There were what? 400 of these things made?

How many of them have been totalled so far?

This model must have one of the highest percentages of total losses...

Car and Driver did a story about the Enzo, for which they borrowed an Enzo from an owner out of Utah. The guy seemed like a nice guy and generous. There is a picture of him in the C&D article.

I hope this wasn't his car. Then again it sucks for any body else...the owner.

It is his car. His neighbor "bigs"--a 928 owner from Rennlist posted about it over there in OT.

looking here, it seems like more than five Enzo's have been totaled as this one and Eriksson's are not shown.

Their mothers should take these boys out and spank them for driving so recklessly.



And take their cars away from them and give them to someone who can properly appreciate them, me.

I bet some of the ricer kids and boys who wish they owned 911's would say the same about us "mis-using" our 911's at the track. How often do we see good looking well prepped 911's get banged up at the track? For shame! Some idiot took Black Beauty I AND (!) Black Beauty II to the track and had accidents in both of them! ( )

From the news item:

"For the final day, drivers raced down a closed section of highway to see how fast their cars could really go."

Guess he now has an idea how fast it will stop too.

I was at least glad to see this was not done on an open road...

The key word in this post is track.

Jim,

The Enzo was on a closed road course.

From the news article" "For the final day, drivers raced down a closed section of highway to see how fast their cars could really go. That's when one of them crashed. "
