Hi,

best exhaust for F50 is stock. With full Tubi you will lost a lot of torque in the mid range. And at high revs, the stock exhaust is louder. We compared two cars, one stock and the other with full Tubi.

Stock car was faster than the F50 with Tubi. After that, the owner of the Tubi F50 changed back to stock exhaust. The second comparinson showed, that it is now as fast as the other F50.

Thanks,

what do you want to hear?

We testet on the German Autobahn at nearly every imaginable circumstances. Maybe it´s the yellow color, which made the F50 with Tubi slower...


No, jokes aside: I raced it out in a Corvette Z 06 in wrong gear and uphill. The driver of the Tubi F50 was pissed off a bit.

After changing back to stock, everything was right again. Faster than the Corvette and as fast as a stock F50.

I Assume you are german then? Could you tell me a little about the different comparison test procedures you choose? Also, was the yellow f50 owner from near goettingen? Thanks.

0.
Not surprised, common knowledge that red Ferraris are faster than yellow ones.

Yes I´m german.

Autobahn - same speed - same Gear - full throttle... side by side.
Many trys with different beginning speeds. Both full fuel cells (you protect your fuel cell, aren´t you?) and one driver. No luggage. Both in Barchetta spec.

Corvette was out of the moment with signal from F50 driver.

We always accelerated on signal from one driver. Also changed at same beginnig speed.


More, you want to know?

both F50 are near Göttingen btw
