plus the ferrari makes the most beautiful noise in the world. nothing can come close to the sound of a italian v12. belive me if u hear one in person if will completly change ur life

So basicaly your saying because the Enzo is slower, less comfortable, less drivable day to day, less fuel efficent, less reliable and cost 10-15 times more than a ZR-1 that makes it better??? Man Whats your definition of Inferior??

Its a name, a brand, an image. There is no way that a Chevy or Dodge that cost 1/10 as much as the best Ferrari they ever sold should ever be in the same performance category. But they are. And there hasn't been any super breakthrough that has allowed these two cars to do it either.

I have a similar dislike for the people who drool over the fact that it has a 48 Valve 6.0L DOHC V12 with a 8200 rpm redline and on and on. Never mind the fact that a 6.2L V8 with a supercharger makes the same power, much more torque, costs less, gets better fuel economy, and will last longer. No, because its an anchient chevy pushrod so its garbage

I am never impressed by technology on its own. I am impressed with results. If new technology doesn't deliver those results, whats the point? To say that you have the fanciest toy around? Congrats, but I want the toy thats the most fun.

As far as sound, I'll take an idling old school big block over a V12 at redline any day.

A Ferrari is a Ferrari. A Chevy is a Chevy. Period.


I would not only take a Enzo because its a Ferrari but because of the way it looks. Sure the ZR1 may dynamically match the (4-year old) Enzo but the Enzo looks amazing. I had the opportunity to see one in person at the Gumball and it took my breath away. Theres something about its 'stance' that no other supercar has. Btw if Ferrari comes out with the rumored "F70", there should only be discussions like this on a Lamborghini forum.

IN your opinion...many people will disagree....and say the zr1 looks amazing and better. if they make the f70 we will still talk about it here.

Well I guess it all depends if you are talking about one of those "pedestrian bourgeois dime-a-dozen they even let Eddie Griffin drive and total one" or if you are talking about an FXX. I think I'd prefer an FXX, but Muffy and I are too tired from a late night of bridge on the yacht to worry about it.

I think he ment that the F70 will blow the ZR1 out of the Water so we will have nothing to talk about concerning a fair comparison.



... And im sorry for looking like an Ass if you already knew that.

yes thats exactly what im saying

im willing to put money that a enzo will turn more heads coming down the street than the corvette ever will. the design of th enzo is flawless. the zr1 is a c6 vette with carbon fibre body parts and a hole in the roof to show off its plastic engine cover.

u guys can agrue till ur blue in the face but the corvette will never have the same road apperance as that of a ferrari.

Unfortunately it's the big wing that helped the ACR narrowly beat the ZR1 on the Nurburgring.

Don't forget that you can't buy an enzo even if you had enough money, you need to show that you have a stable full of other collectable Ferraris plus are a far above average driver with racing skills. You actually had to apply to be able to buy one.

PS the Camaro turns more heads than any of the above. So what do you have to say about that. Go to an auto show see which car gets the most gawkers.

Because Lamborghini has such a glorious racing heritage (sarcasm if you can't tell) In the GT1 class how exactly does Ferrari do are they an also ran? It is really only a race between the HEAVILY handicapped Corvette and the and the Aston Marton DBR the Ferraris are there about 5 laps back or so.
