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

you could take your enzo, sell it, and buy a ZR1 in every color

THAT is why I don't like them. Sooo many people can never get over the idea that since its a Ferrari it is supposed to be the best sports car you can buy. But they aren't. 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.

That and servicing a ferrari will break most average joes bank accounts. And thats just a oil change and a tune up. Totally ridiculous.

Well, give credit to the marketing types for Ferrari for making their name synonymous with luxury, and style.

Even if Chevy is better in every category, as a company, people just see it as an every-mans car, which is what Chevy wants I'm sure.

I like the thought of having an "every-mans car" that will beat every other man's car.

That's one problem I have with people. Everyone thinks that a fast car means it has to be red, or Italian, and that's not the case. I LOVE Ferrari, and especially Ferrari racing, but some people need to quit freaking out over Ferrari & Lamborghini for that matter.

You know how people would buy a Camaro over a Mustang because of a specific heritage?


Same thing.

i honestly am not that thrilled with the sound of the enzo, it sounds like theres a bunch of air just rushing through

id rather take a old school cammed big block, or a moden V8 with a Kenne Bell
