    Oh come on, thats no fair. They never gave me free tires and if I parked my car there they would tell me to move it to a proper parking place. :( lol

    But let me know if you are going to the event. It would be near laguna seca correct?

    We didn't see anything in the owner's manual about that, so we put it away just in case.

    Nice!

    I forgot to vote on #2. I'm not quite sure b/c I'm not really up-to-date with the market and trends and all that jazz, but I'd say the 288 because of the rarity and it being the first with a lot of Enzo's influence I guess. Probably wrong though

    Hey Genie!, where's the F40 LM, the F50 GT?, the FXX evo?, the P4/5?. Get outta here and come back with a full slection!.

    Oh well, if that's all you've got! (some genie!)

    1) Enzo (so long as someone else pays for the clutches!)
    2) 288 GTO (one day people will realise it's a true classic, the last of it's generation)

    Fantastic photos, but visual greatness is only half the story, wait until you hear the Enzo.
    Here, Bill interrupts lunch at Bella Italia by starting the Enzo up and when warm, he rev's it to 8,000 RPMs. The crowd literally abandoned their lunch and flocked to the Enzo when they heard the glorious sound.

    The question refers to the standard cars - which do you choose then? Not so simple...

    Nice find! I forgot someone took video of that. But the small microphone in the camera doesn't really reproduce the experience.

    I remember a time when a bunch of young guys in the desert with cell phones asked me to rev the Enzo at a gas station so they could take video. They were right near the back of the car. I asked them to step back a little so the hair wouldn't burn off their legs when I rev the engine (which has happened before!). They were like "Sure, sure". When I reved it to 8,000 rpm, they all jumped back in absolute surprise (and fright I might add). None of them got the video! I had to rev it again where they all felt safer standing together on the island next to the gas pump.

    Now picture that experience with the Enzo flying by at 8,000 rpm at 150 mph+.

    Here is a nice video of Manuma (he's an Italian Fchatter) "provoking" his Enzo to oversteer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK5R8jnuLZ0

    I don't think that the passenger in that video would describe the Enzo as being "tame" or "overly civilized" ;)

    Great video! That's pretty much the deal. I love when he bounces off the rev limiter while drifting at the end. Outstanding!

    BTW, did the other cars have an accelerator pedal?

    Q 1) F50 ( I think it is currently undervalued, in europe at least)

    Q2 ) 288 GTO for this reason below

    The first-of-a-series 288 GTO built and so-named by Enzo Ferrari himself in homage to his original masterpiece will always be the first, the rarest, and the most beautiful, and I think in 20 years time it will be the most valuable. By far.

    that is actually a great question and suprising I am puzzled and not sure what one I would take....

    288 most rare
    F40 I have heard 355 can be comparable in performance...
    F50 most rare unless 288 is
    Enzo....idk...

    tough question.....I have always loved the F40 the most out of them...

    who the hell said 355 is even on the same planet performance-wise as an F40? I have had both and that is ridiculous. The real comparison would be more like 430 Scud (which actually is probably a bit faster and certainly easier to drive).

    Anyway I'd take the Enzo, sell it, get an F40 and pocket the difference.
