    This is going to seem like i'm arguing, but i'm really not... i'm just really biased towards the Enzo and can't help reiterating my side of the discussion... :)
    The Enzo is leaps and bounds ahead of the F50... The F50 had some F1 technology from back in its time - ten years ago...!

    The 288 GTO was actually the first Ferrari super car, but the F40 holds so much weight, in my opinion, because, for one, it's such a raw car - there is nothing like it, even to this day, and two, it was the last Ferrari made before Enzo passed away...

    The Enzo was the gateway for the MC 12 and the FXX - these cars wouldn't exist without the Enzo platform... It doesn't seem like there will be any street legal Ferrari super cars any time soon...

    The way the sports car market is these days, maybe it doesn't look like the Enzo broke any significant new ground - especially when a Carrera GT - with very similar performance stats - can be had for a fraction of the cost of an Enzo - but Ferrari continues to set sports car standards - this has been true throughout history... Ferrari makes something, charges an arm and a leg for it, and other car companies aspire to make something with similar performance characteristics, charge less for it - and Ferrari STILL comes out on top... Ferrari is the pinnacle of sports cars and motor sports racing (F1 at least) and they always will be... This little, seemingly bankrupt company continues to remain at the top of the sports car food chain and has done so, over time... If it wasn't for Ferrari, i don't think other sports car companies would have vied so hard to be where they are now, and so, yes, in that regard, i DO think Ferrari has broken significant ground with the Enzo - and with just about every other car they've put on the road...

    Enzo #400 is my choice. It was created for a charity auction benefitting hurricane Katrina's victims.

    Thankyou for posting which Enzo that one was! Would you possibly have a link to that article, or his collection of cars?

    NNO, no problem glad to clarify.

    Why do you think I'm doing this? I'd much rather argue about cars than all this other crap.

    Thus, I'll go on record and say that the F40 was the first supercar. The 288 GTO was actually Ferrari's last racing sports car. It just never raced.

    The F40-F50-Enzo and whatever the F60 will be called were all meant ti be street cars.

    To me, the most remarkable aspect of the Enzo in the evolution of Ferrari supercars is its Japanese inspired body. Notice that I said remarkable, not that I like it. I still think that neither the Enzo or the F50 body style holds a candle to the F40. The F40 just looks mean and nasty, like a supercar should.

    Any way, back to work.

    Richard Berry has 18 Lambo's, an Enzo and is most famous for buying all four Callaway's at Barrett Jackson one or two years ago.

    950,000 Euros according to post 46 in this thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135401102&postcount=46 , if so pretty good.

    Zonda16 that is definately the guy I am talking about. I remember the article saying one of his Lambo's broke into the mid 2's for 0-60 times. Any articles or links to any of his car specs?

    Found this on a search of the forums for Richard Berry. http://www.dupontregistry.com/Celebritycar/spring04/clSpg04-RichardBerry.asp?sessionkey={DFD01447-1B0A-4A64-900C-F6F54DBA03FE}

    Tried Berry earlier but no luck, until someone mentioned Richard Berry. 900bhp Lambo. WOW. Wonder if it is a Yellow one Ive seen in a magazine before titled the "Super Diablo". Found pictures of the only SV Twin Turbo Diablo in the world. The yellow convertible next to it is the Super Diablo, from a pic I believe I saw in Dupont Registry. http://www.fast-autos.net/spotlight/svtt/dealer.html

    Ahhh yes, that's the article I read. I knew the name was sounding familiar! A great read indeed.

    A serious collection! This guy has gone all out. And yes, a big Vette guy too.

    you need a life.
    coming on this forum and thread and being dumb and then getting mad after i make something a little more noticable to you. just knock it off and let this thread be about famous Enzos not about this gay little quarrel. if you want to take any more jabs or whatever, please feel free to send them to my PM or email and not drive this thread any more off course than its already gone. thanks

    ill explain this one more time. you asked the question, i answered, you asked again, i answered again, second time i answered in caps. then you got mad. dumb?

    thanks very much tho, i dont need to dream of Ferraris. my father owns one and he owns 2 Lamborghinis and a Bentley. sorry to burst your bubble.

    again, if you want to take any jabs or defend yourself in any way, i would be more than happy to answer via email or PM, im upset ive participated in the hijack of this thread and my part stops here. you should do the same.
