ENZO
ENzo--- one of the most technically advanced cars ferrari has produced and one of hte fastest around a track
too bad not many people could drive to talk aboout it...
so therefore many of the ppl that bitch about it are mostly wrong...cos theyve never driven it .. and they cant afford it...
comment...

agree wif u on tht...Enzo is pretty limited...349 units ...the closest u'll ever get is to the TV screen or monitor in front of u....so its not right for ppl to bitch about it when they've never even seen it on the road close up or let alone get inside one...

Well TT it's understandable why darthgoox would think 349. Tiff in his review said 349 would be produced. Maybe Ferrari upped their production numbers after that review. I checked www.ferrari.it and it said 399. There's always confusion when u hear different things from different sources.

It was 349 for a couple of month, but they soon discovered they needed to produce 50 more... and since then, the 349 was forgotten

if i recall, its because of the history with the F40, where production was supposed to be about as limited, i dont recall the orignial numbers, but ferrari went back on that when they discovered they had a lot more demand for the supercar, and ended up producing over 1000 units. this fustrated the orgininal owners.
the next major supercar was the mclaren F1, and again my memory is hazy, but i believe they set out to produce 350 examples. shortly after mclaren anounced this, the F50 was set to be slightly more limited at 349 cars. this number seemed to work well enough that ferrari figured it would be the same for their following supercar, the enzo. im not sure entirely whey they changed the number, but it might include higher demand for a vehicle that is about as exclusive as a mclaren, but also (finally) faster then it in a straight,as well as in a circuit. or mabey as simple as at the time, there were no comparable super exotics to compete like the porsche carrera gt?

who cares how many they make, if you want anything bad enough, you can get it, although thats not the car for me(apparently i have something against supercars), if you want one, all you have to do is reach for the sky...
