Minimal Porsche content - but if you like incredible cars ...... !

At the Ferrari/www.Profromaceraceschool.com track day Wednesday - ran on the track ALL DAY - put on about 150 miles. What a sweet car.

The price makes my wallet hurt.

(In person, it looks much better. It's an absolutely beautiful piece of machinery. Wow.)

y'know, I just saw a 360 Challenge Stradale in person and it's a pretty darn cool car too. More minimal than a GT3.

this car reminds me of pam anderson.....the proportions are exagerated beyond what is necessary, its something you would take for a ride real fast and not tell your girlfriend about, people like taking and looking at colorful glossy photos of it, and most of all, almost NONE of us will EVER have it!

Why are the bolt in frame stiffeners over the engine heim jointed? There's no need for adjustment there, is there? Don't tell me that they couldn't make them to a precise enough fit to get by without adjustable ends.

Regards,

Jerry Kroeger

Unless you have seen one of these in person, withold your judgement. The Enzo is absolutely the most spectacular new car I have ever seen. The Carrera GT doesn't even come close!

Spectacular .... I agree.
Good looking ...... not a chance.

Too many holes and ugly gaps all over it.
Too fussy, like many modern sports cars.... (Lotus Elise/Exige etc..).

To me it's like one of those Mega Super Bass Graphic Equalizer Hi Fi's with all the flashing lights and big bass holes gaping out of the speakers. Over the top in other words.

I much prefer the smooth/sexy lines (with a hint of aggression and menace) of a CGT or Aston Martin DB9. It's all in the eye of the beholder though.

Scott,

I have to agree. In person, the Enzo is breath taking. I saw my first CGT in the flesh (er... carbon) last weekend and cool as it was, I was surprised that it really didn't make my heart go pitter-pat.

I've seen it in person Mike. I will agree that the 'mechanicals' are beautiful, ...gorgeous even. But, the 'clothes' it's wearing are not sleek, not handsome, not harmonious. And, I feel Enzo himself would have never OK'd some of the styling elements, especially the deSoto -like tail lights!

I agree, without clothes she's breathtaking.... but for me, there will never be an equal:
