yeah, if you guys saw what is to the right of those cars, you would really drool. He has hydraulic lifts for his other cars...Ferrari F40, F430 Scuderia, Gallardo superlaggera, diablo, aston martin, 911 turbo and 360 modena.

he does have a nice life, but he worked hard and make it all happen himself. But I would cut both nuts off to be him:-)

What's that boring red thing on the left?
I'm an avid Carrera GT fan ever since my sons (probably 8 and 10 at the time) bought me a steel model of the not-yet-released car for my birthday. Not necessarily wild about mod'ing them with turbo power or anything for that matter but he earned it and everyone's taste is different. I still think it's the greatest supercar ever made.

I am a huge fan of both the CGT and the Enzo.
Our company recently had occasion to measure some original equipment Enzo wheels for a European Tuner customer.
Part of the evaluation process involved getting the weights of the stock Enzo wheels. Our collective jaws dropped when we found the 19x9 front centerlock wheel weighs 27.3 lbs and the 19x13 rear weighs 32.1 lbs. The wheels are cast aluminum, made in Germany by a famous manufacturer.
We were shocked that a car that costs nearly a million dollars would have such heavy cast wheels.
In stark contrast are the magnificent forged magnesium wheels found on the CGT. I don't have the weights, but would estimate at least 25 and maybe 30 lbs less total unsprung weight than the Enzo.
We are seriously considering making a few sets of forged wheels for the Enzo, simply because of the amazing performance difference it will make in the car.

Those cars go for more than that now, unfortunately. He actually has the last one made...#399. Technically, a 400th was made but auctioned off and never made available to the public.

Small target audience to design something for the enzo as there aren't even 399 left now after a few people have smashed them. Good luck to you though and let me know if I can ever be of any use to you. Thx.

I know this is sometimes an unclassy question to ask, especially on a board where most people are "of means" but what manner of business is your brother in law in? I mean there are some wealthy people here, but he's obviously super mega obscenely rich, and those self made persons are always fascinating to me...
