it's redline is 18,000 rpms and makes 800 hp at 17,500 (and 250 lb/ft at 15,500). just a tidbit about downforce- when the ferrari releases the throttle at 180 mph, it begins to decelerate at 1.1Gs. thats the same as a corvette c5 in full ABS. AND THATS JUST RELEASING THE THROTTLE.
YOUR CORRECT ITS CALLED DOWNFORCE! Jesus , who cares? I knew that but didn't have the word in my head at the moment.Would you not agree that there is suction there? Its neg pressure holding the car down.....
And with that force IT WOULD ride on a cieling, road that was paved for upside usage ETC...
Lets not be sooo ooooh informative
