    LOL...! No need... It's Stanley Cohen's Enzo, S/N 131241... The Enzo being yellow and Speedracer being from CT, the choices were narrowed down... But the license plate was just a dead giveaway... :)

    Well the expieriance was quite something. The owner of the cars invited me to the meeting and invited my dad and i to ride there with him and his son-in-law. On the way to the meeting my dad got to ride in the Enzo while i rode in the 360 CS with Mr. Cohen. We took the back roads to the meeting but the looks on peoples faces was quite something. We were once going through an intersection when i saw 2 kids around my age (15) throwing there arms in the air going nuts. So we arrive to the meeting first so we were standing around talking. There was supposed to be a dinner but more and more Ferraris kept pulling in. Everyone was enjoying themselves outside getting a chance to look at all the Ferraris and talking with other owners. After awhile everyone got together and Stanley Cohen (the owner) started thanking everyone for coming out. (The meeting was at the American Legion for the members there.) He started telling them about the event coming up on June 19th called the Hartford Concorso. The event raises money for the Childrens Hospital here in Connecticut. They have about 40-50 Ferraris on a police escorted drive to the hospital to pick up kids and get a police escorted drive around the city then back to the show. There are about 80-90 Ferraris at the show. Anyways he was telling them its a great event for families and kids. After he was done there were a few other Ferrari owners talking about expieriences with past events and how kids are in awe when they see their cars. After that was done the owner of the Ferrari F40 decided to show everyone his engine then started revving the engine :) So now Mr. Cohen wanted to leave so he asks if i wanted to go with him in the 360 CS or his son-in-law in the Enzo. Of course ive been dreaming about getting a ride in an Enzo for years so i chose that. His son-in-law didnt want to take the back roads so we jump on the highway going about 80-90 when we get a nice clear straight.....he drops down to fourth gear and guns it! The feeling was absolutely amazing and your just planted into the back of your seat. I did have my camcorder with me and recorded the whole ride and on that one blast we hit around 150 MPH!! During that we had the 360 CS behind us doing around 125 MPH. We got back to his garage and he gets out telling my dad he can pull in the car. This was my dads fisrt time in the driver seat of a Ferrari so Mr. Cohen explained how the F1 paddles work. After that we went home having the biggest smiles ever. Stanley Cohen is an extremely generous individual and has the biggest heart ever. He is always helping others and dedicates hours out of his time to do things like this. After knowing him for about 3 years I look up to him because someday i wish to achieve some of the things he has. I hope everyone enjoyed reading this expierience i had with a Ferrari Enzo. There will be video coming shortly!!

    Just curious, what is a "Repair" plate? In the pictures the black 360 had a repair plate.

    i would assume the man in question is unlisted, but there are five Stanley Cohens listed in Connecticut... There are so many Stanley Cohens in the country, you can't even get an approximate return on your search... Searching the state of CT for lawyers and using the name 'Cohen' somewhere in the name of the company, i was greeted with these results... (i replaced the word 'lawyer' with the word 'attorney' and yielded the same results)...


    ...but my interests don't lie beyond his Ferraris and the apparent passion he has for them.

    The license plate on the CS, FMULA-1, would read better as 4MULA-1. Guess it wasn't available.

    I didn't bump up the thread, 'MSCemma' did last night and I replied to his post. His post was deleted so now it looks as if I just made some random comment in a thread that ended 3 years ago
