    Just purchased an Enzo! Having a 430 Spyder as well I noticed the new shifting technology is far superior to that of the Enzo. I wonder other than than putting the car in Race(which helps a little ,certainly not up to the 430) does anyone know of a modification to the transmission for speedier shifts?

    I'd like to see some pics as well. Congratulations on the amazing purchase!

    As far as quicker shifts are concerned, you could see if you could get an FXX gearbox/linkage installed. It'd be pricey and you'd have to special-order it from Ferrari. But the Enzo is 150 m/s and the FXX is 80 m/s, so it's quite an improvement.

    ^Good luck with that!

    I think you'll be stuck with the technology in the Enzo- sorry to break it to you!

    Ken...

    Congratulations...! An Enzo is quite a car to add to any stable... For the Enzo-crazed (myself included), here comes the obligatory question: can you tell us the serial number...? :)

    Of course, pictures are always welcomed... Again, congratulations...

    Wow those are awesome cars, You should add the new 722 Sp Ed SLR to this collection too for daily driving fun :)

    Next I would add the SLR I mentioned if you are not too crazi about Pagani F and Koenigsegg CCX..

    But wow!! Dream garage..

    If you wouldnt mind answering how much did you pay for the Enzo that would give us an idea as to where the current prices are for the enzo?

    Congratulations! As said, that is an amazing collection.You have to post some pictures!!! A Mercedes Benz SLR 722 would fit perfectly with the others. One supercar would be enough for me and you have TWO!!!!

    Congratulations again. :)

    Thank you and congratulations...! That's quite a selection of cars you have their...

    130270 is red with black leather; Assembly Number 47311... This car was at the Cavallino Classic back in 2004... Did this car come to you from Florida or...? Also, if I'm not pushing, how many miles now on the car...?

    Thanks again; would also love to hear your comparison impressions of the Enzo and the CGT...

    Awesome collection! Congrats on the Enzo!
    I also think you're stuck with the gearbox you have. The gearbox in the 599 is amazing. Maybe you could get one of those.

    I prefer the shift in the Carrera GT to the F1 in the Enzo.
    But I love driving both!!The 430 shifts amazing really fast!
    Different cars,the Carbon fiber in the Enzo creaks alittle more than I would like, but that is to be expected NO Insulation.
    The car is from New York 750 miles perfect condition!!
    I drove the SLR not interesting just a faster SL65! with fancy does.

    Beautiful collection. Congratulations! I don't think there is any way to speed up the shifting time for your Enzo but I might be wrong. Since it is a computer there might be a way to upgrade it through Ferrari. I would call a Ferrari dealer in your area to see if it is a possibility. Again I might be wrong but that is the only way of improving shift timings that I can think of.
