the thing is that the Enzo's bodywork is almost totally functional. The thing has levels of grip that are unheard of in a street car. It is basically an F1 car with a bit of extra bodywork, in fact you can pretty much see an F1 car trying to break out of it.

Having seen a couple of them at the Concorso Italiano, I'd sell my kidney if it was worth the price of admission for one of these cars.

For less than half the price I'd take that 700 HP Dauer Bugatti EB in carbon fiber. The Enzo couldn't keep up with it according to a recent EVO article.

The Enzo is unreal to see in person, my neighbor here in Atherton, CA has a red one and it stops traffic every time I see it on the streets. It belongs to a big wig at one of the areas top VC firms.

The sound alone will make you want one.

as ugly as i did? this one was even black which tones down the batmobile lines considerably and it still wasn't real nice looking.
It looked a bit low poly count to me. I saw a red one here in Palo Alto a month ago. Obviously an amazing machine etc...

My friend Cody has one up in Toronto.

Its red, its scary looking and I couldn't believe it when i saw it. My mouth dropped. Its stunning in real life, if you can call it that. Its so different looking that its like, hard to put words to it.

He wouldn't let me drive it (good idea, because he knows how I'd drive it) but he took me for a spin. Its insane.

It sounds INCREDIBLE. No car or ferrari has the same sound, nothing can touch it (except maybe a Zonda).


I dont think I could ever spend a mill on a car though.

The Zonda can't touch it. I'm pretty sure the Zonda's 1/4 mile traps are in the mid 120's on a good day vs. 136 MPH for the Enzo. The new Dauer carbon fiber reissue of the Bugatti EB model can beat it pretty well according to Evo Magazine. McLaren F1s have nearly the exact same pace. Modded Vipers and some single turbo Supras can walk an Enzo but nothing on 4 wheels in stock form that could beat one would likely ever pull up next to an Enzo driver.

I know the Zonda cant touch it speed wise, but the zonda sounds amazing.

Dabum,

When I'm back in T.O, any chance we could meet up with your friend and his Enzo as well ?

That would be pretty awesome to see....

He's sending it to LA for the winter in a week, its already getting rainy and -2 at night here.

You might know the family though, they own Canada Homes.

Not only do they have an Enzo, but a 550 Barchetta aswell

Next summer I can definatly get you a look at it though.
