Can they make the rear any more hideous?



Performance-wise it sounds incredible. Would be nice if the article posted some stats such as acceleration times, top speed, etc. though.

It's missing some V-TEC stickers on the side to balance out those big white stripes on top.

Performance wise, I'm going to guess it'll out drag those 1000rwhp MKIV, since 6 spd MKIV suk at launching, and top speed approaching the MClaren F1.

It's design for the track, so it can look anyway it wants. Even billionaire folks who are buying these don't seem to have any problem with it's look.

i'd seriously just take the regular Enzo,


but i wasn't in the 399 club.



Ferrari made it so you could only buy the F60 if you were "worthy..."

does anyone know who owns a F60?

Nick Mason from Pink Floyd HAD one---he "donated" it to the BBC...


who else has an Enzo?

there was a guy i knew of in greensboro, i didnt know him directly. but my boss was friends with him

the guy was really old, had collected expensive porsches, including a 917....

he sold some of his porsches to get the enzo.... ended up getting a yellow one

let car and driver test it since ferrari wouldnt give them one to test. so the article was done in greensboro, whoever read that

he's old guy, lets kids sit in his cars and run their fingers over them

said he would have killed for a chance to sit in an enzo(well something similar) back when he was a kid, so he lets local kids do it now

haven't talked to my old boss/my dad's friend in a long time, so i dont know if he ever got to ride in it like he was telling me he was going to

thats not really that much, especially considering that the Honda S2000 has a hp/liter ratio of 110hp/Liter.

240hp out of a 2.2L

Some people say that don't matter. Only Honda guys think it mattered.

tell me another car that makes that much per liter

im not talking about audi rs4 making 100/liter, or m5 making 100/liter, or rs6 making 100/liter, or lotus elise(toyota motor) making 190hp/1.8L... or s2000

i dont know any that make 130/liter.... that's a big jump, even from s2000

6.2L making 800hp.... naturally aspirated....
