haha, that's what the bitch gets for making a shitty movie with even more shitty actors. it sucks that another enzo is gone though. the producer, sadek, wrecked a carrera gt for the movie. karma is a bitch.
the value of an enzo continues to appreciate everyday. has another supercar ever been totaled on such a regular bases as the enzo? one is totaled like every month. 3/27/2007 10:29:12 AM |

how come only 400 of these were ever produced? 3/27/2007 10:37:44 AM |

^^It does seem like more Enzo's have been wrecked recently than any other supercar. Most of the other accidents occured on public roads at speeds in excess of 150mph though. This was simple the fault of a shitty driver. What's amazing though is that (to my knowledge) no one has been killed and few have been seriously injured. I guess that's a testiment to the strength of Carbon Fiber.
^exclusivity

^^more like to the genius engineers. And I think Ferrari said that even though only 400 were only made, I think they said that they can rebuild a wrecked one from scratch to a customer's request. I remember someone saying that on here a while back.

Anyone know a total count on how many have been badly wrecked out of 400? It seems like there's been around 10 already. 3/27/2007 12:10:36 PM |

^^^ I'm not sure I agree with that summary, either. Understeer happens, even to very experienced drivers. What makes you think that cold tires had an effect?

they are designed to rip apart. separate the engine from the body to reduce risk to the cabin/passengers. 3/27/2007 9:18:23 PM |

This Ferrari is 10 times easier to crash:
Ferrari F430 as GranTurismo Boat
Quote : | "71 year old, ex F1 champion Eugenio Molinari set his 71st record yesterday morning on Lake Como in Italy. How, you may ask? Well, he navigated a Ferrari F430 powered Grantourismo boat to a new world record averaging a speed of 123,288 km/h (Endurance Group B class S1). The boat and engine are derived from serial production although the V8 (490 bhp at 8500 rpm) had to be slightly modified for its off shore ventures (further explained in the attached press release).
Mr Molinari dedicated his 71st record to Luca di Montezemolo, the fearless Ferrari leader. His way to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Prancing Pony. " |

Bellisimo Ferrari F430 Scuderia Revealed
Quote : | "The new Ferrari F430 Scuderia has been revealed and the man who gets to unveil it is F1 Champ Michael Schumacher.
The new Ferrari F430 Scuderia is the new name for the Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale and it boasts 510 horsepower with a low power to weight ratio of 2.45 kg per horsepower with a low dry weight of 1250 kg -this new lightweight Ferrari F430 slightly under-weighs the F430 by 100 kg to be exact.
Shifting gears for Schumacher will be even more enjoyable when he pilots this new exclusive Ferrari as it will take advantage of Ferrari's latest F1 software-which will reduce gear change times to 60 milliseconds. Tread performance is also increased within the new F430 Scuderia via the combination of an E-diff electronic differential and the F1 traction and stability control integrated system.
Look for the Ferrari F430 Scuderia and Mr. Schumacher to unveil the new Ferrari at the Frankfurt Auto Show this 2007. " |
I bet this can outperform the ENZO!!!
And it is GORGEOUS!
