40 too
What were original F40's really putting down, though? Were they on point, or over/under rated?
Are the headlights from a bmw e30 sec gen?
So you got an LM?
i hope those old bimper plastics dint melt, that exhaust must be hot and no air to cool it
Im pretty sure the 100 octane gas is is causing the car to run a bit more power than a “regular” F40
Race gas might bump up the power too? It’s 93 normally?
Cut between cameras during a run Is the worst thing you can do. Kills the experience
Wooooo this is awesome!!!
