jim, i tried searching the thread for this question, but couldn't find it, and i apologize if it is a repost. do you consider yourself an enzo owner, or in another class?
Safari? That's almost as bad as Internet Exploder. Just do yourself worlds of good and get on Firefox! On another note, related to the question above. Is the VIN considered to be a Ferrari Enzo, or does the government recognize the P4/5 as "Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina"? Peter Hatch
The VIN, technically, is still an Enzo VIN. How the government/DMV sees it and how they regard it could be two completely different things. The VIN itself, however, was not changed when the car was rebodied.
I do not believe the owner of ******* to be a member of this board, no. On another note, I finally saw an Enzo in person. Though amazing, it still has no comparison to the P4/5. The Enzo looks as though it was much more cramped inside and so forth. Your interpretation is much, much better than that of what Ferrari wanted the Enzo to be in my opinion. Enjoy her Jim! Peter Hatch
Couldn't agree more, the P4/5 when i saw it at the Americana Concours De' Elegance made the Enzo look PALE in comparison lol.. Jim looking forward to meeting you when it gets warmer and also meeting/riding with the crew
a lil off topic but i found a great site to find pics of classic races, including Jim's 0846 and 0854(i think) http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/Brands_Hatch-1967-07-30-photo.html and all the races here http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo.html
I don't believe it has been asked before, but after reading the FCA Garage Queen thread, I wonder... did you get your first paint chip yet? And did you laugh it off? I'm quite sure it will go through a few touch ups or resprays on the front end over the life of the car, but a small chip or two is bound to happen.
I remember driving through a rally with a fellow and his Superamerica last fall. After parking, we walked around the car to find several little pebble chips behind the front tire well and on the lip at the nose. A few choice words were said. Though I know he paid nowhere near what “Big Daddy” did. Chips happen. Just a fact of the road, but I would LOVE to see some hi-res of any little blemishes! It would be a homey alternative to the waxy gloss so common. Lets see her dirty Jim! Brake dust and all! Best Jon
PREMAIR® OZONE-EATING TECHNOLOGY FEATURED ON HIGH-END FERRARI SUPERCAR PremAir catalyst now on more than 3 million vehicles worldwide ISELIN, NJ, February 22, 2007 BASF Catalysts PremAir® smog-reducing technology is now featured on a new, custom-built supercar, the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, a unique automobile based on a chassis of a 2003 Ferrari Enzo. This is PremAirs first application on an exotic performance vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 233 mph. The P4/5 was designed, engineered and built entirely by Pininfarina, a leading design company within the automotive industry who has collaborated with Ferrari since 1952. BASF Catalysts' PremAir technology is the first commercial product that destroys harmful, ground-level ozone already in the air. When applied to heat-exchange surfaces, such as car radiators, PremAir effectively turns them into "smog eaters." The catalyst reduces ozone in the air that passes over coated surfaces by converting ozone molecules into oxygen molecules instantly upon contact. PremAir destroys up to 80% of harmful, ground-level ozone in the air that passes across it. Ground-level ozone is the main component of smog and is directly linked to respiratory problems and damage to vegetation. Were excited to be involved with the development of the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, one of Italys most exciting new high-performance cars, said Erik Nielsen, Product Development Engineering Manager, Environmental Technologies. We are pleased that Pininfarina choose to incorporate a clean-air technology as unique as the vehicle itself. Since its launch, more than 3 million PremAir-equipped cars have been sold in the US, Europe and Asia. BASF Catalysts breakthrough PremAir ozone-destruction catalysts are also featured on most Volvo cars, and on certain BMW, Mercedes and Hyundai models.
