However, for an Enzo, you can get THREE, yes, THREE CGT's. That says a LOT. CGT sounds like $hit from the inside but sounds great outside. Whereas the Enzo sounds fantastic EVERYWHERE! There is a limit to you guys' pathetic comparisons. It's a PORSCHE. That's it! nothing more, nothing less. An ENZO>>CGT. Period!
Dude, that's a pretty silly post. They are both amazing cars, and can definitely be compared. The Enzo has a lot of great technology, but I'd personally take a 6-speed over flappy paddles anyday. Plus, take the roof off the CGT and you get some pretty nice sounds...

You can get two F40's for the cost of an Enzo, is the F40 a POS in your mind?

AJ996TT and Dario-You guys are making me homesick! Richardson and Plano!
I remember when the Buckingham mall was the only place for us kids to go and we had to go (still do?) to Plano for beer!!! I graduated from Garland a Jillion years ago and ended up out here going to Cal State Chico. Still out here.

Mom, sis and bro live in Sacshe not too far from Firewheel. I have played golf there. Dallas has become too big for me-believe it or not I live in a tiny
town in Cali 80 miles from the nearest town with 50K+ people- yet
150 from LA, 230 from Vegas and 6 hours from San Fran. So far yet so close.
we will drive 1.5 hours to go to costco.

Wow- This thread went a little sideways. Did anyone forget that Dario wanted advice on 4-5 cars. I am hoping he made his decision early on in the thread prior to the craziness late. It appears a lot of guys make assumptions on cars from what Road and Track says instead of what their foot says while driving them. I applaud the guys who can actually make a statement on driving these cars. I have driven all of these cars hard and tracked many (except the Enzo) and would say that Dario you would Love the CGT.
As far as one post that read "Porsche is to broke" to compete in F1 I would really like that person to check out Porsches financial statement. Porsche is the Leader in the world Profit wise and probably assume they are focused on Market share more than F1. Ferrari has a GREAT product and their lack of production has done a good job keeping prices thru the roof. Porsche on the other hand is producing many models and producing tons of them. Porsche is truly the Mass producer of the Best sportscars in the world and this is why their prices drop more quickly. They are constantly changing models and adding new additions to Porsche Dealerships every where. Pricing on
CGT's over Enzos are simple 5-6 times as many CGT's were produced and of those 85% of the CGT's are actually getting driven. I would say that it is the exact flip and only 15% of the sub 400 units of the Enzo are actually getting miles put on them. Most Ferrari owners do just that, own them and don't drive them. It's a damn shame that we don't see more on the road but Enzo will be the Fine Art portion of the Supercars and hold their value for this reason. They sit in garages and look gorgous.
Drivers agree with me please. If you buy it. Drive the f#$k out of it and than when you get tired of it please sell it to someone else who will do the same. All of these cars are awesome and deserve to be driven hard.

It's too bad on the LP640. I hope he doesn't have many problems like some of my friends. I think he'll have to get a membership at LA Fitness so he can control it. Lots of muscles needed to keep that car going.
No I haven't posted any pics of any of my cars. I think it was the most brilliant computer thing I have ever done to figure out how to get a picture in my signature. Taking a picture of one of my cars and than figuring out how to get it on any thread would be past my abilities.

That's to bad. Hopefully it's nothing serious on the Lambo side. Even if it's not it really is a pain in the butt to deal with problems of any kind. Good luck with the Murci.
